  ABSTRACT: Immune checkpoint inhibitors are today an immense hope in the management of cancers. However, since their widespread use, many cases of insulin-requiring diabetes appearing suddenly, as fulminant diabetes have been reported. Here, we describe 4 cases that occurred at different times after the beginning of immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy with Nivolumab alone or associated with Ipilimumab. There are 3 cases of newly diagnosed diabetes and 1 case of known type 2 diabetes formerly quite well balanced with Metformin. The clinical and biological characteristics of these patients are quite similar. They were all insulin-requiring at the discovery of diabetes and remained so throughout their follow-up. This type of diabetes which looks like type 1 diabetes seems rather to be a new entity.
