Secondary Diabetes
Secondary Diabetes is used to describe several conditions that can give rise to diabetes.
In many such cases, the diabetes is a secondary condition that results from another disease, medication or chemical. Among the causes of secondary diabetes are:
 |
Pancreatic diseases (especially chronic pancreatitis in alcoholics) |
|
Hormonal abnormalities (including ones that result from the administration of steroids) |
|
Insulin-receptor disorders |
|
Drug or chemical-induced diabetes |
|
Certain genetic syndromes |
|
Certain prescription drugs may increase blood sugar levels to abnormally high levels. Examples are: |
 |
Glucocorticoids (used as anti-inflammatories) |
|
Furosemide (a diuretic, used in blood pressure control) |
|
Thiazide diuretics (used in blood-pressure control) |
|
Estrogen-containing products (such as oral contraceptives and hormone replacement therapy) |
|
Beta blockers (used to treat heart disorders) |
