What are the classifications of being diabetic?
The principal two idiopathic forms of diabetes mellitus are known as types 1 and 2. The term "type�1 diabetes" has universally replaced several former terms, including childhood-onset diabetes, juvenile diabetes, and insulin-dependent diabetes. Likewise, the term "type�2 diabetes" has replaced several former terms, including adult-onset diabetes, obesity-related diabetes, and non-insulin-dependent diabetes. Beyond these two types, there is no agreed-upon standard nomenclature. Various sources have defined "type 3 diabetes" as, among others, gestational diabetes, insulin-resistant type�1 diabetes (or "double diabetes"), type�2 diabetes which has progressed to require injected insulin, and latent autoimmune diabetes of adults. There is also maturity onset diabetes of the young which is a group of several single gene (monogenic) disorders with strong family histories that present as type�2 diabetes before 30 years of age.
List the cardinal symptoms of diabetes mellitus?
Diabetes Mellitus comes in two common forms, Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (or Type 1 Diabetes) and Non-Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitues (Type 2 Diabetes). (There is also Gestational Diabetes which occurs during pregnancy). Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease mainly found in children. In this type of diabetes the child's immune system attacks insulin producing cells found in the pancreas. Insulin is a hormone that raises blood sugar. Type 2 diabetes is due to diet and age. This form of diabetes is traditionally found in older individuals, but we often hear about the rise of diabetes in younger people. In this case the body is worn down and organs, especially the pancreas and liver, are not able to regulate blood sugar as effectively. The symptoms of both forms of diabetes are the same. The person will experience excessive thirst and hunger, weight loss, frequent urination, and fatigue. The excessive thirst is due to dehydration. The blood glucose (sugar) is increased and the individual will have a high amount of glucose in their urine (giving it a sweet smell) causing them to loose more water. Glucose in the urine can also cause more bladder infections. Due to the high amounts of blood sugar they may experience blurry vision and lethargy.
