Overview
Diabetes Mellitus (DM) or diabetes is a disease characterized by blood glucose levels that exceed normal (hyperglycemia) due to a deficiency of insulin either absolute or relatif. Diabetes occurs because the body can not convert food into energy. This is the condition in which we have a blood sugar (glucose) levels in our bodies. It is a chronic disease that can be controlled but not cured.
Types
The disease is classified according to its nature:
- Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (type 1)
- Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (type 2), composed of people obese and lean
- DM-related malnutrition
- DM associated with the condition or symptoms of certain diseases such as pancreatic disease, hormonal diseases, chemical obat-obatan/bahan, abnormal insulin / receptor, genetic syndromes, etc..
- DM in pregnancy
Causes of Diabetes Mellitus
DM is generally caused by a small or large part of the beta cells of the islands Langerhaens the pancreas that produce insulin, resulting in insulin deficiency. Besides, the DM can also occur due to interference with the function of insulin in glucose to enter the cells. Disorders that may occur due to obesity or other causes are not yet known. Basically, there are still things that are still unclear about the DM, both related to the cause of damage to the pancreas and cause insulin resistance.
Symptoms of Diabetes Mellitus
At this stage the symptoms are generally mild so it is not felt, became known only after laboratory tests. In advanced stages symptoms include:
- thirst

-weak body
- itch-weight loss
- numb-feeling hungry
