Study suggests a third type of diabetes being misdiagnosed
Scientists analysing over 31,000 cases of adult-onset diabetes have found 559 instances linked to lesser-known Type-3c diabetes of which a majority of the cases were misdiagnosed as Type-2 diabetes. Type-3c is linked to pancreatic damage whereas the common types are Type-1, when the body destroys its own insulin-producing cells, and Type-2, when enough insulin isn't produced for sugar breakdown.
