Description
Suvarna Patil and co-authors sort pre-diabetes in rural teenage girls in India into distinct subtypes. Their study appeared in 2026. The girls belong to a long-running cohort in the Konkan region, where undernutrition is common. Of 1,382 girls, nearly 59 percent were thin, yet about 40 percent already had pre-diabetes. The team measured body size, body fat, blood sugar, and insulin, then grouped the girls by computer clustering.
Five clusters emerged, each with its own mix of body shape and blood measures. The subtypes differ in how the body handles insulin and how much the insulin-making cells compensate. Sorting pre-diabetes this way may help target prevention: thin girls with blood sugar problems may need different help than heavier girls. The work shows that pre-diabetes is not one condition, even within a single poor rural population.
