📌 Post-operative Follow-up:

Within 3 months, her HbA1c improved to 6.8%.
Steroid tapering was initiated and closely monitored.

[Endocrine Society of India @IndiaESI]

Post-operative Findings:

On post-op day 1, cortisol levels were 1.5 mcg/dl, indicating adrenal insufficiency, which was managed with hydrocortisone.

[Endocrine Society of India @IndiaESI]

📌 Management:

The patient underwent successful transsphenoidal pituitary surgery

[Endocrine Society of India @IndiaESI]

📌 Diagnosis:
Her "type 2 diabetes" was secondary to Cushing’s disease, caused by an ACTH-secreting pituitary adenoma.

[Endocrine Society of India @IndiaESI]

📌 Imaging:

MRI of the pituitary: A 9 mm hypointense lesion was found in the right pituitary, strongly suggestive of an ACTH-secreting adenoma.

[Endocrine Society of India @IndiaESI]

📌 The Next Step: Screening Tests
We decided to screen for cushings
Overnight 1 mg dexamethasone suppression test: No suppression, cortisol = 11.4 mcg/dl.
24-hour urinary free cortisol: Elevated at 345 mcg/24 hr (normal <50).
ACTH: 86 pg/mL (elevated).

📌 Initial Thoughts:
At first glance, this appeared to be a classic case of T2DM, likely worsened by weight gain. However, subtle features like facial puffiness and muscle weakness didn’t fully align with what we'd expect from uncontrolled T2DM. This led us to dig deeper.

[Endocrine Society of India @IndiaESI]

📌 Key History:

Gradual weight gain (15 kg in 3 years)
Increasing fatigue and muscle weakness over the last year.
Complaints of facial fullness and a sensation of puffiness around her neck.
Irregular menstrual cycles with longer gaps.
No family history of diabetes.

[Endocrine Society of India @IndiaESI]

Despite her efforts, her blood sugars remain high, and she's gained significant weight over the past few years. It appeared to be a straightforward case of type 2 diabetes, but the situation wasn’t as simple as it seemed
