- Abstract
The article describes the case of a 71 year old woman with type 2 diabetes referred to the hospital due to severe lipoatrophy throughout the whole abdomen induced by insulin therapy. The patient was diagnosed with insulin-induced lipoatrophy since it appeared after the introduction of insulin therapy and started spreading from the site of insulin injection. Insulin therapy was stopped and she was started on an oral antidiabetes drug.
