Diabetes
Diabetes mellitus
Diabetes mellitus (pronounced /ˌdaɪ.əˈbiːtiːz/ or /ˌdaɪ.əˈbiːtɨs/; /mɨˈlaɪtəs/ or /ˈmɛlɨtəs/)—often referred to simply as diabetes—is a disease in which the body does not produce enough, or properly respond to, insulin, a hormone produced in the pancreas. Insulin is needed to turn sugar and other food into energy. In diabetes, the body either doesn't make enough insulin or can't use its own insulin as well as it should, or both. This causes sugar to accumulate in the blood, often leading to various complications.[2][3] The American Diabetes Association reported in 2009 that there are 23.6 million children and adults in the United States—7.8% of the population, who have diabetes. While an estimated 17.9 million in the US alone have been diagnosed with diabetes, nearly one in four (5.7 million) diabetics are unaware that they have the disease.[3]
Many types of diabetes are recognized:[3] The principal three are:
Type 1: Results from the body's failure to produce insulin. It is estimated that 5-10% of Americans who are diagnosed with diabetes have type 1 diabetes. Presently almost all persons with type 1 diabetes must take insulin injections.
Type 2: Results from a condition in which the body fails to use insulin properly, combined with relative insulin deficiency. Most Americans who are diagnosed with diabetes have type 2 diabetes. Many people destined to develop type 2 diabetes spend many years in a state of Pre-diabetes: Termed "America's largest healthcare epidemic,"[4]:10-11, a condition that occurs when a person's blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not high enough for a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. As of 2009 there are 57 million Americans who have pre-diabetes.[5]
Gestational diabetes: Pregnant women who have never had diabetes before but who have high blood sugar (glucose) levels during pregnancy are said to have gestational diabetes. Gestational diabetes affects about 4% of all pregnant women. It may precede development of type 2 (or rarely type 1).
Many other forms of diabetes mellitus are categorized separately from these. Examples include congenital diabetes due to genetic defects of insulin secretion, cystic fibrosis-related diabetes, steroid diabetes induced by high doses of glucocorticoids, and several forms of monogenic diabetes.
All forms of diabetes have been treatable since insulin became medically available in 1921, but there is no cure for the common types except a pancreas transplant, although gestational diabetes usually resolves after delivery. Diabetes and its treatments can cause many complications. Acute complications including hypoglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis, or nonketotic hyperosmolar coma may occur if the disease is not adequately controlled. Serious long-term complications include cardiovascular disease, chronic renal failure, retinal damage, which can lead to blindness, several types of nerve damage, and microvascular damage, which may cause erectile dysfunction and poor wound healing. Poor healing of wounds, particularly of the feet, can lead to gangrene, and possibly to amputation. Adequate treatment of diabetes, as well as increased emphasis on blood pressure control and lifestyle factors such as not smoking and maintaining a healthy body weight, may improve the risk profile of most of the chronic complications. In the developed world, diabetes is the most significant cause of adult blindness in the non-elderly and the leading cause of non-traumatic amputation in adults, and diabetic nephropathy is the main illness requiring renal dialysis in the United States.[6]
Classification
The term diabetes, without qualification, usually refers to diabetes mellitus, which is associated with excessive sweet urine (known as "glycosuria") but there are several rarer conditions also named diabetes. The most common of these is diabetes insipidus in which the urine is not sweet (insipidus meaning "without taste" in Latin); it can be caused either by kidney (nephrogenic DI) or pituitary gland (central DI) damage. It is a noninfectious disease. Among the body systems affected are the nerve, digestive, circulatory, endocrine and urinary systems.
