Diabetes and pregnancy
Diabetes and pregnancy covers preexisting type 1 or type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes mellitus in pregnancy. Key facts: 3–4x malformation risk, preconception A1C below 6.5%, insulin preferred, GDM screening at 24–28 weeks.
Diabetes in dogs
Diabetes in dogs (canine diabetes mellitus), a common lifelong endocrine disease of middle-aged dogs resembling human type 1 diabetes; signs include polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia, weight loss, and cataracts; treated with twice-daily insulin such as Vetsulin or Caninsulin.
Diabetes insipidus
Diabetes insipidus, renamed arginine vasopressin deficiency (AVP-D) and resistance (AVP-R) in 2022, is a rare disorder of dilute polyuria from absent or ineffective antidiuretic hormone, affecting about 1 in 25,000 people.
Diabetes screening
Diabetes screening tests asymptomatic or at-risk people for diabetes and prediabetes using fasting glucose, glucose tolerance, or HbA1c tests, aiming to detect disease before symptoms appear.
Diabetic cardiomyopathy
Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DbCM, DCM): diabetes-induced cardiac dysfunction in the absence of coronary artery disease, hypertension, and valvular disease; first described by Rubler et al. in 1972; marked by fibrosis, hypertrophy, and diastolic dysfunction.
Diabetic cataract
Diabetic cataract: lens opacity occurring earlier and more often in diabetes (2-5 fold risk), driven by polyol-pathway sorbitol and oxidative stress; surgery carries higher complication and retinopathy-progression risks.
Diabetic coma
Diabetic coma is unconsciousness from extreme hyperglycemia (DKA or hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state) or severe hypoglycemia in diabetes; distinguished by ketosis, osmolality, and glucose thresholds.
Diabetic Diet
Diabetic diet: a prescribed eating regimen for people with diabetes mellitus, formally defined as limiting high-glycemic-index foods (MeSH D003927, 1966). No single official diabetic or ADA diet exists; guidance favors individualized patterns such as Mediterranean and DASH.
Diabetic embryopathy
Diabetic embryopathy is the spectrum of congenital malformations caused by maternal diabetes, chiefly from early-pregnancy hyperglycemia; typical defects include heart anomalies, neural tube defects, and caudal regression syndrome.
Diabetic eye screening
Diabetic eye screening is an NHS program using dilated retinal photography to detect diabetic retinopathy and maculopathy in people with diabetes aged 12 and over.
Diabetic foot
Diabetic foot: infection, ulceration, or tissue destruction of the foot linked to neuropathy and/or peripheral artery disease in diabetes. Ulcer incidence 2-4% yearly, lifetime prevalence 19-34%; over 85% of amputations preceded by an active ulcer; managed via IWGDF/IDSA guidelines, offloading, and revascularization.
Diabetic foot ulcer
A diabetic foot ulcer, or neuropathic ulcer due to diabetes, is an open sore on the foot of a person with diabetes, often leading to infection and amputation.
Diabetic glomerular changes
Diabetic glomerular changes (ICD-11 MF83) are diabetes-induced glomerular lesions: glomerular basement membrane thickening, mesangial expansion, Kimmelstiel-Wilson nodules, and exudative deposits, classified by the Tervaert/RPS four-class system.
Diabetic ketoacidosis
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a life-threatening diabetes emergency caused by insulin deficiency, ketone buildup, and metabolic acidosis. Key criteria: β-hydroxybutyrate ≥3.0 mmol/L, pH <7.3; treated with IV fluids, insulin, electrolytes.
Diabetic lactic acidosis
Diabetic lactic acidosis (ICD-11 5A22.1) is a serious diabetes complication with blood lactate >5 mmol/L and pH <7.35, occurring in DKA or as metformin-associated lactic acidosis, treated by stopping metformin, support, and dialysis in severe cases.
Diabetic lumbosacral plexopathy
Diabetic lumbosacral plexopathy (diabetic amyotrophy, DLRPN, Bruns-Garland syndrome) is a rare diabetic neuropathy causing subacute proximal leg pain and weakness from nerve microvasculitis; immunotherapy lacks trial evidence.
Diabetic nephropathy
Diabetic nephropathy, also called diabetic kidney disease (DKD), is diabetes-caused chronic kidney disease marked by albuminuria (UACR >30 mg/g) and falling eGFR; first described by Kimmelstiel and Wilson in 1936, now treated with SGLT2 inhibitors and finerenone.
Diabetic neuropathy
Diabetic neuropathy, or diabetic neuropathies, is nerve damage caused by high blood glucose, affecting up to half of people with diabetes, most often in the feet and legs.
Diabetic retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy, a microvascular complication of diabetes damaging retinal blood vessels, progresses from nonproliferative disease to proliferative DR and diabetic macular edema; treated with anti-VEGF injections, laser photocoagulation, and vitrectomy.
Diabetic retinopathy screening
Diabetic retinopathy screening is a systematic eye examination, usually digital fundus photography, that detects retinal damage from diabetes before symptoms appear, since early treatment can prevent vision loss.
Diabetic skin lesions
Diabetic skin lesions (ICD-11 EB90.0) are skin changes caused by diabetes mellitus, including infections, diabetic dermopathy, necrobiosis lipoidica, and foot ulcers; pooled prevalence is about 70% of diabetic patients.
