Burnt-out diabetes mellitus

Burnt-out diabetes mellitus or simply burnt-out diabetes are terms for a medical hypothesis that holds that hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) of diabetes mellitus may disappear in a proportion of diabetic patients with end-stage renal disease including dialysis patients, even if those individuals have already suffered from some terminal consequences of diabetes mellitus including diabetic nephropathy that led to their kidney failure.
The terminology was first discussed by Indian nephrologists in The Hindu (reference) and then systematically discussed by Csaba P Kovesdy and his colleagues in an aricle that appeared early 2010 in the Seminars in Dialysis
