Etiologic Classification of Diabetes Mellitus . Type 1 diabetes -cell destruction, usually leading to absolute insulin deficiency insulin-dependent diabetes or juvenile onset diabetes
genetic predisposition (1) Sensitive factor : HLA DR3, DR4, DR9, (2) Non Sensitive factor : HLA DR2
. Type 2 diabetes may range from predominantly insulin resistance with relative insulin deficiency to a predominantly insulin secretory defect with insulin resistance non insulin-dependent diabetes or adult onset diabetes
. Other specific types of diabetes A. Genetic defects of -cell function characterized by mutations B. Genetic defects in insulin action C. Diseases of the exocrine pancreas
D. Endocrinopathies : acromegaly, Cushing's syndrome, glucagonoma, pheochromocytoma , somatostatinoma E. Drug- or chemical-induced F. Infections
G. Other genetic syndromes sometimes associated with diabetes : Down's syndrome, Klinefelter's syndrome, Turner's syndrome,
Diagnosis of diabetes
Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) test , oral glucose tolerance test , random plasma glucose test(casual plasma glucose test)
Fasting plasma glucose test (FPG) The FPG test is the preferred test for diagnosing diabetes because of its convenience and low cost. However, it will miss some diabetes or prediabetes that can be found with the OGTT. The FPG test is most reliable when done in the morn-ing.
oral glucose tolerance test Research has shown that the OGTT is more sensitive than the FPG test for diagnosing prediabetes, but it is less convenient to administer. The OGTT requires fasting for at least 8 hours before the test. The plasma glucose level is measured immediately before and 2 hours after a person drinks a liquid containing 75 grams of glucose dissolved in water
Complications
Acute : diabetic ketoacidosis , hyperosmolar hyperglycemic nonketotic syndrome , hypoglycemia
chronic Microvascular Retinopathy-neovascularization Macular edema Cataracts Glaucoma Cerebrovascular disease Macrovascular Coronary artery disease Peripheral vascular disease Cerebrovascular disease Genitourinary

Metabolic syndrome Metabolic syndrome is a combination of medical disorders that, when occurring together, increase the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and diabetes metabolic syndrome X, cardiometabolic syndrome, syndrome X, insulin resistance syndrome, Reaven's syndrome
Diabetic Ketoacidosis In the short term, consistent high blood glucose levels can lead to a condition called diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). This happens because of a lack of glucose entering The cells where it can be used as energy. The body begins to use stores of fat as an alternative source of energy, and this in turn produces an acidic byproduct known as ketones.
Symptoms can include: Deep, rapid breathing , Dry skin and mouth, Flushed face ,
Dulled senses that may worsen to a coma, Fatigue, Frequent urination or thirst that lasts for a day or more, Headache, Muscle stiffness or aches, Shortness of breath,

Treatment
The goal of treatment is to correct the high blood sugar level with insulin. Insulin replacement, Fluid and electrolyte replacement,
Hypoglycemia
Hypoglycemia is the clinical syndrome that results from low blood sugar. The symptoms of hypoglycemia can vary from person to person, as can the severity. Classically, hypoglycemia is diagnosed by a low blood sugar with symptoms that resolve when the sugar level returns to the normal range
symptoms nervousness, tremor, sweating, intense hunger, trembling, weakness, palpitations, trouble speaking.

confusion, drowsiness, changes in behavior, coma, Seizure

Hpoglycemic unawareness A situation in which the usual epinephrine-induced symptoms of a fall in blood sugar are, for a variety of reasons, either not felt or not recognized. This situation may be dangerous, as the patient may go from functioning normally to unconscious within a short time

hyperthyroidism The term hyperthyroidism refers to any condition In which there is too much thyroid hormone produced in the body. In other words, the thyroid gland is overactive. Another term that you might hear for this problem is thyrotoxicosis, which refers to high thyroid hormone levels in the blood stream, irrespective of their source
cause Graves' disease, subacute thyroiditis , painless thyroditis, nodular toxic goiter, it occurs more often in young women
symptoms 1) nervous system: neural sensitivity, depression, anxiety, lack of concentration, ability to work and class sense , shakes 2) Cardiovascular: tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, cardiomegaly, congestive heart failure (high output failure), 3) Musculoskeletal: muscle atrophy and weak, Hypokalemia, hypercalcemia, hypercalciuria, no treatment of osteoporosis
