Glucokinase maturity-onset diabetes of the young as a mimicker of stress hyperglycemia: a case report

Abstract

Highlights• In certain patients, GCK-MODY mimics stress hyperglycemia during febrile seizures• Detailed family history and mildly elevated HbA1c distinguish GCK-MODY

Response to the Letter to the Editor entitled “Glucokinase maturity-onset diabetes of the young as a mimicker of stress hyperglycemia: a case report” by Amanda Doherty-Kirby, Clin Pediatr Endocrinol 2023;32:72–75

“…We thank Dr. Doherty-Kirby for her comments on our paper. She pointed out the possible coexistence of stress hyperglycemia and GCK-MODY in our case report, “Glucokinase maturity-onset diabetes of the young as a mimicker of stress hyperglycemia: a case report” ( 1 ). We agree with this point.…”

Letter to the Editor: Stress Hyperglycemia or Glucokinase Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young (GCK-MODY) or Both?

“…I read the recent case report “Glucokinase maturity-onset diabetes of the young as a mimicker of stress hyperglycemia: a case report” by Nakasato et al with interest ( 1 ). The authors present a case of hyperglycemia in the context of febrile seizure.…”
