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.
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.
KPD, commonly known as “Flatbush Diabetes”, refers to a hybrid form of diabetes that has various characteristics of type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is caused by the autoimmune loss of insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas.
Ketosis-prone diabetes, also known as “Flatbush Diabetes”, has pathophysiology close to that of T2DM but initially exhibits signs and symptoms of T1DM . Patients with KPD frequently present with elevated levels of glucose of 500 -700 mg/dL, high levels of ketone, and hemoglobin A 1 C ranging from 12% to 14%.
8 sty 2013 · 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 family history of type 2 diabetes.
