What are the symptoms of Type I Diabetes Mellitus?
Polyuria, polydipsia, weight loss, sometimes polyphagia
What is the most serious acute complication of poor blood glucose control in
Type I Diabetes Mellitus?
Diabetic ketoacidosis
What are the long-term complications of Type I Diabetes Mellitus?
Multiple complications
What is the treatment for Type I Diabetes Mellitus?
Insulin replacement therapy
What is Type II Diabetes Mellitus?
Insulin resistance, relative insulin deficiency, progressive decline in B-cell function
What are the risk factors for developing Type II Diabetes Mellitus?
Obesity, age, sedentary lifestyle, genetic predisposition
What are the symptoms of Type II Diabetes Mellitus?
Fatigue, weakness, dizziness, blurred vision
What is the most serious acute complication of uncontrolled blood glucose in
Type II Diabetes Mellitus?
, Hyperosmolar hyperglycemic nonketotic syndrome
What are the causes of insulin resistance in Type II Diabetes Mellitus?
Cell receptor deficits, increased hepatic glucose production, impaired insulin secretion,
decreased glucose uptake at muscle
What is Prediabetes?
Blood sugar range of 100-125 mg/dL, higher than normal but not high enough for DM
diagnosis

symptoms
What are the symptoms of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus?
Increased thirst, increased urination, increased appetite, unexplained weight loss
What are the chronic complications of Diabetes Mellitus?
