Diabetes mellitus.
The scientific name for diabetes is diabetes mellitus.
No there is not vector involved in Diabetes mellitus.
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is what they formerly call the Non-insulin dependent Diabetes. This is the inherited type of diabetes. This is the diabetes that is usually managed with Oral Hyperglycemic medications and usually does not need insulin but depends on the situation.
Diabetes Mellitus
The prefix for mellitus is "hyper-".
A person with diabetes mellitus either does not make enough insulin, or makes insulin that does not work properly. The result is blood sugar that remains high.
Not all diabetes is called mellitus. Another is called diabetes insipidus. The first is called that because the urine has sugar in it and it tastes sweet. (I know, that sounds awful. But people used to taste urine). And the second has no sweet taste. Insipid means without taste.
pathophysiology of diabetes mellitus type 2
Diabetes mellitus is caused by an absolute or relative lack of insulin.
Diabetes is a disease related to the hormone insulin, but it is the hormone which affects the disease, not the disease which affects the hormone.
There are a number of diets that are aimed at people with Diabetes. I would recommend the Diabetes Mellitus Diet. http://www.diabetesdietsupport.com/diabetes-mellitus-diet.htm
