Insulin autoimmune syndrome, or Hirata's disease, is a rare cause of hypoglycaemia. It is characterised by spontaneous episodes of hypoglycaemia, without any exposure to exogenous insulin. The majority of cases are seen in the Japanese population and it is rarely found to affect other ethnicities. The recognition of this disease is important to avoid unnecessary investigations and procedures. Here, we report two cases of insulin autoimmune syndrome, which were diagnosed and managed in our institute.
胰岛素自身免疫综合征，即平田病，是低血糖症的一种罕见病因。其特征为自发性低血糖发作，且未接触任何外源性胰岛素。大多数病例见于日本人群，很少发现会影响其他种族。认识这种疾病对于避免不必要的检查和程序很重要。在此，我们报告在我院诊断和治疗的两例胰岛素自身免疫综合征病例。
