Abstract
In Brief
For patients with diabetes, the additional diagnosis of HIV increases the challenge of self-care management. However, in patients with HIV who develop hyperglycemia, the added responsibilities can be overwhelming. This article describes the research studies that link treatment of HIV with the development of diabetes and offers suggestions for screening patients with HIV for diabetes.
