🚨 BREAKING NEWS: A new form of diabetes — Type 5, has been officially recognised.
Unlike Type 1 or 2, Type 5 is caused by chronic malnutrition, especially in childhood. These individuals are often young, thin, and overlooked.
Their pancreas simply never developed enough to produce the insulin they need.
👩⚕️ As a dietitian, this is a wake-up call: nutrition in early life truly shapes health outcomes for life.
📢 Let’s raise awareness.
➡️ Share this with parents, caregivers, and educators.
