Inhibition of leukotrienes and their potential role in type 1 diabetes pathogenesis: implications for montelukast as a therapeutic agent: a case report
This case suggests that montelukast may reduce insulin needs in type 1 diabetes patients, potentially through its anti-inflammatory effects on eosinophils. These findings highlight the need for further research into montelukast's role in type 1 diabetes management and its potential to preserve beta-cell function or reduce insulin dependence.
