Fasting blood glucose fluctuated between 19.4- 26.2mmol/L, fasting insulin >300mU/L, triglyceride 0.72mmol/L, creatinine 109.6umol/L, anti-nuclear and anti-nuclear antibody titer ⁺ 1: 320(abnormal), anti-nuclear antibody karyotype spot type, anti-SMD1 antibody positive ⁺, anti- U1-SNRn antibody positive ⁺, anti-SS-A-RO60kDA antibody positive ⁺, anti-SSA-RO52A antibody positive ⁺. Routine blood, red blood cell 2.87 * 10 ^ 12 / L (4.30-5.80 * 10 ^ 12 / L), hemoglobin 82 g/L (130-175 - g/L), platelet 372 * 10 ^ 9 / L (125-350 * 10 ^ 9 / L; Diagnosis: 1. Systemic lupus erythematosus lupus blood system involvement lupus nephritis; 2. Type B insulin-resistant diabetes; 3. Sjogren's syndrome; 4 Subclinical hypothyroidism. Immunomodulatory preparations methylprednisolone sodium succinate, Taitacept, cyclophosphamide, hydroxychloroquine, and insulin intensive treatment were used, fasting blood glucose was 20-26.2mmol/L, random blood glucose was 22-29.9mmol/L, and insulin therapy was discontinued. Patients had stable blood glucose control after changing to oral metformin sustained-release tablets, acarbose, Englipzin, ligagliptin, and the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogue semaglutide. After stable blood glucose control, the hypoglycemic drugs were stopped, and the injection of semaglutide 0.25mg was continued once a week. After continuous use for 3 months, semaglutide was stopped by itself, and immunomodulators prednesone acetate, Talitacepil, cyclophosphamide and hydroxychloroquine were continued to be used, and blood glucose was controlled by 4-6mmol/L.
