Sottotipi di diabete atipico nelle popolazioni africane di colore

Atypical diabetes subtypes and presentations are disproportionately prevalent in populations of African and Asian ancestry. This review discusses the epidemiology, clinical presentation, aetiopathogenesis and management of four atypical diabetes subtypes commonly reported in Black African populations. These are ketosis-prone diabetes (KPD), fibrocalculous pancreatic diabetes (FCPD), type 2 diabetes in individuals without overweight or obesity, and malnutrition-related diabetes (MRD).
