Diabetes mellitus
Diabetes mellitus often referred to simply as diabetes was known to the Ancient Greek and its name in Greek literary: "to pass through urine", is a syndrome of disordered metabolism. It is caused by one or a combination of hereditary and environmental causes, resulting in abnormally high blood sugar levels known medically as hyperglycemia.
There is what is today known as type 1 and type 2 diabetes
In type 1 diabetes develops due to a diminished production of insulin.
In type 2 the resistance to its effects. The two leads to a condition known medically as hyperglycaemia, which literarily means excess sugar in the blood. This causes the acute signs of diabetes: excessive urine production, resulting in thirst and increased fluid intake, blurred vision, unexplained weight loss, lethargy, and changes in energy metabolism.
Today, all forms of diabetes is treatable but cannot yet be cured
The disease and its treatments can cause many complications. Acute complications (hypoglycemia, ketoacidosis, or nonketotic hyperosmolar coma) may occur if the disease is not adequately controlled. Serious long-term complications include cardiovascular disease (doubled risk), chronic renal failure, retinal damage (which can lead to blindness), nerve damage (of several kinds), and microvascular damage, which may cause impotence and poor wound healing. Poor healing of wounds, particularly of the feet, can lead to gangrene, and possibly to surgical amputation.
