Pasireotide‐induced hyperglycemia in a patient with Cushing's disease: Potential use of sodium‐glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor and glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonist for treatment

Abstract

Abstract Pasireotide improves hypercortisolemia and induces hyperglycemia via somatostatin receptor type‐5 stimulation. GLP‐1RA and SGLT2 inhibitor potentially help regulate hyperglycemia in patients with Cushing's disease, especially after pasireotide administration.
