Behavior Modification Maintenance with Long-Term Blood Glucose and Weight Management in Prader–Willi Syndrome Complicated with Diabetes: Team Management Approach Combined with Pharmacological Treatment
The patient was a 40-year-old woman, who had been diagnosed with Prader–Willi syndrome (PWS) at 1 year of age and type 2 diabetes at 27 years of age. At 34 years of age, she was hospitalized to start insulin therapy and receive guidance on treatment. During the next 6 months and through regular once...
