One-sentence paraphrase of the abstract; not a substitute for reading it. No clinical advice. How this works

Abstract

Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus developed in a young woman 8 weeks after the initiation of danazol for treatment of pelvic endometriosis. After discontinuation of danazol the diabetes completely resolved. We suspect a possible cause-and-effect relationship, which has not previously been reported in the literature.
