[Type 1 or 2 diabetes? Or other?].
Practitioners can be faced with cases of diabetes that do not clearly correspond to the clinical characteristics of type 1 or type 2 diabetes. They should take into account forms of diabetes such as MODY or LADA, which often go unrecognised in spite of significant prevalence. Various tests can be conducted to measure insulin secretion and resistance, and to check whether the disease is auto-immune. This makes for correct diagnosis and prescription of the appropriate course of treatment.
