Secondary Types of Diabetes
By editor | July 5, 2007
Secondary types of diabetes are due to a number of causes or states, such as injury to or surgical removal of the pancreas. Additional causes are associated with inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis) or elevated plasma iron associated with an enlarged liver, pigmentation of the skin, and (frequently) cardiac failure. Hormonal diseases such as Cushing’s disease (puffy red face) or acromegaly (large face, long arms and hands) may also cause diabetes.
