Diabetes mellitus, or commonly known as diabetes is a metabolicdisorder characterized by the inability of the body to utilize carbohydrateseither entirely or partially. Since carbohydrates are normally brokendown within the body in the form of glucose for the bodys main source ofenergy, diabetic conditions occur because the body is unable to use the glucosenaturally. Moreover, insulin in the pancreas is a vital hormone that isresponsible for converting glucose into energy. In diabetes, the pancreaseither cannot make enough insulin or the body is unable to respond to theinsulin that is made.

In effect, increased concentrations of glucose in theblood begin to rise which further unbalances the system and often leads tonumerous health complications. According to recent statistics by the Centers for Disease Control andPrevention (CDC), diabetes affects 8.3% of the U.S. populationand around 7.0 million people go undiagnosed. Although many people thinkdiabetes only affects the elderly there were approximately 215,000people younger than 20 years that were diagnosed with diabetes in 2010 alone.Likewise, 50% of adults aged 65 years or older have pre-diabetes. In fact, theseventh leading cause of death in the United States is diabetes. Today there are an estimated 346 million people worldwide that havediabetes and according to the World Health Association (WHO) diabetes deathswill double between 2005 and 2030.

As well, in 2004 alone there were around 3.4million people that died from high blood sugar complications. BriefHistory Diabetes mellitus has been recognized as a devastating disease forcenturies. A form of diabetes mellitus is even described by ancientEgyptians 3000 years ago from a manuscript dating back to Circa(C) 1500 Before the Common Era (BCE). Descriptions are similar to type 1diabetes and were referred to as "too great emptying of theurine." The term diabetes was first named by Aretaeus of Cappadocia(81-133 AD). Later the term mellitus was devised to separate the condition fromdiabetes insipidus which is also characterized with frequent urination. The word mellitus is a Latin derivative that means "honey sweet".As well, the word diabetes is of Latin origin meaning "a passer through;a siphon" and in turn is also derived from Greek, meaning "topass through".

It wasnt until the early 20th century wheresuccessful insulin treatments were established by Canadians Charles Best andFredrick Banting. And by the 1940s, long acting insulin neutralprotamine Hagedorn (NPH) was developed which is quite similar to what is usedtoday. Types of Diabetes There are several types of diabetes that are recognized. The three maintypes are type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes. Severalother types of diabetes mellitus are characterized separately from the threemain types such as cystic fibrosis-related diabetes, congenital diabetes fromgenetic imperfections of insulin secretion, steroid diabetes brought on bylarge doses of glucocorticoids and other numerous forms. Type 1 Diabetes Type 1 diabetes, formerly known as childhood-onset or insulin-dependentdiabetes is characterized by a lack of insulin producing beta cells in thepancreas.

In effect, the lack of insulin producing beta islet cells leads tothe deficiency of insulin. Type 1 diabetes is also categorized into two maintypes; idiopathic and immune-mediated. Type 1B diabetes: Idiopathic or type 1B diabetes is a disease of unknownorigin. It does not affect the autoimmune system but it does test negative forislet cell antibodies. Typically people with type 1B have insulin deficienciesand can have ketoacidosis episodes. Ketoacidosis is a high blood sugar emergencythat can be life threatening.

Symptoms include abdominal pain, nausea,vomiting, accelerated breathing and on occasional even unconsciousness. Generally, a person with type 1B diabetes does not require daily insulinbecause blood glucose levels fluctuate, although blood sugar levels need to bemonitored and checked frequently. Additionally, a diet recommended by a healthprofessional is also advised. Typically, this form of diabetes is inherited.Likewise, current studies also suggest that people who are of Asian, African orHispanic origin are more apt to have type 1B diabetes. Type 1A: Immune-mediated or Type 1A diabetes is more common than 1B andcomprises around 10% of diabetes mellitus cases in North America and Europe. Itwas also previously known as insulin-dependent and juvenile-onsetdiabetes.

Type 1A diabetes is characterized by beta cell loss due toT-cell arbitration autoimmune damage. Currently there is no known preventativemeasure for type 1A diabetes. Generally onset is not anticipated becausepatients are usually quite healthy and not overweight. This form of diabetescan be easily controlled in the early stages with a positive response toinsulin. Type 1A diabetes affects both adults and children. It waslabeled "juvenile diabetes" because children with diabetes are moreapt to have this type.

Treatment for type 1A diabetes is largely through artificial insulin byinjection combined with monitored blood sugar levels and specialized diets. Inthe early stages of the disease treatment can be orally. Oftentimes insulin is a prerequisite for type 1A diabetes and withoutregular monitored doses a person can develop diabetic ketoacidosis which mayresult in a coma or death. Furthermore, there are non-insulin treatments currently being analyzedsuch as stem-cell based therapies and monoclonal antibodies. These clinicalstudies have been effective in animals but clinical trials for humans are notyet complete. Type 1A diabetes canaffect young children and teenagers, but it can happen at any age, even someonewho is eighty or ninety years old.
