Patients with panniculitis associated acquired lipodystrophy syndrome and type 1 diabetes have difficulty in blood glucose management due to the presence of both severe insulin resistance and complete insulin deficiency. It is often necessary to use insulin doses several times that of other children of the same age with type 1 diabetes. Since autoimmune response is the main cause of panniculitis associated acquired lipodystrophy syndrome, immunosuppressive agents can suppress immune response, prevent and alleviate the progression of panniculitis and acquired lipodystrophy syndrome, and improve insulin resistance caused by subcutaneous fat deficiency. Cyclophosphamide is a classic immunosuppressive agent. This study hopes to improve insulin resistance of patients with panniculitis associated acquired lipodystrophy syndrome and type 1 diabetes by cyclophosphamide treatment, thereby reducing insulin dosage and improving glucose metabolism.