The term "type 1 diabetes" has universally replaced several former terms, including childhood-onset diabetes, juvenile diabetes, and insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). Likewise, the term "type 2 diabetes" has replaced several former terms, including adult-onset diabetes, obesity-related diabetes, and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). Beyond these two types, there is no agreed-upon standard nomenclature. Various sources have defined "type 3 diabetes" as, among others, gestational diabetes,[7] insulin-resistant type 1 diabetes (or "double diabetes"), type 2 diabetes which has progressed to require injected insulin, and latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (or LADA or "type 1.5" diabetes.[8])
Type 1 diabetes
Main article: Diabetes mellitus type 1
Type 1 diabetes mellitus is characterized by loss of the insulin-producing beta cells of the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas leading to a deficiency of insulin. This type of diabetes can be further classified as immune-mediated or idiopathic. The majority of type 1 diabetes is of the immune-mediated variety, where beta cell loss is a T-cell mediated autoimmune attack.[2] There is no known preventive measure which can be taken against type 1 diabetes; it is about 10% of diabetes mellitus cases in North America and Europe (though this varies by geographical location), and is a higher percentage in some other areas. Most affected people are otherwise healthy and of a healthy weight when onset occurs. Sensitivity and responsiveness to insulin are usually normal, especially in the early stages. Type 1 diabetes can affect children or adults but was traditionally termed "juvenile diabetes" because it represents a majority of the diabetes cases in children.
The principal treatment of type 1 diabetes, even in its earliest stages, is the delivery of artificial insulin via injection combined with careful monitoring of blood glucose levels using blood testing monitors. Without insulin, diabetic ketoacidosis often develops which may result in coma or death. Treatment emphasis is now also placed on lifestyle adjustments (diet and exercise) though these cannot reverse the progress of the disease. Apart from the common subcutaneous injections, it is also possible to deliver insulin by a pump, which allows continuous infusion of insulin 24 hours a day at preset levels, and the ability to program doses (a bolus) of insulin as needed at meal times. An inhaled form of insulin was approved by the FDA in January 2006, although it was discontinued for business reasons in October 2007.[9][10] Non-insulin treatments, such as monoclonal antibodies and stem-cell based therapies, are effective in animal models but have not yet completed clinical trials in humans.[11]
Type 1 treatment must be continued indefinitely in essentially all cases. Treatment need not significantly impair normal activities, if sufficient patient training, awareness, appropriate care, discipline in testing and dosing of insulin is taken. However, treatment is burdensome for patients; insulin is replaced in a non-physiological manner, and this approach is therefore far from ideal. The average glucose level for the type 1 patient should be as close to normal (80–120 mg/dl, 4–6 mmol/l) as is safely possible. Some physicians suggest up to 140–150 mg/dl (7-7.5 mmol/l) for those having trouble with lower values, such as frequent hypoglycemic events. Values above 400 mg/dl (20 mmol/l) are sometimes accompanied by discomfort and frequent urination leading to dehydration. Values above 600 mg/dl (30 mmol/l) usually require medical treatment and may lead to ketoacidosis, although they are not immediately life-threatening. However, low levels of blood glucose, called hypoglycemia, may lead to seizures or episodes of unconsciousness and absolutely must be treated immediately, via emergency high-glucose gel placed in the patient's mouth, intravenous administration of dextrose, or an injection of glucagon.
[edit] Type 2 diabetes
Main article: Diabetes mellitus type 2
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is characterized differently and is due to insulin resistance or reduced insulin sensitivity, combined with relatively reduced insulin secretion which in some cases becomes absolute. The defective responsiveness of body tissues to insulin almost certainly involves the insulin receptor in cell membranes. However, the specific defects are not known. Diabetes mellitus due to a known specific defect are classified separately. Type 2 diabetes is the most common type.
In the early stage of type 2 diabetes, the predominant abnormality is reduced insulin sensitivity, characterized by elevated levels of insulin in the blood. At this stage hyperglycemia can be reversed by a variety of measures and medications that improve insulin sensitivity or reduce glucose production by the liver. As the disease progresses, the impairment of insulin secretion worsens, and therapeutic replacement of insulin often becomes necessary.
