== Ketosis prone diabetes ==
The entity of ketosis-prone type 2 diabetes was first fully described in 1987 after several preceding case reports. It was initially thought to be a form of [[maturity onset diabetes of the young]],<ref>{{cite journal |vauthors=Winter WE, Maclaren NK, Riley WJ, Clarke DW, Kappy MS, Spillar RP |date=February 1987 |title=Maturity-onset diabetes of youth in black Americans |journal=The New England Journal of Medicine |volume=316 |issue=6 |pages=285–291 |doi=10.1056/NEJM198702053160601 |pmid=3543673}}</ref> and went through several other descriptive names (such as "idiopathic type 1 diabetes", "Flatbush diabetes", "atypical diabetes" and "type 1.5 diabetes") before the current terminology of "ketosis-prone type 2 diabetes" was adopted.<ref name="ADA2009" /><ref name="Umpierrez2006" />
