AB  - Diabetes mellitus is a common condition which all clinicians will encounter in their clinical practice. The most common form is type 2 diabetes followed by type 1 diabetes. However, there are many other atypical forms of diabetes which are important for a clinician to consider as it can impact on the diagnosis and their management.This article focuses on maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY), latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA), ketosis-prone diabetes and other secondary forms of diabetes such as pancreatic cancer and haemochromatosis. We briefly describe the key clinical features of these forms of diabetes and their investigations and treatment.
