“…76 The differential diagnosis of childhood or adolescent diabetes includes classic type 1 diabetes, maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY), typical type 2 diabetes, and the atypical diabetes seen in African Americans. [77][78][79][80] Typical type 1 diabetes is associated with islet cell autoantibodies and often presents with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Classic MODY occurs predominantly in white youth, under the age of 25 years.…”

African Americans have a high risk for type 2 diabetes. Genetic traits, the prevalence of obesity, and insulin resistance all contribute to the risk of diabetes in the African American community. African Americans have a high rate of diabetic complications, because of poor glycaemic control and racial disparities in health care in the USA. African Americans with diabetes may have an atypical presentation that simulates type 1 diabetes, but then their subsequent clinical course is typical of type 2 diabetes. Culturally sensitive strategies, structured disease management protocols, and the assistance of nurses, diabetic educators, and other health care professionals are effective in improving the outcome of diabetes in the African American community.

“…In fact, data from UK compared BMI at T1DM diagnosis with age at diagnosis in South Asian and white children and did not find significant differences. The authors concluded that BMI could be too crude as indicator of insulin resistance, and that other specific indicators should be considered [178].…”

“…The first group is the classic type 1 diabetes (T1DM), a T‐cell‐mediated autoimmune disease resulting from a selective destruction of the pancreatic insulin‐producing β‐cells [3]. T1DM is the commonest cause of diabetes mellitus in children, accounting for over 95% of cases [4]. The disease ultimately results from a combination of genetic predisposition and a number of largely unknown environmental factors.…”
