Iddm Definition and Examples - Biology Online Dictionary

Iddm –>
insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus
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.
