Abstract

Recently, sub-classifications for adult-onset diabetes have been presented based on cluster analysis. There are 5 exclusive subtypes, with clusters ranging from 1 to 5: severe autoimmune diabetes (SAID), severe insulin-deficient diabetes (SIDD), severe insulin-resistant diabetes (SIRD), mild obesity-related diabetes (MOD), and mild age-related diabetes (MARD), respectively. The related variables known include GAD antibody, age at diagnosis, BMI, HbA1c, and HOMA2-B and HOMA2-IR. From the Outcome Reduction with an Initial Glargine Intervention (ORIGIN) trial, the numerical numbers of the 5 subtypes are 241-1594-914-1595-2673, respectively. The prevalence percentages for the 5 subtypes in 3 countries are as follows: Japan: 5.4-19.0-7.2-28.9-39.5, Germany: 22.0-3.0-11.0-29.0-35.0, and Finland: 9.9-8.9-11.2-22.8-47.3, respectively.
