Post-transplant diabetes mellitus [PTDM], developing in almost one quarter of renal transplant patients within three years after the procedure, contributes to post-transplant morbidity and mortality by increasing the risk of infection and cardiovascular events. PTDM is considered a variant of diabetes mellitus [DM] type II and results in similar microvascular and macrovascular diabetic complications seen in non-transplant patients. In this article, we present a case of single lung transplant patient who developed PTDM with a severe DKA as the first manifestation of the disease. PTDM resolved rapidly after discontinuing tacrolimus
