Core Tip

Core Tip: Our case describes a sad and rare development of multiple microvascular complications: Charcot neuroarthropathy with multiple joint involvement, severe proliferative diabetic retinopathy, gastroparesis, bladder voiding disorders, and end-stage renal failure. These devastating complications, which were probably due to the rapid correction of long-term hyperglycemia, severely impacted the quality of life of a young patient with type 1 diabetes.
