Now, researchers at UAB have developed a web tool to help clinicians easily identify their patients' diabetes subtypes.
DiaClue launched in March 2026 and is available as a free web app at diaclue.com.
The app prompts clinicians to enter patient data for six established parameters that doctors commonly assess for diabetes: GAD antibodies, HbA1c, body mass index, age, glucose and C-peptide.
Based on the data entered, the app provides the subtype the patient falls into within a percentage.
With this tool, researchers hope to educate and drive awareness among primary care physicians, who are usually the first to diagnose patients with diabetes.
Overall, researchers see DiaClue as another step forward in a precision medicine approach to treating diabetes, understanding the nuances of the disease and finding ways to personalize care for the nearly 600,000 Alabamians living with diabetes.
