Insulin Autoimmune Syndrome (IAS) is a rare disease characterized by hypoglycemia and autoantibodies to insulin without prior insulin administration. Here, we report a case of IAS associated with alpha lipoic acid (ALA). The patient is a 55-year-old man. He began to complain of hypoglycemic symptoms after taking ALA. He lost consciousness in the late postprandial period and blood glucose was found to be 27 mg/dl. A high insulin level and high titers of insulin antibodies were detected. His HLA genotype contains DRB1* 0406. As ALA comes to be used widely, the incidence of IAS due to ALA might increase.
