Why I'm Not 'Bowing Down' to BeyoncÃ©'s Dress Size. If you watched the Grammys this past Sunday, you were doing either one of two things: gawking about BeyoncÃ©'s size 2 dress she wore on the red carpet (hint: Google, BeyoncÃ© size) or gawking about the sheer bodysuit she wore during her sexy performance with the hubby. But I wasn't.
Diabetes mellitus (DM), commonly referred to as diabetes, is a group of metabolic diseases in which there are high blood sugar levels over a prolonged period. Symptoms of high blood sugar include frequent urination, increased thirst, and increased hunger. If left untreated, diabetes can cause many complications. Type 1 DM results from the pancreas' failure to produce enough insulin. 2  This form was previously referred to as insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) or juvenile diabetes. 3  The cause is unknown.
The two main types of diabetes mellitus -- insulin-requiring type 1 diabetes and adult-onset type 2 diabetes -- are distinct and different diseases in themselves. Medically reviewed by Martin Zipser, MD; Board Certified: Surgery.
