How to know if the Diagnosis Correct?
The first step in getting correct treatment is to get a correct diagnosis. Differential diagnosis list for Diabetes may include:
1-Diabetes insipidus - has a similar type of urination symptom pattern, but is usually ruled out early by a urine or blood glucose test.
2- Fructosuria - a rare genetic disease that has fructose sugar in the urine.
3- Xylulosuria - a rare genetic disease that has xylulose sugar in the urine.
4- Pancreatitis - an inflammation of the pancreas digestive-related areas may also affect the endocrine pancreas side.
5- Glucagonoma - a rare form of endocrine pancreatic cancer
Hidden causes of Diabetes may be incorrectly diagnosed:
* Metabolic syndrome - a syndrome with 4 key features (diabetes, hypertension, obesity/overweight, and high cholesterol).
* Insulin resistance
* Hemochromatosis - iron overload causes pancreas damage that can mimic Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes.
* Chronic pancreatitis - pancreas damage that can mimic diabetes.
* Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) - ovary cysts inhibit natural female hormones causing insulin resistance
* Carcinoid syndrome - glucose intolerance, protean manifestations, serotonin inhibits insulin production
