Abstract
Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and Leflunomide (LE) are agents that are commonly used to treat rheumatoid arthritis. Type 2 Diabetes (DM2) patients are in increased risk of hypoglycemia. The present report documents a case of repeated dawn hypoglycemic episodes due to concomitant use of HCQ, LE and Repaglinide in a patient with Rheumatoid arthritis and DM2.
