The patient was noted on routine lab work to have elevated blood glucose, and subsequent laboratory analysis revealed a hemoglobin A1c of 8.9% with normal serum insulin concentrations and negative autoimmune evaluation. She did not have physical exam findings or stigmata of insulin resistance. A continuous glucose monitor revealed significant postprandial hyperglycemia. She was initially treated with prandial insulin and was later transitioned to oral sitagliptin due to adherence and administration difficulties. To the best of our knowledge, this is one of the first patients with POLE-mediated IMAGe syndrome to be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Given the presence of adrenal insufficiency in this population and the lifelong need for glucocorticoid therapy, special care should be taken when dosing glucocorticoids to reduce the risk of the patient developing insulin resistance. Further research is needed to determine if type 2 diabetes is part of the phenotype for these genetic variants and to elucidate the associated underlying pathophysiology.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1210\/jcemcr\/luaf132","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,10]],"date-time":"2025-06-10T12:29:04Z","timestamp":1749558544000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Type
