with hyperglycemia due to destruction of pancreatic
cL = </= 2.5 beta cells. 10-20% of cases; appears often in children

cH = >/= 25.0 exogenous insulin; patients much more prone to
frequent ketoacidosis

Glucose (random; criticals) - 3.3 - 11.0 mmol/L

cL = <\= 2.5 type 2 diabetes mellitus - Due to insulin resistance, the


secreted levels are insufficient to meet the body's needs

eating. Ketoacidosis is rare, but hyperosmolar states
