title: [Hematochromatosis and diabetes].
abstract: Nowadays, haemochromatosis is often diagnosed when the patient is monosymptomatic. Diabetes is frequently the first expression of the disease. So, it is important to know the clinical and biologic characteristics to evoke diagnosis as early as possible. Uncommon presentations request systematic screening.
