Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease characterised by chronically high glucose levels. Genetic factors have been implicated in the etiology following mutations in a single gene. An extremely rare form of diabetes mellitus is monogenic diabetes, a subset of which is permanent neonatal diabetes which is usually suspected in a child less than 6 months presenting with hyperglycaemia. We are reporting case of a 40 days old female child with an autosomal dominant INS gene mutation which results in permanent neonatal diabetes in infants requiring lifelong insulin therapy.
