Young-Onset Diabetes in Sub-Saharan Africa: The YODA Study | D-Talk Podcast

Описание: What if millions of diabetes diagnoses around the world are missing a key piece of the puzzle?

In this powerful episode of D-Talk, host Dr. Phyllisa Deroze sits down with Dr. Jean Claude Katte to unpack the groundbreaking findings from the YODA study — research that challenges the textbook definition of type 1 diabetes in young people across sub-Saharan Africa.

Instead of the typical autoimmune markers, most young people in the region present with a distinct, non-autoimmune, insulin-deficient form of diabetes. The implications? Profound. Not only for how diabetes is diagnosed and treated in Africa — but globally, especially among people of African ancestry.
