Insulin resistance in women and men

The pathogenesis of many of them is based on insulin resistance - a disorder closely related to obesity, dyslipidemia, arterial hypertension, coronary heart disease, reproductive disorders against the background of hypertrophy and dysfunction of adipose tissue cells.

Dry and moist gangrene of the toes in diabetes mellitus

One of the serious problems associated with chronic hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) is diabetic gangrene, which occurs in patients with this metabolic disease due to poor blood supply to tissues and deterioration of their trophism.

Disability in type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus

Basically, the status of a disabled person helps patients adapt to living conditions, especially in severe forms, provides an appropriate level of protection and guarantees, material and medical benefits, makes some social services and payments available.

Trophic ulcers in diabetes mellitus on the legs

Diabetes is a complex disease that manifests itself not only by an increase in sugar levels. The function of many organs is disrupted, the innervation and trophism of the skin deteriorates. Unfortunately, this process is difficult to treat and can occur again in the same place.

Prediabetes in adults and children

There has been so much written and spoken about a disease such as diabetes that only a very small child could not have an idea about it. But in medical practice there is also such a concept as prediabetes (or prediabetes), which is clearly related to the previous diagnosis, but still differs significantly from it.

Diagnosis of diabetes mellitus

In accordance with the definition of diabetes mellitus as a syndrome of chronic hyperglycemia proposed by WHO in 1981, the main diagnostic test is the determination of blood glucose levels.

Diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy

Diagnosis and staging of diabetic nephropathy are based on anamnesis data (duration and type of diabetes mellitus), laboratory test results (detection of microalbuminuria, proteinuria, azotemia and uremia).

Diagnosis of diabetic neuropathy

The diagnosis of diabetic neuropathy is made on the basis of relevant complaints, a history of type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus, data from a standardized clinical examination and instrumental research methods (including quantitative sensory, electrophysiological (electromyography) and autofunctional tests).

Causes and pathogenesis of diabetic neuropathy

The frequency of various forms of neuropathy among patients with diabetes reaches 65-80%. Diabetic neuropathy develops at any age, but clinical manifestations are more common in people over 50 years of age.

Diagnosis of diabetes mellitus in children

Almost all children with the disease diagnosed for the first time have some clinical symptoms. Hyperglycemia and glucosuria confirm the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. The glucose level in venous blood plasma above 11.1 mmol/l is diagnostically significant. In addition, most children have ketonuria when the diagnosis is established. Sometimes a child is diagnosed with an increase in glucose concentration above 8 mmol/l in the absence of symptoms of diabetes mellitus.
