Graves’ disease (GD) and type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) are auto-immune conditions that are frequently encountered independently in the practice of endocrinology. Both endocrinopathies can however be encountered in the same patient. In children, T1DM has been severally reported to develop first with onset of GD after many years. We report the case of a -9- year old girl with GD who developed T1DM shortly afterwards.
