CaseHPOFreeText: Patient has a spontaneous full-term vaginal delivery without birth trauma or asphyxia. At birth, the patient weighed 2000 g (< 3rd percentile), though her length was unknown. Her first primary tooth emerged at 9 months and her ability to say “mom” and “dad” developed at 10 months. Throughout childhood, the patient consistently lagged in growth and development compared with their peers. At 5 years of age, her height was only 99.7 cm (−3 SD) and her weight 11.5 kg(< 3rd percentile). By age 9, her height was 116.5 cm (−3 SD) and her weight was 15.0 kg(< 3rd percentile). Her test results revealed a fasting blood glucose (FBG) level of 5.48 mmol/L and 2-hour postprandial blood glucose level of 8.04 mmol/L. Notably, her postprandial 2-hour insulin level exceeded the upper detection limit (> 2152.5 pmol/L), while her postprandial 2-hour C-peptide level was 0.4 nmol/L. Her glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was 5.78%. Consequently, she was prescribed long-term voglibose monotherapy. The patient exhibited distinctive facial features. The patient also exhibited visible veins and had polycystic ovarian syndrome.
