The 2026 Consensus Statement on Diabetes Classification in Adults (Episode 2)

In this episode, we review the 2026 Consensus Statement on Diabetes Classification in Adults. Topics include diagnostic criteria for diabetes, distinguishing type 2 diabetes from autoimmune, pancreatogenic, monogenic, endocrinopathy associated, and medication induced diabetes, and the role of phenotype, autoantibody testing, and C-peptide measurement in establishing the correct diagnosis. We also discuss key clinical features that should prompt reconsideration of a diabetes diagnosis and how accurate classification can guide appropriate treatment selection and improve patient outcomes.
