Abstract:
Gitelman syndrome is a rare hereditary nephropathy, which causes chronic metabolic alkalosis with low potassium and magnesium levels. There is no known coherence between Gitelman syndrome and Type-1 diabetes but patients with both diseases that develop diabetic ketoacidosis might present with normal acid status and receive incorrect treatment. In our case report the patient was known with both diseases and quickly diagnosed and treated but the condition is rare and previously only described in two other case reports.

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:
Hypoglycemia and Glucagon

Diabetes: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Complications
Pathophysiology of Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β cells, with environmental factors potentially triggering this process in genetically susceptible individuals. Despite many not having a family history, certain genes increase susceptibility,...
