Diabetes can be divided into 5 subtypes, suggest scientists

Have you heard of type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes, right? But what if we told you that there is a theory that there are five subtypes of the disease?

This is the classification suggested by a group of researchers from Sweden and Finland and was developed by collecting data from 15,000 patients collected in five large studies in these countries and published in the scientific journal The Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology.

Know the new subtypes of diabetes

For scientists, there are 5 major groups, three more severe and two milder. One of them corresponds to the already classified type 1 diabetes. While the others are subdivisions of type 2 diabetes. See below:

1. People with severe autoimmune diabetes who appear when these people are young. It is an attack of the immune system that prevents them from producing insulin (ie, type 1 diabetes).

2. Young people with a severe insulin deficiency, who initially resemble group 1 (healthy weight and young people), but non-production of insulin is not linked to the immune system.

3. People with severe insulin resistance, overweight and who produce the hormone, but the body does not respond as well to it.

4. Fewer cases of diabetes that are linked to being overweight, ie occurs in overweight people but whose metabolism is closer to normal than the people in group 3.

5. Patient age-related, less patient cases that develop symptoms when they are older and less severe.

Consequence of this new division

The idea of ​​the specialists, suggesting this new classification, is to improve not only the diagnosis of patients, but also the

This is the first step towards more focused treatments for diabetes.
