This presentation provides an overview of atypical forms of diabetes, such as latent autoimmune diabetes of adults, immunotherapy-induced diabetes mellitus, pancreatogenic diabetes, monogenic diabetes, and diabetes in lipodystrophy syndromes. We will provide key clinical features of atypical forms of diabetes, medical evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment. We are both DCESs who work together in outpatient adult endocrinology and will provide attendees with best practice recommendations as well as share our experience with interesting cases from medical evaluation and workup to challenges we experienced with treatment and management.

Learning Objectives:

At the completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

Recognize important clinical features of atypical diabetes that prompt further evaluation and workup.
Understand key patient interview questions to include when further evaluating a patient suspected to have a form of atypical diabetes.
Develop treatment plans for adults with atypical forms of diabetes considering autoimmunity, insulin production, treatment goals and risk of complications.
