Type of Diabetes
Most of the people do not
differentiate there diabetes with the
other. They usually think there is no difference of individual diabetes.
But it is not true even two family members can have different type of diabetes
and according to their type, treatment is varied. Every health aware must know
this fact.
The
team of modern Endocrinologists of w.h.o.
divided this complex disease in to several groups on medical background
technically which are difficult to understand for a nonmedical person. So we
are trying our best to simplify this
classification in five group as under-
1- Ist Group – IDDM (Insulin dependent diabetese mellitus) comes in this group,
usually effects below 15 years and its onset is rather abrupt. It have again
further division of obese (over weight) & Non-obese, which are ketosis
prone or not with other subdivision Approximate 10 % of total diabetic
population are IDDM
2- IInd Group - NIDDM (Non-Insulin dependent diabetes mellitus) effects adult or above the age of
35 years . In this type, there is
sufficient Insulin, but body
cells are partly fail to use it. 85 % diabetes are of this variety, it is again
having the division of Obese and nonobese etc.
3- IIIrd Group- MRDM(Malnutrtion related diabetes mellitus) previously this variety
was not found in India. But now some patients are registered in metropolitan
city hospitals, Imbalance diet is the main cause of it.
4- IVth Group – In this variety pancreas function is effected due to inflammatory
conditions stones, cyst, tumour etc. in it.
5- Vth Group – Gestational diabetes, Stable diabetes, Brittle diabetes represents
this Variety.
so
one should understand the depth of diabetes and never try any medicine without
consulting the Physician or Diabetologist of your city.
