A 42-year-old female patient received a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus 3 years ago, and was treated with empagliflozin/metformin. She had a surgical intervention for uterine myomatosis, and presented immediately after the surgery neurological deterioration, metabolic acidosis without hyperglycemia, and hydroelectrolytic imbalance. She was admitted to the intensive care unit and required treatment with hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis due to refractory acidosis.

Objective: To identify the influence of carbohydrate (CHO) intake on oxidative status among women with and without gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Materials and methods: A cross-sectional, observational and comparative study was carried out with two groups of 21 women each with and without GDM in the city of Toluca, Mexico, from January to December 2022. The sociodemographic parameters were determined by administering the patients a medical history questionnaire; anthropometric parameters such as body weight and height were measured; and biochemical parameters including total cholesterol (TC) and triglycerides (TG) were calculated. The oxidant/antioxidant status was assessed as follows: malondialdehyde (MDA) as oxidative stress marker; and catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) as antioxidants. Dietary habits were evaluated through a 24-hour ...
