Age is no longer the most important differentiating feature between type 1 and type 2 diabetes, as obesity and metabolic syndrome are on the rise in the pediatric population. Here we present a case of a 30-year-old male individual initially diagnosed with uncontrolled type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) since the age of 15, and treatment with high insulin doses has been unsuccessful. He was later identified as having abdominal obesity-metabolic syndrome 3 (AOMS3) based on strong family history and the presence of insulin resistance features. AOMS3 is characterized by early-onset coronary artery disease, central obesity, hypertension, and diabetes. Early detection of this condition is crucial to implement timely interventions and preventing the onset of complications.
