Objective:- To Understand, Detect, Diagnose & Prevent Type 2 Diabetes To Understand The Root Cause of Type 2 Diabetes To Identify Insulin Resistance Mechanism
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to diabetes mellitus (diabetes insipidus not included below):
Diabetes mellitus – group of metabolic diseases in which a person has high blood sugar, either because the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or because cells do not respond properly to the insulin that is produced,[1] a condition called insulin resistance. The resultant high blood sugar produces the classical symptoms of polyuria (frequent urination), polydipsia (increased thirst) and polyphagia (increased hunger).
Type 1 diabetes – disease that results in autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas.[4]
Type 2 diabetes – metabolic disorder that is characterized by high blood glucose in the context of insulin resistance and relative insulin deficiency.[5]
Disease of affluence – type 2 diabetes is one of the "diseases of affluence", which include mostly chronic non-communicable diseases for which personal lifestyles and societal conditions associated with economic development are believed to be important risk factors.
Gestational diabetes – Gestational diabetes, is a temporary condition that is first diagnosed during pregnancy. Like type 1 and type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes causes blood sugar levels to become too high. It involves an increased risk of developing diabetes for both mother and child.
Other types of diabetes:
Congenital diabetes –
Cystic fibrosis-related diabetes –
Steroid diabetes –
Monogenic diabetes –
Signs and symptoms of diabetes mellitus
Symptoms of prediabetes – prediabetes typically has no distinct signs or symptoms. Patients should monitor for signs and symptoms of type 2 diabetes mellitus (see below).
Currently, there is no known way to prevent diabetes mellitus type 1. However, onset of diabetes mellitus type 1 may be delayed by about two years by administering Teplizumab.
Regular physical exercise – in addition to helping to maintain a healthy weight, sufficient vigorous physical exercise increases cells' sensitivity to insulin, and can thus prevent and possibly revert insulin resistance.
Medication – specific medications have been shown to be able to prevent type 2 diabetes. However, the disease can often be delayed through proper nutrition and regular exercise.[7]
VX-880, developed by Vertex Pharmaceuticals, is a stem cell-derived therapy for people with diabetes mellitus type 1.[10]
VX-880 involves replacement of non-functioning insulin-producing cells with transplanted functional cells. VX-880 is in clinical trials but has already resulted in patients with diabetes mellitus type 1 achieving insulin independence.[11]
