Abstract

The persistence of appetite loss following treatment for hyperglycemia and diabetic ketoacidosis is a notable phenomenon in clinical practice. In this case report, we present the clinical course of a patient who experienced ongoing appetite suppression despite appropriate management of hyperglycemia and resolution of diabetic ketoacidosis. The case underscores the importance of recognizing and addressing factors contributing to persistent appetite loss in diabetic patients, beyond glycemic control alone. Further research is warranted to elucidate the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon and develop targeted interventions to improve appetite and overall nutritional status in this population.
