There are four main types of Diabetes mellitus: type 1, type 2, gestational, and mixed diabetes, but there are a number of older names associated with each of these types. Diabetes insipidus is an uncommon condition that's not related to diabetes mellitus at all. However, it's also associated with a large urine output when the disease is poorly controlled.

Type 1 diabetes used to be called "juvenile diabetes." That's because it's usually diagnosed in people under the age of 40. It's also been called "insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus" (IDDM). Only 5-10% of all diabetics are type 1, and this type of diabetes is often more difficult to treat than the other types of diabetes. It cannot be cured, nor can it be managed by diet, exercise, or medication. People who have this type of diabetes do not make any of their own insulin. Their own bodies have attacked and killed the cells in the pancreas which produce insulin, so this type of diabetes is tested by checking whether a person has the antibodies for these cells. People with type 1 diabetes have to take insulin shots or use a pump, which puts insulin in their body through a small plastic tube that they put in like a shot into their stromach, leg or bottom and change every three days. Without insulin, these people would die.

Type 2 diabetes is more common than type 1 but it's also a serious condition.. It's also called adult-onset diabetes, because most people diagnosed with this disease used to be older than 40. That's changing now, as children and adolescents are being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in ever-increasing rates. Type 2 diabetes has also been called "obesity-related diabetes," "insulin-resistent diabetes," and "non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus" or NIDDM. Risk factors for this disease are obesity and inactivity, but people who are neither overweight or inactive are sometimes diagnosed with this type of diabetes. People with this diabetes have a pancreas that makes insulin, but their body's cells don't use it properly. This type of diabetes can often be controlled with diet, exercise, and if needed, medication. Some people with this type of diabetes, though, need to monitor their glucose very carefully and take insulin shots, just like people with type 1 do.

A third type of diabetes is called gestational diabetes. It is found in some non-diabetic pregnant women, and all pregnant women in the United States are tested for this condition. Like type-2 diabetes, it can be controlled with diet and exercise, and it often ends when the pregnancy does. However, people who have had gestational diabetes are at greater risk for developing type 2 diabetes.

The final type of diabetes mellitus is called "hybrid" or "mixed" diabetes. It's also sometimes called "double diabetes," though it's not twice as dangerous as type 1 or type 2 diabetes. People with this type of diabetes have both insulin resistance and antibodies against insulin-producing cells. They are sometimes treated with diet, exercise, and medication, and sometimes with that and insulin injections.

Diabetes insipidus is caused by a lack of the hormone ADH, also called vasopressin, which helps the kidneys conserve water when they filter blood. People with this disease have to always be alert for dehydration and make sure to drink enough fluids. Some people are prescribed vasopressin as a pill or in a nasal spray. Often diabetes insipidus is caused by another underlying condition which needs to be treated with medication.

Type 1 diabetes is also known as Juvenile Diabetes because it is usually first recognized in children. Type 2 diabetes is also referred to as Adult Onset Diabetes because it is usually a result of insulin resistance that gradually increases and has identifiable risk factors such as obesity and high carbohydrate diets.

NIDDM (Non Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus). But note that over time, this type of diabetes can indeed become insulin-dependent.
