What causes diabetes mellitus, type 2?
The exact cause of diabetes mellitus type 2 remains unclear, but factors that have been suggested include: a defective metabolism of body fat (abnormalities in the action of insulin), the development of pancreatic autoimmunity, or abnormal endocrine and metabolic functions. There are several theories regarding how diabetes mellitus type 2 causes chronic low insulin production. However, as little is actually known about this disease due to its rarity, progress in the diagnosis, and treatment of the condition are difficult. It is most likely that both inherited and acquired factors play some roles in the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The diagnosis usually comes after several years of high blood sugar and frequent checking with diabetic tests.
What are the signs of diabetes mellitus, type 2?
Signs of diabetes mellitus, type 2 include a decreased ability to see or think clearly, a loss of feeling in the feet, frequent urination and excessive thirst.

In the treatment of hypercholesterolaemia, there appears to be little or no difference in the efficacy and safety of the capsule form and ec tab aspirin 80 mg tablets. The ec tab is therefore preferred to the capsule form for these indications.
What are the common side effects of aspirin 80 mg ec tab?
It appears that the major side effects are gastrointestinal, whereas a few more minor ones are also present, but occur less often. The side effects recorded in our study (for example, dyspepsia, gastritis, colitis) are not necessarily due to aspirin and are not listed in the drug information sheets. However, as our study cannot refute a possible causality, one should read the information sheets thoroughly before taking aspirin. In case of gastrointestinal side effects after initiation of treatment with ASA, or of GI problems after treatment is discontinued, in particular during the first week of treatment, a re-evaluation of the effectiveness and mode of action of the specific treatment is required.
How serious can diabetes mellitus, type 2 be?
In terms of life expectancy, DM2 may be a [little less] serious condition than other conditions with significant morbidity and mortality, such as myocardial infarction and cancer. However, DM2 does confer a higher risk of mortality in the first 10 years following diagnosis. Additionally, with careful medical management, DM2 can improve long-term outcome, which makes its treatment less urgent.
