Diabetes Care

Abstract

To emphasis the need for timely diagnosis of Alström syndrome. We report a case of late-detected Alström syndrome in a boy 15 1/2 years of age who was admitted because of poor wound healing and hyperglycemia. Diagnosis was made and the patient's impaired glucose tolerance improved by diet. Regular follow-ups are needed to recognize and possibly prevent late-appearing complications.
