Diabetes type 2 is an?
Diabetes Mellitus type 2(Non-Insulin dependent diabetes mellitus): The body fails to make enough insulin or insulin cannot work even if it makes enough insulin. It usually affects people over the age of 30 - and is mainly due to heredity - which is still the main cause of the disease - which affects 250 million people worldwide - especially in those who are overweight and do not exercise.commonly seen in South Asian and African-Calabrian places, when it shows people over 25.That's why insulin is usually not needed in the treatment of insulin-dependent diabetes. In this case, a slight change in eating habits, exercise or walking plays a greater role in the control of diabetes, so the increase or decrease of the disease depends on your wishes. However, when the disease attacks in a severe form, many people can go to type 1. More read : Type 2 diabetes mellitus or non insulin dependent diabetes mellitus

What are all the names for diabetes type 1?
There are four main types of diabetes mellitus: type 1, type 2, gestational, and mixed diabetes, but there are a number of older names associated with each of these types. Diabetes insipidus is an uncommon condition that's not related to diabetes mellitus at all. However, it's also associated with a large urine output when the disease is poorly controlled. Type 1 diabetes used to be called "juvenile diabetes." That's because it's usually diagnosed in people under the age of 40. It's also been called "insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus" (IDDM). Only 5-10% of all diabetics are type 1, and this type of diabetes is often more difficult to treat than the other types of diabetes. It cannot be cured, nor can it be managed by diet, exercise, or medication. People who have this type of diabetes do not make any of their own insulin. Their own bodies have attacked and killed the cells in the pancreas which produce insulin, so this type of diabetes is tested by checking whether a person has the antibodies for these cells. People with type 1 diabetes have to take insulin shots or use a pump, which puts insulin in their body through a small plastic tube that they put in like a shot into their stromach, leg or bottom and change every three days. Without insulin, these people would die. Type 2 diabetes is more common than type 1 but it's also a serious condition.. It's also called adult-onset diabetes, because most people diagnosed with this disease used to be older than 40. That's changing now, as children and adolescents are being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in ever-increasing rates. Type 2 diabetes has also been called "obesity-related diabetes," "insulin-resistent diabetes," and "non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus" or NIDDM. Risk factors for this disease are obesity and inactivity, but people who are neither overweight or inactive are sometimes diagnosed with this type of diabetes. People with this diabetes have a pancreas that makes insulin, but their body's cells don't use it properly. This type of diabetes can often be controlled with diet, exercise, and if needed, medication. Some people with this type of diabetes, though, need to monitor their glucose very carefully and take insulin shots, just like people with type 1 do. A third type of diabetes is called gestational diabetes. It is found in some non-diabetic pregnant women, and all pregnant women in the United States are tested for this condition. Like type-2 diabetes, it can be controlled with diet and exercise, and it often ends when the pregnancy does. However, people who have had gestational diabetes are at greater risk for developing type 2 diabetes. The final type of diabetes mellitus is called "hybrid" or "mixed" diabetes. It's also sometimes called "double diabetes," though it's not twice as dangerous as type 1 or type 2 diabetes. People with this type of diabetes have both insulin resistance and antibodies against insulin-producing cells. They are sometimes treated with diet, exercise, and medication, and sometimes with that and insulin injections. Diabetes insipidus is caused by a lack of the hormone ADH, also called vasopressin, which helps the kidneys conserve water when they filter blood. People with this disease have to always be alert for dehydration and make sure to drink enough fluids. Some people are prescribed vasopressin as a pill or in a nasal spray. Often diabetes insipidus is caused by another underlying condition which needs to be treated with medication. Hope this answers your question!
How is Pyorrhea linked to Diabetes Type 1?
Pyorrhea, or periodontal disease, is only related to Type 1 Diabetes, and is not directly linked to it being the cause of Type 1 Diabetes or vice versa. Periodontal disease is only related to Type 1 Diabetes in the sense that a study showed that Type 1 Diabetics showed deeper periodontal pockets and more periodontal attachment loss as opposed to non-diabetics. Those traits are the most common on patients with Pyorrhea, or periodontal disease. These symptoms of periodontal disease seem to appear among Type 1 Diabetics because some Type 1 Diabetics do not have very great metabolic control, which could lead to higher susceptibility and a greater sign of symptoms in Type 1 Diabetics. Type 1 Diabetics do not have these symptoms, but rather have a greater appearance of what a symptom is close to and thus have a higher susceptibility to Pyorrhea.

