Various classification methods for diabetes mellitus in the management of blood glucose control.

In the era of precision medicine, the classification of diabetes mellitus has evolved beyond the traditional categories. Various classification methods now account for a multitude of factors, including variations in specific genes, type of β-cell impairment, degree of insulin resistance, and clinical characteristics of metabolic profiles. Improved classification methods enable healthcare providers to formulate blood glucose management strategies more precisely. Applying these updated classification systems, will assist clinicians in further optimising treatment plans, including targeted drug therapies, personalized dietary advice, and specific exercise plans. Ultimately, this will facilitate stricter blood glucose control, minimize the risks of hypoglycaemia and hyperglycaemia, and reduce long-term complications associated with diabetes.
