Other forms of diabetes

Type 1 diabetes onset may be more common during adulthood than previously thought, which could increase the risk for it being misdiagnosed as type 2 diabetes.

Women with a history of gestational diabetes have a significantly increased risk for long-term mortality regardless of whether or not they subsequently developed type 2 diabetes.

Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults is associated with similar risks for mortality and cardiovascular disease and an increased risk for retinopathy compared with type 2 diabetes.

Identifying and treating women with gestational diabetes before 20 weeks’ gestation improves their pregnancy outcomes, shows the randomized TOBOGM trial.

Impaired glucose tolerance during pregnancy that does not meet the criteria for gestational diabetes nevertheless increases the likelihood that women will later develop type 2 diabetes, a study shows.

Researchers find that controlling modifiable risk factors limits the risk for developing type 2 diabetes in women with previous gestational diabetes, even if they have overweight or high genetic risk.

Research suggests that people with latent autoimmune diabetes in adults and high levels of glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies have a higher risk for cardiovascular disease than those with lower autoantibody levels.

Mutations in HNF1A and HNF4A are less likely to be associated with a diagnosis of maturity-onset diabetes of the young when discovered incidentally versus in a clinically selected cohort, research suggests.
