Abstract
It is known that type 1 diabetes mellitus (type 1 DM) maybe associated with other autoimmune diseases, such as autoimmune thyroid disease (ATD), celiac disease (CD) and Addison's disease (AD). We report the case of a patient with type 1 DM associated with familial mediterranean fever (FMF). It is the third association of these two diseases described in the medical literature to our knowledge so far.
