Diabetes mellitus

Diabetes mellitus (DM), commonly referred to as diabetes, is a group of metabolic diseases in which there are high blood sugar levels over a prolonged period. Symptoms of high blood sugar include frequent urination, increased thirst, and increased hunger. If left untreated, diabetes can cause many complications.Acute complications include diabetic ketoacidosis and nonketotic hyperosmolar coma. Serious long-term complications include cardiovascular disease, stroke, chronic kidney failure, foot ulcers, and damage to the eyes.

Diabetes is due to either the pancreas not producing enough insulin or the cells of the body not responding properly to the insulin produced. There are three main types of diabetes mellitus:

  • Type 1 DM results from the pancreas's failure to produce enough insulin. This form was previously referred to as "insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus" (IDDM) or "juvenile diabetes". The cause is unknown.
  • Type 2 DM begins with insulin resistance, a condition in which cells fail to respond to insulin properly. As the disease progresses a lack of insulin may also develop. This form was previously referred to as "non insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus" (NIDDM) or "adult-onset diabetes". The primary cause is excessive body weight and not enough exercise.

    Chovam se jak dobytek,

    a obcas taky vycitky svedomi
    Pak se taky bojim, ze mi to v pekle spocitaj,
    zato kdyz budu hodnej, tak me ceka raj
    a vecnej zivot a drahy kameni
    a vecnej zivot a drahy kameni
    Kdysi jsem byl hodnej, ale hovno jsem si uzil,
    s frigidnima holkama ja vul jsem se druzil,
    byla se mnou nuda a nudil me svet,
    v nebi bych vypadal jako divnej skret
    a hnali by me odsud mecem ohnivym
    a hnali by me odsud mecem ohnivym
    a hnali by me odsud mecem ohnivym