What is diabetes millitus?
Diabetes mellitus, or simply, diabetes, is a disease that damages the body when the blood glucose (sugar) is allowed to remain too high for too many years.Major Types of DiabetesThere are several major types of diabetes: Type 1 diabetes is the form that used to be called juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes. It starts most often in childhood. The patient has an absolute need for the hormone insulin, since his pancreas, the organ that makes insulin, can no longer do so. The insulin is usually given by injection and must be balanced by food intake in order to keep the blood glucose as normal as possible.Type 2 diabetes is the form that used to be called adult-onset diabetes. It is a lifestyle disease, resulting from excessive weight gain and lack of exercise. The patient does not lack insulin, but has insensitivity to his own body's insulin. Treatment is started with diet and exercise but may ultimately require pills or insulin.Gestational diabetes is the form that occurs in pregnancy when the hormones of pregnancy overwhelm the body's insulin so that the blood glucose rises. It can cause problems with the growing fetus who tends to grow large and have a difficult delivery. Gestational diabetes can also become type 2 diabetes later in life.Diagnosis of DiabetesThe diagnosis of all types of diabetes is made when the blood glucose in the overnight fasting state is 126 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl) or higher on more than one occasion. The diagnosis may also be made if the blood glucose after eating rises to 200 mg/dl or higher on more than one occasion. Recently the finding of a level of 6.5 percent or greater in a blood test called a hemoglobin A1c has been added to the recommended way of making a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. The different types of diabetes share many features once the diagnosis is made. The drugs are powerful and some may reduce the level of blood glucose to the point that the blood glucose of the patient becomes low, usually less than 65 mg/dl. This state is called hypoglycemia and results in hunger, sweating, a rapid heartbeat, confusion and even coma. It is treated by giving the patient glucose.ComplicationsIf the blood glucose is allowed to remain high, usually greater than 180 mg/dl over ten years or more, the patient with any form of diabetes may develop one or all of the following complications: Eye disease which may lead to blindnessKidney disease which may lead to kidney failureNerve disease which may lead to loss of sensation in parts of the body, especially the feet, or to loss of movement in one or more musclesHearts and blood vessel disease, which may lead to a heart attack, a stroke or loss of blood supply to the legs and feetTreatmentNone of these complications need ever occur with proper management of the diabetes. The tools that will keep the blood glucose in a range that prevents complications of diabetes are available today and with the help of a diabetes team consisting of a doctor, a diabetes educator, a dietitian, an eye doctor and other specialists as needed, the person with diabetes may live a long, quality life.
Why is there increase in urination in diabetes mellitus?
Diabetes mellitus is an inadequate secretion of insulin, causing blood sugar levels to rise. Excess glucose remains in the nephron creating an osmotic pressure that opposes the norm. Therefore water also remains in the nephron and is not absorbed. -Patients of diabetes mellitus ofen suffer from large amounts of urine and are often thirsty.

Can type 2 diabetes be inherited?
Yes and no. If you exercise and stay in healthy weight, you will most likely not be inherited. However, the risk factors are inherited, because if you are overweight and do no exercise, you may be at risk for getting type 2 diabetes more than a regular person only if type 2 diabetes runs in the family.
What are results of rheumatoid titer?
The titer does not correlate with the activity of RA, but patients with high titer rheumatoid factor are more likely to have erosive joint disease, extra articular manifestations,as well as greater functional disability.Patients that have RA are checked for this as it gives more of an indication of the posiblefuture severity of the disease.
Who can get heart disease?
The greatest risk factor for heart disease is heredity (family history). Obesity and diabetes also puts one at greater risk. Smoking cigarettes is a very significant risk factor, as well. Diets high in saturated fats, cholesterol, sweets, and processed foods promote heart disease. Stimulants, such as caffeine and amphetamine type compounds, as well as cocaine, place the heart at greater risk, too. Almost everyone carries some risk factors for heart disease. The task, for each individual, is to minimize one's risk factors as much as possible.
