ABSTRACT
We report a rare case of diabetes in the setting of glycogen storage disease type Ia. The underlying pathogenesis for developing diabetes in these patients is unclear, and there is always fear of iatrogenic hypoglycemia which leads to unclear guidelines in the management of such patient. In this particular case we started a combination of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor and short acting regular insulin subcutaneously every 4 hours according to sliding scale, which was successful.
Key words: Glycogen Storage Disease, hyperglycemia
