ETIOPATHOGENESIS OF TYPE I AND TYPE II DIABETES MELLITUS

Abstract

Diabetes or sugar disease belongs to a group of metabolic diseases characterized by insulin resistance or insulin deficiency and leads to hyperglycemia (increased blood glucose levels. According to the classification, type I diabetes (insulin-dependent) and type II diabetes (immune to insulin) are distinguished. Type 3 diabetes refers to a disease in which there are signs of type I and type II diabetes at the same time, and type 4 diabetes is commonly referred to as gestational diabetes during pregnancy. Normal blood glucose levels range from 100 mg/dl (100 milligrams per deciliter). After eating, it may increase slightly, up to a maximum of 140ml / dcl. If the level indicator is above this value, then we may already be talking about the occurrence of sugar disease.
