ABSTRACT

Insulin edema is a rare complication seen in patients with newly diagnosed, poorly controlled diabetes in a short period of time after starting intensive insulin therapy. It frequently limits itself. In this case report, we present an underweight patient with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes mellitus who presented with diabetic ketosis and developed insulin edema following hydration and high-dose insulin therapy.
