Abstract
It is important to see that, with the passing of time and the accelerated growth of knowledge hand in hand with technology, a world interrelated by communications, knowledge is being consolidated, questioning and improving concepts in favor of the human being, in such a way that subgroups are proposed in the classification of diabetes. These subgroups show clinically different patterns, with comorbidities, disease progression, complications and higher risk of cardiovascular, renal and fatty liver diseases. It is posited, of course, that each individual falls at a point on the spectrum of phenotypic variation, determined by their genetics and non-genetic admixture, which represents their metabolic health and diabetes status. In the narrative review carried out by Dr. Matta Herrera and Dr. Mendoza-Fuentes, in this edition of the journal, the importance of an adequate classification was emphasized, in order to give more precision in treatments and, with this, prevention of complications and reduction of costs was proposed.
