Errors in the diagnosis of types of diabetes mellitus: causes and prevention strategies (literature review and own research results) by K.I. Gerush, N.V. Pashkovska, O.Z. Ukrainets

“…This is due to the increasing heterogeneity of DM, blurring of the boundaries between its types, atypical disease course, the decreased diagnostic value of the essential criteria for DM types (age, presence of metabolic syndrome signs, ketosis, dependency on insulin therapy), presence of comorbid conditions, and limited availability of diagnostic tests to specify the type of diabetes. To optimize diagnosis and prevent diagnostic errors, we have developed a Telegram bot DiaType based on a multilevel algorithm for the differential diagnosis of various types of DM. …”
