- - - - 2: Insulin Resistant
        
        decreased insulin production and poor tissue response to insulin
        
        :star: obesity
        
        chronic pancreatitis
        
        cats (>5yrs)
      - 1: Insulin Deficient
        
        dogs (7-9 yrs)
        
        hypoplasia or destruction of beta cells
        
        genetic factors
        
        concurrent disease (Cushing's)
        
        :unlock: Cortisol raises blood sugar and generally counteracts the action of insulin, leading to reduced insulin sensitivity and altered insulin secretion
        
        obesity
        
        pancreatitis
        
        :unlock:injury to beta cells
        
        drug therapy antagonizing insulin
        
        increased exogenous glucocorticoids
        
        :unlock: Glucocorticoids (such as cortisol, prednisone, or dexamethasone) cause insulin resistance and raise blood sugar levels by opposing the actions of insulin across multiple organs
        
        immune-mediated
