Abstract
Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is an antimalarial agent that is commonly used to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The present report documents a case of hypoglycaemia due to HCQ in a patient with SLE and diabetes mellitus type 2, in which the HCQ completely replaced the need for daily subcutaneous insulin.Entities:
