I thought I would work through this page along the following sections. It would be great if someone joins in. Help with epidemiology would be greatly appreciated.

I will try not to refer to 'patients' as people get diabetes not patients and I will also try not to say diabetics as it defines people by a disease.

This page has grown into a general introduction to DM and a some introduction to the differences and similarities of the sub-types. I will continue with:



Management of diabetes mellitus

Glycaemic control, mimimisation of adverse effects, lifestyle changes, drugs

Epidemiology of diabetes mellitus

Including future trends

History of diabetes mellitus

Eber papyrus, Soranus, and onward
