title: Insulin-insensitive variety of combined types A and B diabetes mellitus progressing to systemic lupus erythematosus.
abstract: We have described a patient whose clinical course suggests that Kahn's types A and B insulin-resistant diabetes mellitus can exist as insulin-insensitive variants, type A can progress to type B, and type B insulin-insensitive diabetes can be associated with classical SLE long after the diabetes (and acanthosis nigricans) have resolved.
