Appendix 2
Etiologic Classification of Diabetes Mellitus
| Type 1 diabetes (including LADA form) (Beta cell destruction, usually leading to absolute insulin deficiency) A. Immune-mediated B. Idiopathic |
|
| Type 2 diabetes (May range from predominantly insulin resistance with relative insulin deficiency to a predominantly secretory defect with insulin resistance) |
|
| Gestational diabetes mellitus | |
| Other specific types | |
