Description:

There are two major types of diabetes mellitus: Insulin dependent juvenile diabetes (IDDM-Type I) in which the body is unable to produce insulin and non-insulin-dependent adult-onset diabetes (NIDDM-Type II) in which the pancreas produces insulin, but it is insufficient for reducing the blood glucose to normal levels.

Symptoms:

In Type I, there is excessive thirst, hunger, urination and dehydration, often accompanied by weight loss. Currently, insulin injections are the only known method of control. In Type II, which usually occurs during middle age, the symptoms are the same except that there is weight gain.
