Ketone-prone diabetes or Flatbush diabetes is being increasingly recognized worldwide. It is typically seen in obese middle-aged men with a family history of Type 2 DM. Atypicality in the onset of age and gender variation is increasingly observed worldwide.
2 paź 2018 · Major questions remain as to its pathogenesis and whether it is a unique type of diabetes or a subset of more severe type 2 diabetes with greater loss of insulin action in target tissues. This review summarizes the main clinical and mechanistic studies to improve the understanding of ketosis-prone (Flatbush) diabetes.
22 sie 2023 · Ketosis-prone diabetes (KPD) comprises a group of diabetes syndromes characterized by severe beta cell dysfunction (manifested by presentation with DKA or unprovoked ketosis) and a variable clinical course.
24 sty 2022 · Ketosis-prone type 2 diabetes mellitus also known as atypical or flatbush diabetes is being increasingly recognised worldwide. These patients are typically obese, middle-aged men with a strong...
The term “Flatbush” Diabetes was first applied to the African Americans residing in the ethnically diverse, Brooklyn, New York neighborhood of Flatbush, who presented in DKA at the time of their diabetes diagnosis.
