A newly recognised form of diabetes—Type 5 diabetes—was officially announced at the World Congress of Diabetes 2025 in Bangkok by Prof Peter Schwarz, President of the International Diabetes Federation. Distinct from Type 1 and Type 2, Type 5 diabetes primarily affects underweight individuals who have no family history of diabetes and display atypical symptoms
Unlike Type 2 diabetes, which involves insulin resistance, those with Type 5 are insulin deficient but not insulin resistant, indicating a fundamentally different physiological profile.
Condition was first observed in the 1960s in Jamaica and referred to as J-type diabetes
It was recognised by the World Health Organization in 1985 but removed from classification in 1998 due to insufficient evidence.
