Underlying conditions of Diabetes:

occasionally the real cause of diabetes is an underlying condition.

by treating an underlying condition (e.g. hemochromatosis).

Discussion of underlying conditions of Diabetes:
"Other specific types" of diabetes result from specific genetic
syndromes, surgery, drugs, malnutrition, infections, and other illnesses.
Such types of diabetes may account for 1 to 2 percent of all diagnosed
cases of diabetes.
(Source: excerpt from Diabetes Statistics in the United States: NIDDK)
About underlying conditions:
With a diagnosis of Diabetes,
it is important to consider
whether there is an underlying condition causing Diabetes.
These are other medical conditions that may possibly
cause Diabetes.
