E15-E16: Other disorders of glucose regulation and pancreatic internal secretion
The group of conditions classified under "Other disorders of glucose regulation and pancreatic internal secretion" typically relate to issues that affect the way the body regulates blood sugar and the hormones produced by the pancreas, excluding diabetes. These disorders can arise due to various reasons, such as genetic mutations, pancreatic diseases, hormonal imbalances, and certain medications. Common symptoms can range from fatigue, excessive hunger or thirst, frequent urination, and unexplained weight changes. These conditions can impact the way the body uses and stores energy, often causing fluctuations in blood sugar levels. If not managed properly, these conditions can progress over time and lead to complications like heart disease, kidney damage, and nerve damage. It is important to understand that these disorders are a spectrum of conditions and may present differently in each person.
