Seventeen years prior, she was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Metformin 1.5\u00a0g twice a day and glibenclamide 10\u00a0mg twice a day were part of her therapy regimen. When she was admitted to the emergency room, she described a one-day history of shortness of breath, frequent urination, excessive thirst, hyperglycemia, excessive appetite, fever, headache, and dehydration. A chest radiograph showed bilateral diffuse, patchy airspace opacities that could be caused by multifocal pneumonia or viral pneumonia. She started receiving 1000\u00a0ml of fluid resuscitation (0.9% normal saline) as soon as she was moved to an ICU, along with a drip-in insulin infusion.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Clinical Discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Diabetes, infections like COVID-19, poor vitamin levels, and other factors can all contribute to diabetic neuropathies.
