I couldn't see any other thread on this subject.
A report has come out that says there are five categories of diabetes, and not types 1 & 2.
For me this is interesting, as I know of several people who are affected by this serious disease, and it gives me more of an insight to an understanding of the way people have to deal with it.
I guess there are people on NSC who have to deal with this, and also know of people who have it.
We identified five replicable clusters of patients with diabetes, which had significantly different patient characteristics and risk of diabetic complications. In particular, individuals in cluster 3 (most resistant to insulin) had significantly higher risk of diabetic kidney disease than individuals in clusters 4 and 5, but had been prescribed similar diabetes treatment. Cluster 2 (insulin deficient) had the highest risk of retinopathy. In support of the clustering, genetic associations in the clusters differed from those seen in traditional type 2 diabetes.
