title: Classical microangiopathic diabetic complications in the absence of overt diabetes mellitus.
abstract: A 47-year-old Arab male presented with a nephrotic syndrome and renal failure. Proliferative retinopathy was documented on fundoscopy. There was no history of symptomatic hyperglycemia, and biochemically, there was impaired glucose tolerance. This patient had classical microangiopathic complications that are closely related to the severity and duration of diabetes mellitus in the absence of overt hyperglycemia.
