S30 - Monogenic and Atypical Diabetes - Precision Medicine in Practice

Monogenic and atypical forms of diabetes are clinically meaningful diagnoses. Monogenic diabetes is caused by genetic abnormalities that are sufficiently damaging and thus cause hyperglycemia. This can be suspected based on clinical features and must be confirmed by genetic testing, which may then result insignificant treatment changes, more tailored ancillary testing, and recurrence risk information for family members. Atypical forms of diabetes are a heterogeneous group of disorders that includes conditions such as ketosis-prone diabetes and lean type 2 diabetes. Identifying an atypical form of diabetes may also help guide treatment and follow-up care. This presentation will provide practical case examples, tips, and resources for diabetes care and education specialists on identifying these forms of diabetes in their practice.
