Diabetes among individuals with low BMI (<19 kg/m2) has been recognized for >60 years as a prevalent entity in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and was formally classified as "malnutrition-related diabetes mellitus" by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1985. Since the WHO withdrew this category in 1999, our objective was to define the metabolic characteristics of these individuals to establish that this is a distinct form of diabetes.
