Introduction: the regulation of glycemia requires the activation of different hormones in addition to insulin. Through mechanisms of insulinopenia or insulin resistance (IR), as in acromegaly (Acro) or Cushing's syndrome, endocrinopathies can precipitate states of hyperglycemia. The presence of diabetes mellitus (DM) increases the morbidity and mortality of these patients, which is why both the treatment and follow-up of the underlying disease is fundamental.
Objectives: to describe the clinical and biochemical characteristics of patients with Acro and hypercortisolism (HyperC), comparing those with or without DM.
