Abstract
Aims Phenylketonuria and type 1 diabetes are lifelong metabolic disorders requiring complex and potentially conflicting nutritional strategies. Their coexistence is rare, yet management may become particularly challenging during transition from pediatric to adult care. We describe the case of a young adult with phenylketonuria who developed type 1 diabetes.
Methods A 27-year-old man with longstanding phenylketonuria was referred to an adult metabolic-diabetes center after the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes. Clinical, biochemical, nutritional, and continuous glucose monitoring data were reviewed. The intervention included structured therapeutic education, transition from fixed insulin doses to a dynamic regimen based on carbohydrate counting, and revision of medical nutrition therapy using phenylketonuria-adapted low-protein foods and sugar-free phenylalanine-free amino acid supplements.
Results At diagnosis, HbA1c was 11.5%, with markedly reduced C-peptide levels and high titer anti-GAD antibodies. Ini-tial diabetes management was associated with poor adherence to the phenylketonuria diet, increased intake of conventional protein sources, and elevated phenylalanine levels. After individualized insulin titration and nutritional intervention, HbA1c improved from 11.5% to 7.8%, phenylalanine levels decreased from 842 to 705 μmol/L, insulin requirement declined from 0.55 to 0.3 IU/kg/day, and continuous glucose monitoring showed improved glycemic control without increased hypoglyce-mia. The Glycemia Risk Index improved from high-risk Zone E to low-intermediate-risk Zone B.
Conclusions This case highlights the need for personalized multidisciplinary care integrating continuous glucose monitor-ing, carbohydrate counting, and phenylketonuria specific nutrition to optimize both metabolic conditions.
