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 ...
Ketosis-prone diabetes (KPD) is an intermediate form of diabetes that has some characteristics of type 1 and some of type 2 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes involves autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells which create insulin.
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.

In 2002, Sobngwi et al. introduced the term “ketosis-prone diabetes” in a review of diabetes in West Africans. Ketosis-prone diabetes, also known as “Flatbush Diabetes”, has pathophysiology close to that of T2DM but initially exhibits signs and symptoms of T1DM ( 4 ).
2 paź 2018 · This review summarizes the main clinical and mechanistic studies to improve the understanding of ketosis-prone (Flatbush) diabetes. Recent findings: Little data are available on the magnitude of KPD in the different susceptible populations. It is relatively common in black populations.
