| brittle diabetes | <endocrinology> A term used when the blood glucose (sugar) level often swings quickly from high to low and from low to high and is somewhat unstable. (13 Nov 1997) |

| bronzed diabetes | A genetic disease in which the body takes in too much iron from food, this causes excess iron to be deposited in the liver and heart and other organs, eventually leading to organ failure and death. This illness is called bronze diabetes because the kidneys often fail, leading to symptoms similar to those found with diabetes mellitus, and because the deposition of iron into the skin makes the person look like he or she has an all-over tan. It used to be believed that this disease was rare and mainly affected people of Caucasian descent, butin recent years scientists have realised it is more common and affects a wide range of ethnic groups. Some believe that this genetic defect actually helps people (especially women) survive in areas where malnutrition is widespread and iron is scarce in food. Regular venesection may help people suffering from this disease. (09 Oct 1997) |

| calcinuric diabetes | <biochemistry> The excretion of abnormally large amounts of calcium in the urine, seen in cases of hyperparathyroidism. Origin: Gr. Ouron = urine (11 Jan 1998) |
| galactose diabetes | <biochemistry> A rare genetic (autosomal recessive) disorder characterised by the inability a defect in the enzyme (galactose 1 phosphate uridyl transferase) that converts galactose 1 phosphate into glucose 1 phosphate is absent. Excess galactose 1 phosphate accumulates in the blood and a variety of problems result. Inheritance: autosomal recessive. Origin: Gr. Haima = blood (27 Sep 1997) |
| pancreatic diabetes | Diabetes mellitus demonstrably dependent upon a pancreatic lesion, diabetes following removal of the pancreas in an animal. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vasopressin-resistant diabetes | Diabetes insipidus due to inability of the kidney tubules to respond to antidiuretic hormone; X-linked inheritance, with full expression in males and partial defect in heterozygous females. Synonym: vasopressin-resistant diabetes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gestational diabetes | A glucose intolerance which occurs in pregnancy, usually noticed between the 24th and 28th weeks of pregnancy. In most cases the blood glucose level returns to normal after delivery. Although the symptoms of this form of diabetes are mild and nonserious for the mother, elevated blood glucose in the mother has been associated with an increased risk of foetal and newborn death. Risk factors for gestational diabetes include maternal age over 25, family history of diabetes, obesity, birth weight over 9 lb in a previous delivery or a history for congenital birth defect or death, in a previous newborn. (27 Sep 1997) |
| maturity-onset diabetes | Non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| maturity onset diabetes of youth | A relatively mild, non-insulin requiring form of diabetes mellitus beginning at a younger age than usual. (05 Mar 2000) |
| renal diabetes | The recurring or persistent excretion of glucose in the urine, in association with blood glucose levels that are in the normal range; results from the failure of proximal renal tubules to reabsorb glucose at a normal rate from the glomerular filtrate (low renal threshold); defect in the glucose carrier in the nephron. Synonym: diabetes innocens, normoglycaemic glycosuria, renal diabetes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chemical diabetes | A mild form of diabetes mellitus in which the patient displays no overt symptoms, but displays certain abnormal responses to diagnostic procedures, such as an elevated fasting blood glucose concentration or reduced glucose tolerance. Synonym: chemical diabetes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| metahypophysial diabetes | Diabetes mellitus caused by large quantities of endogenous or exogenous pituitary growth hormone, term used to designate the irreversible phase of diabetes mellitus in acromegaly. (05 Mar 2000) |
| growth-onset diabetes | A chronic condition in which the pancreas makes little or no insulin because the beta cells have been destroyed. The body is then not able to use the glucose (blood sugar) for energy. IDDM usually comes on abruptly, although the damage to the beta cells may begin much earlier. The signs of IDDM are a great thirst, hunger, a need to urinate often, and loss of weight. To treat the disease, the person must inject insulin, follow a diet plan, exercise daily, and test blood glucose several times a day. IDDM usually occurs in children and adults who are under age 30. This type of diabetes used to be known as juvenile diabetes, juvenile-onset diabetes, and ketosis-prone diabetes. (09 Oct 1997) |
| phlorizin diabetes | The presence of sugar in the urine after the experimental administration of phlorizin, which results in a lower renal threshold for glucose reabsorption of glucose. Synonym: phlorizin diabetes. (05 Mar 2000) |
