How is diabetes mellitus a risk factor for developing atheroma?

Q. I can understand that badly controlled blood glucose levels may lead to damage to walls of blood vessels, hence making them more susceptible to developing atheroma, but is simply having Type 1 and Type 2 a risk factor to atheroma when blood sugar levels are near perfectly controlled?

What are each of the symptoms that patients suffer from diabetes?
Q. I am researching diabetes at school and I would like to know more about the different types of diabetes for example
Type 1 Diatbetes, Type 2 Diabetes and Gestational Diabetes Mellitus.

What are the symptoms they suffer and what do the patients of this disease discuss of these symptoms?

A. Treating diabetes is best carried out during the early stages of the disease when the consequences can still be controlled and minimized. Such an approach will require an early determination of diabetic symptoms. These diabetic symptoms are:

* Extreme and excessive thirst that is quite abnormal
* Hunger even when meals have recently been taken
* Frequent urination
* Fatigue easily creeps in
* Excessive weight loss at such a short period of time
* Smeared vision
* Nagging impatience that has recently been developed

Can someone join the military more specific the Air Force if they have Diabetes?
Q. I have Type 1 Diabetes and want to join but i heard im not allowed.

A. I've never known Type I or II Diabetes to be waived. There is a valid reason for this. Military members are subject to deployment to remote areas of the World, at any time, with no notice, and medicines may not be available in these remote locations

The causes for rejection for appointment, enlistment, and induction (without an approved waiver) are an authenticated history of:

a. Adrenal dysfunction (255) of any degree.

b. Diabetes mellitus (250) of any type.

c. Glycosuria. Persistent, when associated with impaired glucose tolerance (250) or renal tubular defects (271.4).

d. Acromegaly. Gigantism or other disorder of pituitary function (253).

e. Gout (274).

f. Hyperinsulinism (251.1).

g. Hyperparathyroidism (252.0) and hypoparathyroidism (252.1).

h. Thyroid disorders.


How many types of diabetes are there?
Q. My friend is telling me there's 4 types of diabetes:

Type 1 and 2
gestational diabetes and
pre-diabetes

I thought there were only 3
does pre-diabetes count as one?

A. Are you ready for this?
You count them!!!

Type 1 Diabetes.
This is sometimes referred to as Juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependant diabetes mellitus (shortened to IDDM).

Type 2 Diabetes.
This has been called by many different names down the time. You may have heard it referred to as adult diabetes, maturity onset diabetes, old age diabetes, or non-insulin-dependant diabetes (shortened to NIDDM).

LADA.
Sometimes referred to as type 1.5, Slow onset type 1, LADA - latent autoimmune diabetes in adults or Slowly Progressive Diabetes (SPIDDM).

Pre-diabetes.
This is also known as borderline diabetes, potential diabetes, sugar disregulation or chemical diabetes.

Gestational diabetes.
(Also called glucose intolerance of pregnancy) This is a complication of pregnancy and usually appears in the later half (5-6th month), when the baby is fully formed but still growing.

MODY.
These initials stand for Mature Onset Diabetes of the Young.
It affects one to two per cent of people with diabetes and is often unrecognised.

Steroid diabetes.
This is listed here as a different type although it is sometimes classed with type 1 and at other times with type 2.

MIDD or Maternally Inherited Diabetes And Deafness.
This is a very rare form of Type 2 diabetes, accounting for only 1% of diabetics.

Neonatal Diabetes Mellitus.
There are two types, Permanent Neonatal Diabetes mellitus (PNDM) and Transient Neonatal Diabetes Mellitus (TNDM).


Take care
