wow - diabetes gets weirder and weirder the more they loook into it.

The earliest reference I can find to it is 2005 in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease - http://iospress.metapress.com/content/qunmpv4q3w77e5vm/

I'm not sure it's all that useful of them to call it 'type 3' coz it's so different. But I can see why they want to be the first to give a name to a 'new kind' of diabetes.
 
My granny died in 1947 aged 48. Her death certificate lists epilepsy and diabetes and she was admitted to an insane asylum. Noone in the family has epilepsy, so I don't think she had that. All 4 sons got type 2 diabetes (all but my dad reached their 80's). So I reckon her diabetes affected her brain and maybe type 3 is not a 'new' diabetes.
 
Incidentally, there doesn't have to be a family link / history for someone suffer with epilepsy.

The articles do make interesting reading.

Tell me about it.

From Pre- Diabetes in Dec with likely progression to Type 2 in 'later years' to Type 2 Diabetes in March.
I'm going to get insulin tests in a couple of weeks e.g C Peptide and I've also been referred to a Geneticist for further tests as well as insulin test. This is because I'm considered slim and at 34, too young for Type 2 (both my parents are Type 2 diagnosed in their 50s and overweight.)
