1. We have presented a detailed clinical report of a case of schizophrenia associated with a true diabetes mellitus.
2. Analysis of the literature and clinical experience reveals such a combination to be extremely rare, our case being but the second definitive one recorded.
3. We have commented briefly on the psychosomatic and constitutional significance of this clinical combination of diseases.
