Case report: Uncovering hidden glucose patterns in medicated versus unmedicated bipolar disorder and comorbid type 1 diabetes mellitus
ConclusionThe case report highlights the importance of the ongoing psychopharmacotherapy of bipolar disorder in comorbid type 1 diabetes mellitus to reduce mood-induced reactivity, emotional urgency, and non-emotional impulsivity that may contribute to dysglycemia. If not effectively treated, the “bipolar diabetes” is likely to progress to multiple psychiatric and somatic complications. The bidirectional links between the phases of bipolar disorder and the corresponding continuous glucose patterns can help advance clinical decision-making and yield innovative1 research that can translate into efficacious clinical practice.
