Recorded note
Mr. Thomas Wilson, a 52-year-old male with a known history of type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension, was admitted to our facility on 23rd July 2025 with complaints of generalized weakness, excessive thirst, frequent urination, and confusion over the last 2–3 days. He reported poor appetite and weight loss over the past few weeks and admitted to having missed his oral diabetic medications regularly due to work-related travel.
On examination, the patient appeared dehydrated and lethargic, though oriented to person and place. His blood pressure on admission was 142/86 mmHg, pulse rate 104 bpm, and random blood sugar was 474 mg/dL. No signs of focal neurological deficits or ketotic breath were noted. Systemic examination was otherwise within normal limits.
Laboratory evaluation revealed marked hyperglycemia (RBS: 474 mg/dL), with raised serum osmolality. Arterial blood gas analysis did not show ketoacidosis. HbA1c was found to be 10.4%, indicating poor long-term glycemic control. Serum creatinine was slightly elevated, likely due to dehydration. Electrolyte imbalance was noted (low sodium, mild hypokalemia). Urinalysis was negative for ketones. ECG and chest X-ray were unremarkable.
The patient was diagnosed with Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic State (HHS), and managed in a monitored setting. He received cautious IV fluid resuscitation, correction of electrolytes, and insulin infusion titrated according to blood glucose levels. Oral antidiabetic therapy was withheld initially and later switched to a basal-bolus insulin regimen as his condition stabilized. His antihypertensive therapy (Amlodipine 5 mg daily) was continued as before.
Over the course of 3 days, the patient showed gradual improvement. His sensorium cleared, oral intake improved, and blood sugar levels normalized. Renal function returned to baseline. He was counseled extensively on diabetic self-care, importance of medication adherence, dietary control, and regular monitoring. A diabetes educator met with the patient and his spouse to provide support and education.
