| Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus - Also called Type I Diabetes Mellitus. A chronic disease in which the pancreas makes little or no insulin because the beta cells have been destroyed, and body cells are unable to use glucose for energy. IDDM usually occurs in children and in adults under age 30. This type of diabetes used to be known as "juvenile diabetes", "juvenile-onset diabetes", and "ketosis-prone diabetes". | ||||||||
| Insulin allergy - When a person's body has an allergic or bad reaction to taking insulin made from pork or beef or from bacteria, or because the insulin is not exactly the same as human insulin or because it has impurities. The allergy can be of two forms: Local Allergy: An area of skin becomes red and itchy around the place where the insulin is injected. Systemic allergy: In another form, a person's whole body can have a bad reaction. |

Human insulin has been available since October 1982. | ||||||||
| Hyperinsulinism - Elevated level of insulin in the blood. This term most often refers to a condition in which the body produces too much insulin.
