I'm irked that the ADA only recognizes three types of diabetes...
(1) postoperative or pancreatic or pancreatogenic diabetes (diabetes occurring after a pancreatic resection was performed, such as the Berger, Frey, or Whipple type of operations) and
(2) type 1.5 (latent autoimmune diabetes of adulthood).
I understand that type 1.5 shows up after age twenty-five, starts out acting like type 2 diabetes, and it can be difficult to diagnose as it can occur in slender people who eat healthy foods and exercise regularly. Further, I had a resection operation to correct problems resulting from pancreatitis.
This is a vent as I unsuccessfully sought info from the ADA.

okay.. i have to jump in because you guys have it ALL WRONG!
A Type 1 has very low to none of C-Peptide with Antibodies
A Type 2 has normal C-Peptide no Antibodies
Gestational is pregnancy induced
ALL OTHERS ARE OTHERS.
Pancreatitis induced diabetes is Type: Other, not Type 1.5, Type 1.5 is Adult Onset AutoImmune Type 1 - Read the WHO document here: http://www.aafp.org/afp/981015ap/mayfield.html