There are numerous theories as to the exact cause and mechanism in type 2 diabetes. Central obesity (fat concentrated around the waist in relation to abdominal organs, but not subcutaneous fat) is known to predispose individuals to insulin resistance. Abdominal fat is especially active hormonally, secreting a group of hormones called adipokines that may possibly impair glucose tolerance. Obesity is found in approximately 55% of patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.[12] Other factors include aging (about 20% of elderly patients in North America have diabetes) and family history (type 2 is much more common in those with close relatives who have had it). In the last decade, type 2 diabetes has increasingly begun to affect children and adolescents, probably in connection with the increased prevalence of childhood obesity seen in recent decades in some places.[13] Environmental exposures may contribute to recent increases in the rate of type 2 diabetes. A positive correlation has been found between the concentration in the urine of bisphenol A, a constituent of polycarbonate plastic from some producers, and the incidence of type 2 diabetes.[14]
Type 2 diabetes may go unnoticed for years because visible symptoms are typically mild, non-existent or sporadic, and usually there are no ketoacidotic episodes. However, severe long-term complications can result from unnoticed type 2 diabetes, including renal failure due to diabetic nephropathy, vascular disease (including coronary artery disease), vision damage due to diabetic retinopathy, loss of sensation or pain due to diabetic neuropathy, liver damage from non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and heart failure from diabetic cardiomyopathy.
Type 2 diabetes is usually first treated by increasing physical activity, decreasing carbohydrate intake, and losing weight. These can restore insulin sensitivity even when the weight loss is modest, for example around 5 kg (10 to 15 lb), most especially when it is in abdominal fat deposits. It is sometimes possible to achieve long-term, satisfactory glucose control with these measures alone. However, the underlying tendency to insulin resistance is not lost, and so attention to diet, exercise, and weight loss must continue. The usual next step, if necessary, is treatment with oral antidiabetic drugs. Insulin production is initially only moderately impaired in type 2 diabetes, so oral medication (often used in various combinations) can be used to improve insulin production (e.g., sulfonylureas), to regulate inappropriate release of glucose by the liver and attenuate insulin resistance to some extent (e.g., metformin), and to substantially attenuate insulin resistance (e.g., thiazolidinediones). According to one study, overweight patients treated with metformin compared with diet alone, had relative risk reductions of 32% for any diabetes endpoint, 42% for diabetes related death and 36% for all cause mortality and stroke.[15] Oral medication may eventually fail due to further impairment of beta cell insulin secretion. At this point, insulin therapy is necessary to maintain normal or near normal glucose levels.
[edit] Gestational diabetes
Main article: Gestational diabetes
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) resembles type 2 diabetes in several respects, involving a combination of relatively inadequate insulin secretion and responsiveness. It occurs in about 2%–5% of all pregnancies and may improve or disappear after delivery. Gestational diabetes is fully treatable but requires careful medical supervision throughout the pregnancy. About 20%–50% of affected women develop type 2 diabetes later in life.
Even though it may be transient, untreated gestational diabetes can damage the health of the fetus or mother. Risks to the baby include macrosomia (high birth weight), congenital cardiac and central nervous system anomalies, and skeletal muscle malformations. Increased fetal insulin may inhibit fetal surfactant production and cause respiratory distress syndrome. Hyperbilirubinemia may result from red blood cell destruction. In severe cases, perinatal death may occur, most commonly as a result of poor placental perfusion due to vascular impairment. Induction may be indicated with decreased placental function. A cesarean section may be performed if there is marked fetal distress or an increased risk of injury associated with macrosomia, such as shoulder dystocia.
A 2008 study completed in the U.S. found that more American women are entering pregnancy with preexisting diabetes. In fact the rate of diabetes in expectant mothers has more than doubled in the past 6 years.[16] This is particularly problematic as diabetes raises the risk of complications during pregnancy, as well as increasing the potential that the children of diabetic mothers will also become diabetic in the future.
[edit] Other types
Most cases of diabetes mellitus fall into the two broad etiologic categories of type 1 or type 2 diabetes. However, many types of diabetes mellitus have more specific known causes, and thus fall into more specific categories. As more research is done into diabetes, many patients who were previously diagnosed as type 1 or type 2 diabetes will have their condition reclassified.
