A community portal about Diabetes mellitus with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder, specifically affecting carbohydrate metabolism. It is a disease characterized by persistent hyperglycemia. It is a metabolic disease that requires medical diagnosis, treatment and lifestyle changes. The World Health Organization recognizes three main forms of diabetes: type 1, type 2 and gestational diabetes , although these three "types" of diabetes are more accurately considered patterns of pancreatic failure rather than single diseases. Type 1 is generally due to autoimmune destruction of the insulin-producing cells — beta cells — while type 2 and gestational diabetes are due to insulin resistance by tissues. Type 2 may progress to destruction of the insulin -producing cells of the pancreas, but is still considered Type 2, even though insulin administration may be required.

Something like insulin for people with Type 1 Diabetes costs around $115 per vial (for Novolog or Lantus insulin). That same vial gets discounted to $30 per vial if bought in quantities of 10 through Canadian pharmacy websites.Through most American insurance companies, the co-pay is still 50%, or $56 per vial. What are American insurance companies doing with the extra $26?

New findings by UT Southwestern researchers suggest that a drug already used to treat autoimmune disorders might also help slow the destruction of insulin-producing cells in patients recently diagnosed with insulin-dependent (type 1) diabetes. In type 1 diabetes, formerly known as juvenile diabetes, cells in the pancreas called beta cells, which produce insulin, are destroyed by an autoimmune process...

Elevated serum glucose from diabetes mellitus (DM) or impaired fasting glucose shares many mechanisms with aging that decrease aortic distensibility (AD), such as glycation of the extracellular matrix. However, few data compare the simultaneous effects of elevated serum glucose and aging on AD. To study this, we examined the relationship among fasting glucose status, age, and AD in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis: a multiethnic...

Today 50 percent of our pets are overweight or obese, which certainly can predispose them to developing diabetes. Both dogs and cats develop the same two types of diabetes seen in humans. The greater majority of dogs develop Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus where the body simply does not produce any insulin.

Background:
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder associated with an increased risk of type II diabetes mellitus. The results of previous research about the association of the VNTR polymorphism in 5-prime flanking region of the insulin (INS) gene with PCOS have been inconsistent. The present study was to investigate the association of the INS-VNTR polymorphism with PCOS in a Han Chinese population.

Feline Diabetes is very similar to human diabetes. Feline Diabetes Mellitus presents as one of two types: Type 1, caused by the insufficient production of insulin, and Type 2, related to the body's cells' inability to handle insulin efficiently. Although diabetes can strike cats of any age, it is more prevalent in older, obese cats, and is found more often in male cats. Although the management of feline diabetes is challenging, it is possible...
