- Type 1 diabetes is caused by an autoimmune process that reduces beta-cell function.
- Type 2 diabetes is characterized by decreased tissue responsiveness to insulin, overproduction of insulin, and abnormal hepatic glucose regulation.
- Prediabetes is when blood sugar is high but not consistently high enough to be considered type 2 diabetes.
- Risk factors for diabetes include family history, obesity, reduced physical activity, poor eating habits, and certain medications.
- Clinical manifestations of diabetes may include polydipsia, polyuria, weight loss, fatigue, pruritis vulva, poor wound healing, seizures, or urinary tract infections.
