Atypical Diabetes: What Have We Learned and What Does the Future Hold?

What is it about?

Our understanding of diabetes is changing. We now know that many people have a kind of diabetes that doesn't perfectly match the profile of type 1 or type 2 diabetes. We've found different forms of "Atypical Diabetes" that have taught us a lot about how our bodies produce insulin and deal with sugar, and how some immune reactions occur. Because of these findings, we're now looking to classify diabetes in more specific ways based on certain characteristics. In this article, we talk about these unusual types of diabetes and what we've learned from studying them in depth. This will help doctors better diagnose and treat people with these atypical forms of diabetes. We also share useful tools for doctors to help identify and learn more about these conditions.
