Abstract

Glucocorticoid-induced hyperglycemia is a frequent scenario faced by the clinician during his daily hospital practice, constituting a challenge in the approach and control of the metabolic state of these patients in order to reduce their associated morbidity and mortality. We present the clinical case of a 69-year-old female patient with a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus and non-hodgkin’s lymphoma, hospitalized for the start of the retreatment cycle, during which sustained hyperglycemia of difficult management is documented. The patient received treatment with basal bolus protocol and an additional bolus of NPH insulin titrated according to the dose and type of glucocorticoid applied, achieving adequate metabolic control.

A review of the literature regarding glucocorticoid-induced hyperglycemia, its approach and treatment, and existing recommendations regarding the use of NPH insulin as an additional corrective scheme is made.
