Misclassification of Diabetes Mellitus in Resource‐Limited Settings: A Case Study and Clinical Review

This case demonstrates that meticulous phenotyping, judicious selection of feasible investigations, and disciplined clinical inference are essential to avoid misclassification and deliver timely, mechanism‐appropriate therapy.
