I got that information from this book:
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Yes, it was expensive and yes, I bought it in 2005. Things have changed
since then and Joslin may well have put out another book. That one is
written for Drs. so some of it was over my head but it was still an
interesting read. At that point in time, diabetes was generally classified
as type 1 (requires insulin shots to live, formerly called juvenile), type 2
(insulin resistant, treatment may include insulin), gestational (starts
usually in the last trimester of pregnancy and resolves after the baby is
born but may come back later as type 2), LADA (late adult onset, but
essentially type 1), MODY (maturity onset diabetes in the young), CFRD
(cystic fibrosis related diabetes). All prior mentioned are referred to as
diabetes mellitus but are generally lumped into type 1, type 2 or
gestational because the treatments are the same.
There is also diabetes insipidus.There are a variety of causes and reasons
for this and this too has a form of gestational diabetes. I'll throw a link
up for that.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetes_insipidus
There are other types that may or may not be permanent. For instance, an out
of whack thyroid can cause blood sugar issues. So can pancreatitis, taking
steroids, certain psychiatric meds, beta blockers and probably other things
I'm not aware of.
More recently there are the classifications of type 3 (Althzheimers), 1.5 (a
cross between 1 and 2). 2A and 2B, I'll put up a link:
https://aliscience.org/2014/09/11/tw...s-subtype-2-b/
And there is also the ever popular borderline or pre-diabetes.
No matter. The treatments are all the same. Insulin injections for those who
do not produce any or not enough. Insulin injections and/or other injectable
meds and/or pills, and/or diet and exercise.
There are some newer treatments in the testing stages for type 1 such as a
surgery or implant. I don't think those are available yet in this country.
Not to the general public anyway.
The Joslin book further spells out all of the variants but does point out
that in most cases it's a waste of time to look into this further on an
individual basis because the testing is costly and the treatments available
are still the same.
What else would you like to know?
