Abstract
The type B insulin resistance syndrome is a manifestation of autoantibodies to the insulin receptor. The disease causes the hyperinsulinemia and a spectrum of abnormalities in glucose homeostasis, ranging from extreme insulin resistance to fasting hypoglycemia. It is known to be related with autoimmune diseases. We report a case of the type B insulin resistance syndrome which was presented as severe hyperglycemia resistant to large amount of insulin. This case showed manifestations of other autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto`s thyroiditis and overlap syndrome of mixed connective tissue disease as well as hyperinsulinemia and acanthosis nigricans related with extreme insulin resistance. Short period of steroid therapy (prednisolone 30 mg/day for 8 days) made a clinical improvement in this case.
Key Words: Hashimoto`s thyroiditis, Hyperinsulinemia, Insulin resistance, Overlap syndrome of mixed connective tissue disease, Receptor antibody
