Here is your Diabetes Mellitus flashcard, compiled from multiple authoritative sources including Robbins Pathologic Basis of Disease, Guyton & Hall Medical Physiology, Goodman & Gilman's Pharmacology, The Harriet Lane Handbook, and Quick Compendium of Clinical Pathology.

Key highlights:

Classification covers all 4 WHO/ADA categories: T1DM, T2DM, Gestational, and Secondary/Other causes
Diagnostic criteria reflect current ADA standards - any single criterion (confirmed on a separate day if asymptomatic) is sufficient
Prediabetes thresholds are included for comparison
Complications are split into micro- vs. macrovascular, plus the two major acute emergencies (DKA in T1DM, HHS in T2DM)
Treatment follows the stepwise T2DM algorithm with SGLT-2 inhibitors and GLP-1 agonists as preferred add-ons, especially when cardiovascular or renal disease is present
HbA1c reflects 3-month average glucose; unreliable in hemolytic anemias or sickle cell disease
