| exudative retinitis | Retinitis exudativa, a chronic abnormality characterised by deposition of cholesterol and cholesterol esters in outer retinal layers and subretinal space.

| diabetic | Diabetes mellitus is a disorder that is caused by the insufficient production of the pancreatic hormone insulin. Without insulin cells are unable to absorb glucose, necessary for cellular metabolism and energy production. Patients may have type I diabetes (juvenile onset) or type II diabetes (adult onset). Individuals with either condition are considered to be diabetic. (27 Sep 1997) |
| diabetic acidosis | Decreased pH and bicarbonate concentration in the body fluids caused by accumulation of ketone bodies in diabetes mellitus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| diabetic amyotrophy | A type of diabetic neuropathy that primarily affects elderly patients with diabetes mellitus; clinically characterised by unilateral or bilateral anterior thigh pain, weakness, and atrophy; of abrupt or gradual onset and, when bilateral, of simultaneous or sequential onset, and usually asymmetrical; one type of diabetic polyradiculopathy. Sometimes referred to, erroneously, as diabetic femoral neuropathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| diabetic arthropathy | A neuropathic arthropathy occurring in diabetes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| diabetic cataract | A cataract occurring in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. (27 Sep 1997) |
| diabetic coma | A severe metabolic derangement that occurs in the absence of insulin. Insulin allows the body to absorb glucose into cells for energy production. In the absence of insulin, the body starts to break down fats for fuel. A metabolic byproduct of fat metabolism is referred to as a ketone. The presence of elevated blood ketones in this setting is known as diabetic ketoacidosis. In extreme, untreated cases, this can lead to coma and death. (27 Sep 1997) |
| diabetic dermopathy | Small macules and papules of the extensor surfaces of the extremities, most commonly the shins of diabetics, which become atrophic, hyperpigmented, and occasionally undergo ulceration with scarring; may be a manifestation of microangiopathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
