	eMedicine - Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 : Article by William L Isley
		Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a group of disorders characterized by hyperglycemia and associated with microvascular (ie, retinal, renal, possibly neuropathic), macrovascular (ie, coronary, peripheral vascular), and neuropathic (ie, autonomic, peripheral) complications.
		Diabetes mellitus is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the United States because of its role in the development of optic, renal, neuropathic, and cardiovascular disease.
		Diabetes mellitus is the leading cause of nontraumatic lower limb amputations in the United States, with a 15- to 40-fold increase in risk compared to that of the nondiabetic population.

	Diabetes (Diabetes Type 1, Diabetes Type 2) symptoms and information by MedicineNet.com
		Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by high blood sugar (glucose) levels, which result from defects in insulin secretion, or action, or both.
		Diabetes is also an important factor in accelerating the hardening and narrowing of the arteries (atherosclerosis), leading to strokes, coronary heart disease, and other large blood vessel diseases.
		Diabetes is the third leading cause of death in the United States after heart disease and cancer.

		Type 2 diabetes is a common and underdiagnosed condition that poses treatment challenges to family practitioners.
		Type 2 diabetes presents as a spectrum of metabolic abnormalities with prominent insulin resistance and relative insulin deficiency.
		Patients with undiagnosed diabetes mellitus are at serious risk for coronary heart disease, stroke and peripheral vascular disease, and have a greater likelihood of dyslipidemia, hypertension and obesity.

	Diabetes, type 2 definition - Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, Type 1, and Metabolic Disorders treatment and medications
		Diabetes, type 2: One of the two major types of diabetes, the type in which the beta cells of the pancreas produce insulin but the body is unable to use it effectively because the cells of the body are resistant to the action of insulin.
		Although this type of diabetes may not carry the same risk of death from ketoacidosis, it otherwise involves many of the same risks of complications as does type 1 diabetes (in which there is a lack of insulin).
		Type 2 diabetes is also known as insulin-resistant diabetes, non-insulin dependent diabetes, and adult-onset diabetes.

	Diabetes mellitus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Type 1 diabetes mellitus - formerly known as insulin-dependent diabetes (IDDM), childhood diabetes, or juvenile-onset diabetes - is characterized by loss of the insulin-producing beta cells of the islets of Langerhans of the pancreas leading to a deficiency of insulin.
		Type 2 diabetes mellitus - previously known as adult-onset diabetes, maturity-onset diabetes, or non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) - is due to a combination of defective insulin secretion and defective responsiveness to insulin (often termed insulin resistance or reduced insulin sensitivity), almost certainly involving the insulin receptor in cell membranes.
		Diabetes is often detected when a person suffers a problem frequently caused by diabetes, such as a heart attack, stroke, neuropathy, poor wound healing or a foot ulcer, certain eye problems, certain fungal infections, or delivering a baby with macrosomia or hypoglycemia.
