title: An unusual case of recurrent hypoglycaemia: 10-year follow up of a child with insulin auto-immunity.
abstract: We report the case of a child with hypoglycaemia due to insulin auto-immunity. Insulin auto-immunity is the third most frequent cause of hypoglycaemia in Japan where the first cases were described. The child has been followed for the past 10 years with recurrence of hypoglycaemic symptoms and high titres of insulin antibodies.