Some cases of diabetes are caused by the body's tissue receptors not responding to insulin (even when insulin levels are normal, which is what separates it from type 2 diabetes); this form is very uncommon. Genetic mutations (autosomal or mitochondrial) can lead to defects in beta cell function. Abnormal insulin action may also have been genetically determined in some cases. Any disease that causes extensive damage to the pancreas may lead to diabetes (for example, chronic pancreatitis and cystic fibrosis). Diseases associated with excessive secretion of insulin-antagonistic hormones can cause diabetes (which is typically resolved once the hormone excess is removed). Many drugs impair insulin secretion and some toxins damage pancreatic beta cells. The ICD-10 (1992) diagnostic entity, malnutrition-related diabetes mellitus (MRDM or MMDM, ICD-10 code E12), was deprecated by the World Health Organization when the current taxonomy was introduced in 1999.[17]
Signs and symptoms
The classical symptoms are polyuria and polydipsia which are, respectively, frequent urination and increased thirst and consequent increased fluid intake. Symptoms may develop quite rapidly (weeks or months) in type 1 diabetes, particularly in children. However, in type 2 diabetes symptoms usually develop much more slowly and may be subtle or completely absent. Type 1 diabetes may also cause a rapid yet significant weight loss (despite normal or even increased eating) and irreducible mental fatigue. All of these symptoms except weight loss can also manifest in type 2 diabetes in patients whose diabetes is poorly controlled, although unexplained weight loss may be experienced at the onset of the disease. Final diagnosis is made by measuring the blood glucose concentration.
When the glucose concentration in the blood is raised beyond its renal threshold, reabsorption of glucose in the proximal renal tubuli is incomplete, and part of the glucose remains in the urine (glycosuria). This increases the osmotic pressure of the urine and inhibits reabsorption of water by the kidney, resulting in increased urine production (polyuria) and increased fluid loss. Lost blood volume will be replaced osmotically from water held in body cells and other body compartments, causing dehydration and increased thirst.
Prolonged high blood glucose causes glucose absorption, which leads to changes in the shape of the lenses of the eyes, resulting in vision changes; sustained sensible glucose control usually returns the lens to its original shape. Blurred vision is a common complaint leading to a diabetes diagnosis; type 1 should always be suspected in cases of rapid vision change, whereas with type 2 change is generally more gradual, but should still be suspected.
Patients (usually with type 1 diabetes) may also initially present with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), an extreme state of metabolic dysregulation characterized by the smell of acetone on the patient's breath; a rapid, deep breathing known as Kussmaul breathing; polyuria; nausea; vomiting and abdominal pain; and any of many altered states of consciousness or arousal (such as hostility and mania or, equally, confusion and lethargy). In severe DKA, coma may follow, progressing to death. Diabetic ketoacidosis is a medical emergency and requires immediate hospitalization.
A rarer but equally severe possibility is hyperosmolar nonketotic state, which is more common in type 2 diabetes and is mainly the result of dehydration due to loss of body water. Often, the patient has been drinking extreme amounts of sugar-containing drinks, leading to a vicious circle in regard to the water loss.
Diagnosis
The diagnosis of type 1 diabetes, and many cases of type 2, is usually prompted by recent-onset symptoms of excessive urination (polyuria) and excessive thirst (polydipsia), often accompanied by weight loss. These symptoms typically worsen over days to weeks; about a quarter of people with new type 1 diabetes have developed some degree of diabetic ketoacidosis by the time the diabetes is recognized. The diagnosis of other types of diabetes is usually made in other ways. These include ordinary health screening; detection of hyperglycemia during other medical investigations; and secondary symptoms such as vision changes or unexplainable fatigue. Diabetes is often detected when a person suffers a problem that is frequently caused by diabetes, such as a heart attack, stroke, neuropathy, poor wound healing or a foot ulcer, certain eye problems, certain fungal infections, or delivering a baby with macrosomia or hypoglycemia.
