Drug or Chemical Induced Diabetes Mellitus with Diabetic Chronic Kidney Disease

Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic health condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It is a metabolic disorder characterized by high blood sugar levels due to the inability of the body to produce or use insulin properly. There are two types of diabetes: Type 1 and Type 2. However, there is another type of diabetes that can be induced by drugs or chemicals, known as Drug or Chemical Induced Diabetes Mellitus.

Drug or Chemical Induced Diabetes Mellitus occurs when certain medications or chemicals interfere with the body's ability to produce or use insulin properly, leading to high blood sugar levels. Some of the medications that can cause this type of diabetes include corticosteroids, thiazides, and antipsychotics, among others. Chemicals such as pesticides and herbicides can also lead to Drug or Chemical Induced Diabetes Mellitus.

Chronic Kidney Disease is another health condition that affects the kidneys' ability to function correctly. It is a long-term condition that can lead to kidney damage and eventually kidney failure. Diabetes Mellitus is one of the leading causes of Chronic Kidney Disease. When a person with Diabetes Mellitus has Chronic Kidney Disease, it is referred to as Diabetic Chronic Kidney Disease.

Drug or Chemical Induced Diabetes Mellitus with Diabetic Chronic Kidney Disease can be a severe health condition that requires proper management. People with this condition require close monitoring of their blood sugar levels, as well as their kidney function. They may also need to make certain lifestyle changes, such as adopting a healthy diet and engaging in regular physical activity.
