RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 When to suspect ‘funny’ diabetes JF Clinical Medicine JO Clin Med FD Royal College of Physicians SP 663 OP 666 DO 10.7861/clinmedicine.14-6-663 VO 14 IS 6 A1 Paul Grant A1 Anand Velusamy A1 Ellen Thomas A1 Ali J. Chakera YR 2014 UL http://www.rcpjournals.org/content/14/6/663.abstract AB Diabetes comes in many shapes and forms. It is important for the general physician to recognise when clinical characteristics, response to treatment and associated features suggest an alternative variety of diabetes, over and above the traditional type 1 and type 2 forms which are far more common. Key to these suspicions are taking a clear history of the development of the diabetes and being aware of the family history.
