Diabetes
In diabetes, there are elevated blood sugar levels due to absolute or relative insufficiencies of insulin. There are two types of diabetes: type 1 (previously called insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) or juvenile-onset diabetes) and type 2 (previously called non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) or maturity-onset diabetes). There are signs that type 2 diabetes is being diagnosed more often in adolescents and young adults, due to sedentary lifestyles and 'fast-food' eating habits. Most type 2 diabetics produce variable, even normal, amounts of insulin, but have abnormalities in liver and muscle cells that resist its action.
