To the Editor: Heterozygous activating mutations in KCNJ11 are the major cause of neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM). Although patients with KCNJ11 NDM usually develop hyperglycaemia in an insulin-dependent state, most of them can transfer from insulin treatment to high-dose sulfonylurea [1]. The administered dose per body weight of sulfonylurea might be reduced over time because most patients show better glycaemic control [2]. However, some individuals show failure of long-term sulfonylurea treatment, which necessitates the reintroduction of insulin during adolescence or puberty [3]. The dose per body weight of sulfonylurea for these patients with worsened glycaemic control at the time of reintroduction of insulin was lower than the initial dose per body weight at the time of transferring from insulin, and it has not been verified whether further increment in sulfonylurea dose can control glucose levels in individuals with worsened condition during puberty. Here, we report a case of KCNJ11 NDM in which an increase in glibenclamide to the initial dose per body weight improved the pubertal deterioration of glycaemic control. A 31-day-old male infant who presented with fever was diagnosed with diabetes (blood glucose level, 38.0 mmol/l) and undetectable immunoreactive insulin levels. At 1 year of age, KCNJ11 analysis revealed a de novo R201H heterozygous mutation, which is the most common mutation that gives rise to KCNJ11 NDM [1, 3]. He was successfully transferred from insulin (0.8 U kg− 1 day− 1) to glibenclamide (Sanofi, Japan) treatment (0.97 mg kg− 1 day− 1) when his HbA1c level was 84 mmol/mol (9.8%) at 20 months of age. Besides transitory mild diarrhoea, no other side effects of glibenclamide or severe hypoglycaemia were observed. The patient’s HbA1c level was well controlled to about 44 mmol/mol (6.2%) until early childhood, and the glibenclamide dose was tapered (Fig. 1). However, his HbA1c level gradually increased during puberty, which started at 10 years of age (testicular volume, 4 ml [4]). The patient adhered to the diabetes treatment; we consulted him monthly and asked about adherence, confirming that he did not have unused medication left over. The patient’s BMI SD score had been approximately 0 over a period of time. At 11 years and 4 months of age, his HbA1c level increased to 60 mmol/mol (7.6%) while still on 0.16 mg kg− 1 day− 1 glibenclamide. Thus, glibenclamide was gradually increased to 0.37 mg kg− 1 day− 1 at 12 years and 8 months of age. Despite the increase in glibenclamide, his HbA1c level worsened to 73 mmol/mol (8.8%). At 12 years and 9 months of age, the glibenclamide dose was increased to 0.98 mg kg− 1 day− 1 over 5 days. Consequently, the average (mean) blood glucose levels measured with a continuous glucose monitoring system decreased from 11.8±3.0 mmol/l (average±SD) to 8.7±2.6 mmol/l and urinary C-peptide level increased from 41.8±17.0 μg/day (3 day average±SD) to 56.4±2.6 μg/day. Along with that, his HbA1c level decreased to 53 mmol/mol (7.0%) 4 months later (Fig. 1). Even on highdose glibenclamide, severe hypoglycaemia did not occur. At 13 years and 7 months of age, his HbA1c levels stopped decreasing. Therefore, three doses of 50 mg miglitol (Sanwakagaku, Japan) per day were prescribed in combination with glibenclamide in the hope of further improving glycaemic
