ABSTRACT
Diabetic retinopathy is the most specific complication related to diabetes. The position statement about diabetic retinopathy postulates that initial retinal exanimation should be performed within 5 years after the initial diagnosis. We report the case of a 26 years old type 1 diabetic woman with a severe non proliferative diabetic retinopathy discovered 10 months after the onset of clinical diabetes, The hypothesis of a Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in adults [LADA] seems to he plausible. This case report indicates again that a severe form of diabetic retinopathy can occur at the onset of type 1 diabetes and suggests that systematic ophthalmic examination should be performed at the onset of type 1 diabetes
