摘要

Background

Sulfonylureas constitute the standard therapy for patients with HNF1A-MODY (maturity-onset diabetes of the young) but are characterized by an increased risk of hypoglycemia. While SGLT2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) may potentially represent a useful therapeutic option, data from the literature are scant.

Case presentation

We report the case of a young woman affected by HNF1A-MODY who was successfully and safely treated with an SGLT2i in addition to sulfonylurea. After SGLT2i initiation, an improvement in the patient’s glycemic control was observed and was maintained over time. No adverse effects were noted and, in particular, no increase in ketonemia or ketonuria occurred.

Conclusions

The use of SGLT2i under controlled circumstances may represent a useful therapeutic option in patients with HNF1A-MODY.
