We describe a case of type-2 diabetes mellitus with significant improvement in blood glucose control and significant decrease in insulin requirements after initiation of spinal cord stimulation. We believe that spinal cord stimulation may provide additional beneficial effects in patients with chronic pain and diabetes.

IMPLICATIONS: Spinal cord stimulation when used for control of chronic pain in diabetics may provide additional benefits of improving glycemic control and insulin requirements.
