Are diabetes mellitus and diabetes the same?

Answer 1

mellitus is when you are insulin dependent in other words have type 1. this means that you have a desease in which your pancreas does not deliever insulin when you digest food. When you eat because the insulin in a regular person's body turns the food/sugar into energy, you need to take insulin and you yourself have to be the "pancreas". I personally have had type 1 diabets for 11 yeard. I am 14 years old and people oftern times think that i have type 2 Diabetes becasue people arn't fully aware of type 1 and people are confused because i weigh 118 pounds. People with type 2 diabetes are most ofern old, but there are cases when children who eat and are over weight that have type 2.

summary: diabetes mellitus=type 1= insulin dependent

diabetes=overweight take inslulin because they don't make engough because they are over weight,.

hope this helps

Answer 2

Yes diabetes mellitus and diabetes are different because diabetes mellitus occure due to imbalance between insulin availability and insulin need which cause disturbance in glucose metabolim while diabetes may be due to low absorption of glucose or due to high absorption of iron due to genetic disorder.

Answer 3

The main difference between diabetes dellitus and mellitus is that diabetes mellitus is more commonly referred to as type 1 diabetes where an individual is required to take insulin. Diabetes dellitus is type 2 diabetes where a person can control their diabetes through diet and exercise.

Answer 4

Diabetes and diabetes mellitus are the exact same disorder, with diabetes mellitus or DM being the full name, while most people refer to the disease simply as diabetes. Either form is completely acceptable, the only important differentiation is whether it is type 1 DM (inability of the body to produce insulin) or type 2 DM (where the body does insulin inefficiently).
