Type 1 diabetes is characterized by the autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells, which leads to absolute insulin deficiency. Diabetic ketoacidosis is considered a cardinal feature of type 1 diabetes. A number of studies have demonstrated that diabetic ketoacidosis also occurs in subjects with type 2 diabetes. Such patients are classified as idiopathic type 1 diabetes, type 1B diabetes, Flatbush diabetes or ketosis-prone type 2 diabetes. The aim of our study was to present two patients, who were diagnosed with ketosis-prone type 2 DM, as well as to discuss the subject in the light of the extant literature and to be able to make general recommendations.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessFlatbush diabetesProne to ketosisClassification of diabetes mellitusScience & technologyLife sciences & biomedicineEndocrinology & metabolismReview0002172987000045659133
