Disciplined clinical phenotyping prevents diabetes misclassification to guide mechanism-appropriate therapy in resource-limited settings.
Highlights the importance of clinical inference and careful phenotyping to correctly classify and treat diabetes in resource-limited environments.
Recent refinements to diabetes classification frameworks have inadvertently complicated the diagnostic process, particularly in resource‐limited settings. This case demonstrates that meticulous phenotyping, judicious selection of feasible investigations, and disciplined clinical inference are essential to avoid misclassification and deliver timely, mechanism‐appropriate therapy.
