Medical Information Diabetes Mellitus Classifications

There are some classifications types of Diabetes Mellitus (DM), the Diabetes Mellitus type are :

• Diabetes Mellitus Type 1 (Diabetes i, diabetes 1)

Type 1 diabetes (diabetes i, also known as diabetes 1) because under lack of insulin deficiency because of idiopathic or immune-induced decrease of functioning beta cells in the pancreas (5% of diabetics). It usually develops in childhood or even adolescence (juvenile diabetes).

• Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 (Diabetes ii, diabetes 2 for children)

Type 2 diabetes (diabetes ii, also known as diabetes 2) partially by peripheral insulin resistance and relative insulin deficiency (> 85% of diabetics). It usually occurs until later in life or until the age (adult onset diabetes).

• Diabetes MODY (Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young)

Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY diabetes) with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in young people, caused by an autosomal dominant disorder of insulin secretion (not the insulin effect) no insulin resistance. Six genetic types known.

• Gestational Diabetes

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) resembles Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in several respects, involving a combination of insulin secretion and responsiveness relatively poor. Occurs in approximately 2% -5% of all pregnancies and may improve or disappear after delivery. Gestational diabetes is fully treatable but requires careful medical supervision during pregnancy. Approximately 20% -50% of women with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus later in life.

• Other Diabetes Mellitus forms

Other diabetes forms for example caused by pancreatitis, surgery, trauma, drugs (diazoxide, pentamidine, thyroid hormones, glucocorticoids, interferon alpha, etc.), endocrinopathies (Cushing’s syndrome, glucagonom, pheochromocytoma, etc.), hemochromatosis, cystic fibrosis.

I will give more explanation about type of Diabetes Mellitus classifications above at my next articles.
