A female newborn of 1,870 g with low Apgar scores, after septicemia, shock and blood exchange transfusion, developed a transient diabetes mellitus on the seventh day after birth. The disease was kept well under control by insulin, given at first intravenously and later subcutaneously. The amount of insulin required decreased continuously. Even when the blood glucose level was high, there was no coma or ketoacidosis.