Diabetes mellitus is characterized by recurrent or persistent hyperglycemia, and is diagnosed by demonstrating any one of the following:[17]
Fasting plasma glucose level at or above 126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/l).
Plasma glucose at or above 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/l) two hours after a 75 g oral glucose load as in a glucose tolerance test.
Symptoms of hyperglycemia and casual plasma glucose at or above 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/l).
A positive result, in the absence of unequivocal hyperglycemia, should be confirmed by a repeat of any of the above-listed methods on a different day. Most physicians prefer to measure a fasting glucose level because of the ease of measurement and the considerable time commitment of formal glucose tolerance testing, which takes two hours to complete and offers no prognostic advantage over the fasting test.[22] According to the current definition, two fasting glucose measurements above 126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/l) is considered diagnostic for diabetes mellitus.
Patients with fasting glucose levels from 100 to 125 mg/dL (6.1 and 7.0 mmol/l) are considered to have impaired fasting glucose. Patients with plasma glucose at or above 140 mg/dL or 7.8 mmol/l, but not over 200, two hours after a 75 g oral glucose load are considered to have impaired glucose tolerance. Of these two pre-diabetic states, the latter in particular is a major risk factor for progression to full-blown diabetes mellitus as well as cardiovascular disease.[23]
While not used for diagnosis, an elevated level of glucose irreversibly bound to hemoglobin (termed glycosylated hemoglobin or HbA1c) of 6.0% or higher (the 2003 revised U.S. standard) is considered abnormal by most labs; HbA1c is primarily used as a treatment-tracking test reflecting average blood glucose levels over the preceding 90 days (approximately) which is the average lifetime of red blood cells which contain hemoglobin in most patients. However, some physicians may order this test at the time of diagnosis to track changes over time. The current recommended goal for HbA1c in patients with diabetes is 6.5%.
Screening
Diabetes screening is recommended for many people at various stages of life, and for those with any of several risk factors. The screening test varies according to circumstances and local policy, and may be a random blood glucose test, a fasting blood glucose test, a blood glucose test two hours after 75 g of glucose, or an even more formal glucose tolerance test. Many healthcare providers recommend universal screening for adults at age 40 or 50, and often periodically thereafter. Earlier screening is typically recommended for those with risk factors such as obesity, family history of diabetes, high-risk ethnicity (Hispanic, Native American, Afro-Caribbean, Pacific Islander).[26][27]
Many medical conditions are associated with diabetes and warrant screening. A partial list includes: high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol levels, coronary artery disease, past gestational diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome, chronic pancreatitis, fatty liver, hemochromatosis, cystic fibrosis, several mitochondrial neuropathies and myopathies, myotonic dystrophy, Friedreich's ataxia, some of the inherited forms of neonatal hyperinsulinism. The risk of diabetes is higher with chronic use of several medications, including high-dose glucocorticoids, some chemotherapy agents (especially L-asparaginase), as well as some of the antipsychotics and mood stabilizers (especially phenothiazines and some atypical antipsychotics).
People with a confirmed diagnosis of diabetes are tested routinely for complications. This includes yearly urine testing for microalbuminuria and examination of the retina of the eye for retinopathy.
Prevention
Type 1 diabetes risk is known to depend upon a genetic predisposition based on HLA types (particularly types DR3 and DR4), an unknown environmental trigger (suspected to be an infection, although none has proven definitive in all cases), and an uncontrolled autoimmune response that attacks the insulin producing beta cells.[28] Some research has suggested that breastfeeding decreased the risk in later life;[29][30] various other nutritional risk factors are being studied, but no firm evidence has been found.[31] Giving children 2000 IU of Vitamin D during their first year of life is associated with reduced risk of type 1 diabetes, though the causal relationship is obscure.[32]
Children with antibodies to beta cell proteins (ie at early stages of an immune reaction to them) but no overt diabetes, and treated with vitamin B-3 (niacin), had less than half the diabetes onset incidence in a 7-year time span as did the general population, and an even lower incidence relative to those with antibodies as above, but who received no vitamin B3.[33]
Type 2 diabetes risk can be reduced in many cases by making changes in diet and increasing physical activity.[34][35] The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends maintaining a healthy weight, getting at least 2½ hours of exercise per week (several brisk sustained walks appear sufficient), having a modest fat intake, and eating sufficient fiber (e.g., from whole grains). The ADA does not recommend alcohol consumption as a preventive, but it is interesting to note that moderate alcohol intake may reduce the risk (though heavy consumption absolutely and clearly increases damage to bodily systems significantly); a similarly confused connection between low dose alcohol consumption and heart disease is termed the French Paradox.
