After 8 cycles of immunotherapy (about 4 months), the patient developed severe nausea and vomiting. Laboratory tests showed random blood glucose 43.2-mmol/L and β-hydroxybutyric acid 5.3-mmol/L. Blood gas analysis showed pH 7.01, bicarbonate root 4.0-mmol/L, alkali residual -22.4-mmol/L, serum potassium 6.1-mmol/L, and lactic acid 2.9-mmol/L. The patient had no previous history of diabetes mellitus. Fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus due to nivolimab was considered. Nivolumab was stopped and rehydration, hypoglycemia, acidosis correction, and other symptomatic treatments were given. Two days later, her symptoms were improved obviously. Laboratory tests showed fasting plasma glucose 15.8-mmol/L and β-hydroxybutyric acid 0.2-mmol/L.
