Abstract

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) is a disease characterized by the destruction of beta cells’ pancreatic islets that leads to low or undetectable levels of endogenous insulin. Good glycemic control is the gold standard for preventing microvascular and macrovascular complications. In the clinical case described below, we found a young patient diagnosed with type 1 DM with multiple complications secondary to poor glycemic control. In addition, the patient has an Addison syndrome, which is sometimes related to diabetes but is not a complication of it.
