Neonatal diabetes mellitus - what does this mean
Neonatal diabetes mellitus is an autoimmune disorder that occurs in newborns and is caused by an immune system attack on the pancreas, which leads to a reduced production of insulin. this results in high blood sugar levels, which can cause serious health problems for the baby.
What happens during the disease - neonatal diabetes mellitus
Neonatal diabetes mellitus is a rare form of diabetes that occurs in newborns and infants. it is caused by an abnormality in the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas, resulting in an inability to produce enough insulin to regulate blood glucose levels. this can lead to hyperglycemia, a condition in which there is too much sugar in the blood. other possible causes include genetic defects, viral infections, and autoimmune disorders.
