Poorly controlled diabetes is defined as having a glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) of >7%, pre-prandial capillary plasma glucose >130mg/dl and peak postprandial capillary plasma glucose of >180mg/dl [4].
Type 2 diabetes is a disease that prevents someone from properly regulating their blood glucose levels. The pancreas produces a hormone called insulin, which regulates the level of glucose in a person's blood. Insulin helps glucose present in the blood enter cells in the body.
E11. 69 - Type 2 diabetes mellitus with other specified complication. ICD-10-CM.
Type 2 DM typically has two pathophysiologic defects: an insulin secretory defect and insulin resistance. Symptoms of uncontrolled hyperglycemia include polyuria, polydipsia, blurry vision and possibly dehydration and weight loss.
type 3 diabetes is a condition which can follow after initially being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. In type 3 diabetes, the neurons lack glucose, a key element needed for the neurons to function effectively in body however more specifically the hippocampus and the cerebral cortex.
Less than 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L) is normal. 100 to 125 mg/dL (5.6 to 6.9 mmol/L) is diagnosed as prediabetes. 126 mg/dL (7 mmol/L) or higher on two separate tests is diagnosed as diabetes.
