Ketosis-prone diabetes or KPD is an intermediate form of diabetes that has some characteristics of type 1 and some of type 2 diabetes. However, it is distinct from latent autoimmune diabetes, a form of type 1 sometimes referred to as type 1.5.
KPD is readily diagnosible because it presents a single characteristic, ketoacidosis, which if present, confirms it as ketosis-prone diabetes. KPD comes in four forms depending upon the presence or absence of ?-cell autoantibodies (A+ or A-) and ?-cell functional reserve (?+ or ?-).
