Insulin resistance may be due to an inherent genetic risk factor. Insulin resistance may become more severe with increasing weight and age. It results in impaired glucose tolerance and overt hyperglycemia. Overt hyperglycemia may itself result in a toxic effect on beta cells by decreasing insulin gene expression. < | Insulin resistance may be due to an inherent [[genetic]] risk factor.

Definition
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease that results in dysregulation of blood sugar in the body.
Types
- Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
- Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
- Sudden onset
- Age: Any age, but mostly young
- ketoacidosis common
- Endogenous insulin low or absent
Type 2 Diabetes mellitus
- Gradual onset
- Age: Mostly adults
- May occur in younger individuals
- Ketoacidosis rare
- Endogenous insulin may be
- normal
- increased or
- decreased
Symptoms
- Diabetes mellitus is usually asymptomatic.
- Symptoms of Diabetes may include the following:
Pathophysiology
Combination of factors
- Insulin deficiency
- Development of relative insulin resistance
Insulin resistance
Insulin resistance may be due to an inherent genetic risk factor. Insulin resistance may become more severe with increasing weight and age. It results in impaired glucose tolerance and overt hyperglycemia. Overt hyperglycemia may itself result in a toxic effect on beta cells by decreasing insulin gene expression.
