Besides type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes, there is several other type of diabetes disease.
Those other diabetes types are rarely occurs and usually does not cause acute diabetes in the people who have them.
But sometimes one of these types can also responsible for more acute case of diabetes, so you should know that they exist.
Here is the list of symptoms and causes for other types of diabetes: Diabetes due to loss or disease of pancreatic tissue: If you suffer a disease, such as cancer, that forces you to undergo the removal of some of your pancreas, you will lose your insulin-producing beta cells from your pancreas and your body will develop diabetes.
This kind of diabetes is not always acute since you lose glucagon, another hormone found in your pancreas, after you undergo the pancreatic surgery.
Glucagon has the ability to block insulin action in your body, so when your body has less glucagon, it can function with less insulin, and your body will only develop a milder case of diabetes.
Diabetes due to iron overload: If your body absorb large amount of iron into the blood your body will develop a disease.
This disease will damage your pancreas, as well as liver, the heart, the joints, and the nervous system.
This hereditary condition occurs in 1 of 200 people in the United States.
Half of those who have it develop a clinical disease, sometimes diabetes.
Diabetes due to other diseases: Many hormones found in your body that has opposition effect to your insulin action.
These hormones are produced in other glands outside the pancreas.
If you suffer from disease like cancer located in one of these glands, then these glands sometimes will produce an excessive amount of hormone that work against insulin effect.
In general this condition will only give you glucose intolerance rather than diabetes, because your pancreas will produce extra insulin in order to overcome the hormone.
But if your body also has the genetic factor of diabetes, then you will be likely to develop diabetes.
Diabetes due to hormone treatments for other diseases: Other hormone treatments could also cause you to develop diabetes.
The hormone that could cause diabetes in this situation is hydrocortisone.
This hormone is used to treat an inflammation disease such as arthritis.
If you develop diabetes after you consume this hormone, then you should immediately consult to your doctor.
Diabetes due to other drugs: Some drug can cause in an increasing of blood glucose as a side effect.
Some drugs to reduce high blood pressure could raise your blood glucose.
Another drug that could also increase the level of your blood glucose is Niacin.
This drug is commonly used to treat a high cholesterol patient.
If you have a genetic tendency to develop diabetes, the consumption of these drugs is enough to give you the disease.
