Abstract:
A 59-year-old Chinese male patient was admitted at diagnosis of type 1 diabetes with ketoacidosis. During the normalization of blood glucose with insulin, the patient developed acute hemolysis. The factors predisposing to hemolysis were not found, except the significantly diminished activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD). DNA analysis did not show any coding or intronic mutation in the G6PD gene. This is the first reported case of a Chinese patient in diabetic ketoacidosis with hemolysis induced by G6PD deficiency in the absence of mutations in the G6PD gene.

Glucose Transporters
Facilitated diffusion-glucose transporters (GLUTs) are encoded by the solute-linked carrier (SLC) family 2, subfamily A gene family, or SLC2A. The 14 GLUT protein members are distributed into three classes:
