Popis: Background Although diabetes is a common complication of acromegaly or Cushing´s disease, there are only few detailed studies with a focus on cardiovascular risk, metabolic control or diabetes therapy. Here, we provide a comprehensive characterization from the longitudinal DPV (Diabetes Patienten Verlaufsdokumentation) registry. Methods Patients from the registry≥18 years of age with diabetes and acromegaly or Cushing´s disease were compared to patients with type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes using the statistical software SAS 9.4. Results Patients with diabetes and acromegaly (n=52) or Cushing’s disease (n=15) were significantly younger at diabetes onset (median age 50.1 and 45.0 vs. 59.0 years in type 2 diabetes; both p Conclusion Patients with acromegaly are at a high risk for cardiovascular disease, reflected by dyslipidemia and hypertension. A high proportion of patients with diabetes in acromegaly or Cushing´s disease receives insulin. Based on a multicenter register, a sufficient number of patients with rare forms of diabetes can be analyzed.
