This document classifies genetic diabetes mellitus into 5 categories based on abnormalities in carbohydrate metabolism:
1. Overt diabetes, which is frank diabetes with fasting hyperglycemia and potential symptoms.
2. Chemical or latent diabetes, which is asymptomatic with occasionally elevated fasting or postprandial blood glucose.
3. Suspected diabetes, where temporary carbohydrate intolerance occurs during stress and requires long-term evaluation, such as during pregnancy.
4. Prediabetes, which is the period prior to the onset of identifiable diabetes where impaired glucose tolerance could develop due to genetic predisposition.
5. Secondary causes, such as medications, infections, or endocrine disorders, which can induce temporary
