Abstract
We herein report a 52-year-old woman with a rare combination of short bowel syndrome due to massive resection of the small intestine and complete loss of endogenous insulin due to type 1 diabetes. To provide nutritional support, she was treated with total parenteral nutrition with co-administration of insulin, requiring careful matching of insulin and glucose levels. This case report provides insights on glycemic excursion and insulin action in type 1 diabetes, even when both insulin and glucose are administered directly into circulation, and the usual obstacles caused by subcutaneous injection of insulin and oral intake of nutrients are eliminated.
