This is for our Chinese KPD's. Here's a study presently recruiting KPD's in China. Chinese KPT2D Trial One of it's big novel features is that it's recruiting both lean and obese KPD's. This isn't one of those studies showing that KPDM exists in a given population. They quite clearly know it exists. This study is meant to try and understand it.
This is one of the things I've been waiting for. Most of the research on KPD research has been done in the US and Europe even the studies done in African have mostly been carried out by Europeans. What I've been waiting for is for the third world to start picking up the research and expanding it. This is, after all, a growing problem in their countries.
Here it is buried in both bad science and a majority culture which largely ignores it. I talk to Blacks, Hispanics and Native Americans and all of them get this big surprised face when I talk about a diabetes that is prominent in peoples of color in the US.
I am especially perturbed by the advice given them by their local medical people. These people have no idea about this and so treat it just like a regular type 2, type 1 or LADA. This is probably one of the reasons DKA's have doubled in the last thirty years in the US.
Good for you China and let's hope the rest of the world gets going too.

Very interesting trend Michael. Btw, thanks for the comment under your photo. You look like Usain Bolt on that one.
ReplyDeleteA few blog readers had been telling me that my old photo was not appropriate for the blog, so I decided to use that one "making vitamin D".
I still use a more academic one on my WarpPLS blog (http://warppls.blogspot.com).
Ned, the only bolt I'm associated with is the deadbolt. I left a long rambling comment on your blog and I also want to thank you for the shout outs I get from you. A third of my hits come from your blog.
