The International Diabetes Federation has officially recognized a fifth type of diabetes—Type 5 Diabetes—and it’s a major breakthrough for millions of people worldwide. 🙌

🔎 What makes Type 5 different?

Unlike Type 1 (autoimmune) or Type 2 (lifestyle-related), Type 5 is linked to malnutrition in early life. It’s mostly seen in underweight individuals who can’t produce enough insulin—not because of autoimmunity or insulin resistance, but because their pancreas didn’t fully develop due to poor nutrition during childhood.

🧠 Why this matters:

➡️ An estimated 20–25 million people may have been living with this type, especially in lower-income countries.

➡️ Many were misdiagnosed or treated incorrectly.

➡️ Recognition means better diagnosis, tailored treatment, and more focused research to improve care for the most vulnerable.

This is more than just a new label—it’s a powerful step toward health equity and smarter, more compassionate care for all.
