Is there a type 4 diabetes?

Yes, there are 4 different types of diabetes they are all different. There is: type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes, and diabetes insipidus. Type 1 diabetes is seen mostly in children, this is when the pancreas secretes no insulin. Type 2 is when the pancreas secretes insulin, it is just not enough. Gestational is similar to type 2 but only occurs while a woman is pregnant. Diabetes insipidus is different it has nothing to do with blood sugar, although it may cause excessive. In diabetes insipidus the body has a problem secreting the ADH (antidiuretic hormone) this causes a person to become thirsty all the time and want to urinate frequently. A person with this is at risk for dehydration.

What is the predisposing factors of diabetes mellitus?

Type 2 diabetes: Obesity and Family History. Type 1 diabetes: Genetic. The risk of developing type 2 diabetes can be reduced significantly by drinking alcoholic beverages (beer, wine or liquor) in moderation. Large-scale research consistently finds a 30% to 40% lower risk of diabetes associated with moderate drinking. However, exactly how alcohol reduces the risk of diabetes has not yet been clearly established. However, new research has now demonstrated that alcohol improves the body's resistance to insulin, a problem of type 2 or adult onset diabetes. People with type 2 diabetes can't use glucose effectively because of their resistance to insulin. That's the hormone that permits glucose to be used by the body's cells.
