A 9-year-old Somali girl was referred to the Paediatric Diabetic Clinic, Al-Amiri Hospital for control of her diabetes. On physical examination, she was found to have several somatic abnormalities and acanthosis nigricans. Biochemical and hormonal investigations revealed no major abnormalities apart from that of glucose metabolism. Insulin resistance was detected early on initiating treatment and, even with high doses, it was impossible to achieve normoglycaemia. This case is similar to other cases described in the literature with insulin resistance and acanthosis nigricans type A.
