Summary:The presented case is a 68-year-old female with Type 1 diabetes (T1D). She was admitted for an emergency case with acute distress in January 2018 and was diagnosed with T1D with a blood glucose (BG) level of 459 mg/dL, HbA1c of 13.7%, glutamic acid decarboxylase autoantibody (GADA) level >2000 U/mL (<5 U/mL), and C-reactive protein (CRP) level of 1.10 ng/mL. She received Multiple Daily Injections (MDI) of insulin for 3 months, and then her HbA1c decreased to 7.3%. After that, she has been on a super-low carbohydrate diet (LCD) and received only Lantus XR and ipragliflozin. Serum CRP showed 0.2 ng/mL, suggesting a prolonged honeymoon period for years through continuous LCD.
