A patient diagnosed with new-onset type 1 diabetes and Addison's disease at initial presentation.

This case shows the importance of considering multiple diagnoses and investigating atypical signs and symptoms. This case highlights the importance of a thorough history including review of systems. Hyponatremia and recurrent hypoglycemia in a person with type 1 diabetes should raise suspicion for adrenal insufficiency. This case makes us consider the screening for Addison's disease in a person with new onset type 1 diabetes in addition to autoimmune thyroid disease and celiac disease. People with an autoimmune disease should be monitored for other autoimmune diseases in the future.
