Description
Summary:Abstract The diagnostic criteria for slowly progressive type 1 diabetes (slowly progressive insulin‐dependent diabetes mellitus; SPIDDM) have been revised by the Committee on Type 1 Diabetes of the Japan Diabetes Society. All of the following three criteria must be met for ‘a definitive diagnosis of SPIDDM’: (1) presence of anti‐islet autoantibodies at some point in time during the disease course; (2) absence of ketosis or ketoacidosis at the diagnosis of diabetes with no requirement for insulin treatment to correct hyperglycemia immediately after diagnosis in principle; and (3) gradual decrease of insulin secretion over time, with insulin treatment required at more than 3 months after diagnosis, and the presence of severe endogenous insulin deficiency (fasting serum C‐peptide immunoreactivity <0.6 ng/mL) at the last observed point in time. When a patient fulfills only (1) and (2), but not (3), he/she is diagnosed with ‘SPIDDM (probable)’ because the diabetes is non‐insulin‐dependent type.
