Diabetic Amyotrophy co-occurring with treatment induced neuropathy of diabetes (TIND): a case report

Abstract

Diabetic amyotrophy is a rare condition in diabetic patients, usually associated with important weight loss. In the present case, we show a rare presentation of diabetic amyotrophy phenotype in the context of treatment induced neuropathy of diabetes neuropathy (TIND) after a strict glycemic control in a patient with long-standing poor controlled diabetes and without related weight loss. Even though it’s an uncommon presentation, because of diabetes high prevalence worldwide the knowledge of its complications is important to the adequate treatment and follow-up to improve patients’ quality of life.
