Methods In this retrospective analysis, the clinical data and treatment process of one patient with m.3243A>G mutation-related MDM were analyzed, and relevant literature was reviewed. Results The 42-year-old female patient was admitted to the hospital due to poor blood glucose control and limb numbness. Combined with testing for mitochondrial gene, the patient received insulin combined with empagliflozin. Blood glucose control was improved and insulin dosage was reduced. Conclusion MDM has insulin resistance.Insulin combined with with SGLT-2 inhibitors can be treated, and its potential benefits need more comprehensive research.
