A 32-year-old woman, asthmatic on irregular treatment with prednisone (last dose 1 month ago), Graves Basedow's disease for 3 years, restarted treatment 3 months before (methimazole 40 mg / day). History of abortion two weeks prior to admission. She came for loss of consciousness, finding hypoglycemia. As hypoglycemia persists despite the treatment instituted and other etiological causes ruled out, the endocrinological evaluation confirms autoimmune hypoglycemia, autoantibody levels against insulin and extremely high insulin.
