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%.
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.
