The outdated designations of type 1 diabetes as “juvenile-onset diabetes” and type 2 diabetes as “adult-onset diabetes” reflect the incorrect categorical paradigm that has hindered the ability of clinicians to correctly diagnose outlier cases, causing unnecessary delays in instituting the appropriate therapy. The age-based distinction between the two most common forms of diabetes has become increasingly blurred, as type 2 diabetes becomes more frequent at younger ages and autoimmune diabetes in adulthood is better recognised.
