IDDM: Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus.
When a person has NIDDM and they have to start using insulin are they still considered to have adult onset or does it change to IDDM?
IDDM is associated with Type 1 or "juvenile" diabetes. In Type 1 diabetes, your pancreas does not produce any insulin, therefore, someone w/ this will have to take insulin for the rest of there life. With NIDDM or Adult onset diabetes your body's pancreas is still making a small amount of insulin. Some people w/ NIDDM can get by with taking pills, and changing their diet and exercise. When those don't work , then one would have to take insulin injections to help control their glucose levels in their body. But it would never change to IDDM. I hope that answers the question for you.
Is iddm is genetic or niddmis genetic disorder?
IDDM is still idiopathic although the the most likely cause of Type I diabetes is immune sequel. Antibodies that were activated against a viral infection are also capable of crossreacting with similar antigens presented on human cells. These can be autoantibodies for insulin, islet cells of the pancreas or to glutamic acid decarboxylase. Insulin autoantibodies are predominantly found in younger children (<5 yrs) and is known as micro insulin autoantibodies( MIAA) For islet cell autoantibodies there are two beta islet cells that show specificity to Type 1 DM. Autoantibodies to IA2 are found in a majority of Type I diabetic patients. IAR (also known as "phogrin") is also a marker on the beta islet cells.

Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disorder in which there is an absence or insufficient production of insulin. Two major classifications of diabetes are Type I or insulin-dependent mellitus (IDDM) and Type II, non-insulin dependent mellitus (NIDDM). Though many Type II diabetics use insulin but may still retain some degree of pancreatic function.
