During hospitalization the foal developed hyperglycemia concomitantly with low insulin concentration and an adequate response to exogenous insulin therapy supported a diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes mellitus. On follow up assessment the foal was found to be a healthy euglycemic animal with normal insulin concentration at 11 months of age. Type 1 diabetes mellitus should be considered a differential diagnosis for hyperglycemia in equine neonates and that it can be transient and managed successfully. The insulin concentration in normal foals from birth to 7 days of age is 13.5 AE 1.5 mU/mL. Low insulin concentrations accompanying hyperglycemia and an adequate response to exogenous insulin supports a diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes mellitus. The foal developed complications that resolved with appropriate care and was a healthy animal with normal glycemia and insulin concentration at 11 months of age.	./cache/cord-337129-6wt6wzxv.txt	./txt/cord-337129-6wt6wzxv.txt
