Following are some causes of Diabetes:

a) Metabolic syndrome - a syndrome with 4 key features (diabetes

, hypertension, obesity/overweight, and high cholesterol).

b) Insulin resistance

c) Hemochromatosis - iron overload causes pancreas damage that can mimic Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes.

d) Chronic pancreatitis - pancreas damage that can mimic diabetes.

e) Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) - ovary cysts inhibit natural female hormones causing insulin resistance

f) Carcinoid syndrome - glucose intolerance, protean manifestations, serotonin inhibits insulin production
