Abstract
Introduction and Objective: Despite continued interest in type 2 diabetes subtypes, the challenge of uncertainty in the classification of individuals into subtypes remains. This study introduces a novel method for quantifying and adjusting for classification uncertainty in type 2 diabetes subtypes. Methods: Building on recommendations from the ADA/EASD Precision Medicine in Diabetes Initiative, we quantified individual classification uncertainty using the normalized relative entropy (NRE), computed from distances to cluster centroids. A lower NRE value indicates greater uncertainty. We examined the NRE of 859 individuals with recent-onset type 2 diabetes from the German Diabetes Study (GDS) and compared it across previously identified diabetes subtypes, defined by age, BMI, HbA1c, HOMA-IR, and HOMA-B. Predicted 10-year cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk (SCORE2-Diabetes) of the subtypes was evaluated with and without adjustment for classification uncertainty. Results: The median NRE of individuals with type 2 diabetes (age 54±10 years, BMI 31.6±6.2 kg/m2, HbA1c 6.4±0.9%) was 0.127 (95% CI: 0.119-0.135). Individuals with mild age-related diabetes (n=395) and mild obesity-related diabetes (n=316) had a median NRE of 0.155 (95% CI: 0.142-0.177) and 0.119 (95% CI: 0.107-0.131). By contrast, individuals with severe insulin-resistant diabetes (n=130) and severe insulin-deficient diabetes (n=18) had a lower median NRE of 0.086 (95% CI: 0.075-0.108) and 0.082 (95% CI: 0.071-0.109). After adjustment, the proportion of variation in SCORE2-diabetes explained by the subtypes (R2) increased from 17.4% (95% CI: 12.8-23.0) to 31.5% (95% CI: 26.4-37.1).

期刊介绍:
Diabetes is a scientific journal that publishes original research exploring the physiological and pathophysiological aspects of diabetes mellitus. We encourage submissions of manuscripts pertaining to laboratory, animal, or human research, covering a wide range of topics. Our primary focus is on investigative reports investigating various aspects such as the development and progression of diabetes, along with its associated complications. We also welcome studies delving into normal and pathological pancreatic islet function and intermediary metabolism, as well as exploring the mechanisms of drug and hormone action from a pharmacological perspective. Additionally, we encourage submissions that delve into the biochemical and molecular aspects of both normal and abnormal biological processes.
However, it is important to note that we do not publish studies relating to diabetes education or the application of accepted therapeutic and diagnostic approaches to patients with diabetes mellitus. Our aim is to provide a platform for research that contributes to advancing our understanding of the underlying mechanisms and processes of diabetes.
