Atypical Diabetes: Ketosis Prone, LADA, MODY, and Pancreatogenic

Session Description: "Atypical" forms of diabetes need to be recognized and diagnosed because the underlying mechanisms differ from "usual" type 2 diabetes, and management must be tailored to the underlying diabetes type in order to achieve glycemic control safely and effectively. Cases will be presented and discussed in this session to highlight potential pitfalls in diagnosis, and important pearls for management.
