The "Type 3" label has been posited for several years. Until we start recognizing the cause of symptoms currently termed diseases and treat them like metabolic diseases with control through diet, it will all be beyond recognition to the majority of people. The majority of people are informed by the experts in the broader nutritional, medical, and gasp! pharmaceutical communities.
A good example is this past Friday when I was listening to Samantha Heller, who has a nutrition and exercise program on Doctor Radio - Sirius XM, and yet another expert guest who claimed keto is a fad and not sustainable and that carbs are a necessity for a healthy lifestyle. Also, that rigorous trials with a history of people following keto are not available. Many people listening will believe that given the context of the show. Many people want to believe that keto is not sustainable and attempt to find some combination of healthy whole grains and plant-based foods (which means anything processed) to treat their situations. It's sad, but unfortunately, people aren't aware of the changes in health over the past 50 years when T2D went from a moderately uncommon disease to one that is now common and supposedly a "lifelong affliction" leading to premature death and a low-quality life. Obesity, once very uncommon as recently as the 60s and 70s, has become so commonplace that we now consider those who would have been termed "fat" years ago as normal today.
Yes, T3D has been used for a while now, and I'm not sure it's an accurate use of the term. Many of today's common symptoms are caused by metabolic dysfunction resulting in an array of health issues that include, but are not limited to, diabetes. It's a long road to successfully alert people to this dynamic, but opposing interests are not going to volunteer to spread the word; rather, they've invested in attempting to squelch the word. Vigilance is required.
