Presentation
Physicians should consider DMI in the differential diagnosis of patients with diabetes who present with painful, swollen muscles without systemic signs of infection. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Four years after diagnosis he presented following a school camp with respiratory distress, decreased level of consciousness (GCS 10), poor perfusion (capillary refill time 4 seconds) and pH 6.92. [nzma.org.nz]
His presentation, clinical examination and imaging all suggested the diagnosis of muscle infarction. He was managed conservatively with analgesia, and allowed to mobilise. He made a good recovery. [endocrine-abstracts.org]
Based on her imaging, laboratory data, and clinical presentation she was diagnosed with HGB. [pancreas.imedpub.com]
Entire Body System
- Weight Loss
Weight loss. Since sugars can’t be used to produce energy, your body tries to produce it using fats, which causes sugars stored in fat tissue to mobilize. This is one of the possible reasons for weight loss in people with diabetes. [ihhub.org]
At the time of presentation, he reported nausea and a 10-kg weight loss. Physical examination revealed epigastric tenderness without rebound tenderness. Abdominal computed tomography revealed periduodenal edema. [acgcasereports.gi.org]
For many Type II diabetics, weight loss may be an important goal in helping them to control their diabetes. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
Ten-year followup of diabetes incidence and weight loss in the Diabetes Prevention Program Outcomes Study. Lancet. 2009 Nov 14;374(9702):1677-86. 3 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. [healthypeople.gov]
The common symptoms are fatigue, extreme thirst and hunger, excessive urination, and weight loss. This type of diabetes requires a person to receive insulin, either through multiple injections each day, or a continuous pump. [verywell.com]
- Inflammation
A muscle biopsy demonstrated coagulation necrosis in the skeletal muscle with inflammation and infarction in the walls of small blood vessels. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This systemic inflammation can reduce tissue response to circulating insulin, thereby reducing glucose uptake by cells and causing hyperglycemia. [decisionsindentistry.com]

Endoscopic view of a 2.5-cm ulcer in the proximal descending duodenum without stigmata of recent hemorrhage. Part of the ulcer base is concealed by surrounding edema. Note the mural spasm near the ulcer. [acgcasereports.gi.org]

Prognosis The prognosis in patients with diabetes mellitus is strongly influenced by the degree of control of their disease. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Etiology
The etiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus appears to involve complex interactions between environmental and genetic factors. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Etiology Type 1 DM is caused by autoimmune destruction of the insulin-secreting beta cells of the pancreas. The loss of these cells results in nearly complete insulin deficiency; without exogenous insulin, type 1 DM is rapidly fatal. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