There is inadequate evidence that eating foods of low glycemic index is clinically helpful despite recommendations and suggested diets emphasizing this approach.[36]
There are numerous studies which suggest connections between some aspects of Type II diabetes with ingestion of certain foods or with some drugs. Some studies have shown delayed progression to diabetes in predisposed patients through prophylactic use of metformin,[35] rosiglitazone,[37] or valsartan.[38] In patients on hydroxychloroquine for rheumatoid arthritis, incidence of diabetes was reduced by 77% though causal mechanisms are unclear.[39] Breastfeeding may also be associated with the prevention of type 2 of the disease in mothers.[40] Clear evidence for these and any of many other connections between foods and supplements and diabetes is sparse to date; none, despite secondary claims for (or against), is sufficiently well established to justify as a standard clinical approach.
Treatment and management
Main article: Diabetes management
Diabetes mellitus is currently a chronic disease with no cure. Medical emphasis must necessarily be on managing/avoiding possible short-term as well as long-term diabetes-related problems. There is an exceptionally important role for patient education, dietetic support, sensible exercise, self monitoring of blood glucose, with the goal of keeping both short-term and long-term blood glucose levels within acceptable bounds. Careful control is needed to reduce the risk of long term complications. This is theoretically achievable with combinations of diet, exercise and weight loss (type 2), various oral diabetic drugs (type 2 only), and insulin use (type 1 and for type 2 not responding to oral medications, mostly those with extended duration diabetes). In addition, given the associated higher risks of cardiovascular disease, lifestyle modifications should be undertaken to control blood pressure[41] and cholesterol by exercising more, smoking less or ideally not at all, consuming an appropriate diet, wearing diabetic socks, wearing diabetic shoes, and if necessary, taking any of several drugs to reduce blood pressure. Many type 1 treatments include combination use of regular or NPH insulin, and/or synthetic insulin analogs (e.g., Humalog, Novolog or Apidra) in combinations such as Lantus/Levemir and Humalog, Novolog or Apidra. Another type 1 treatment option is the use of the insulin pump (e.g., from Deltec Cozmo, Animas, Medtronic Minimed, Insulet Omnipod, or ACCU-CHEK). A blood lancet is used to pierce the skin (typically of a finger), in order to draw blood to test it for sugar levels.
In countries using a general practitioner system, such as the United Kingdom, care may take place mainly outside hospitals, with hospital-based specialist care used only in case of complications, difficult blood sugar control, or research projects. In other circumstances, general practitioners and specialists share care of a patient in a team approach. Optometrists, podiatrists/chiropodists, dietitians, physiotherapists, nursing specialists (e.g., DSNs (Diabetic Specialist Nurse)), nurse practitioners, or Certified Diabetes Educators, may jointly provide multidisciplinary expertise. In countries where patients must provide their own health care (i.e., in the developed world, the US, and in much of the undeveloped world), the impact of out-of-pocket costs of adequate diabetic care can be very high. In addition to the medications and supplies needed, patients are often advised to receive regular consultation from a physician (e.g., at least every three to six months).
Oral administration of aloe vera might be a useful adjunct for lowering blood glucose in diabetic patients as well as for reducing blood lipid levels in patients with hyperlipidaemia. Ten controlled clinical trials were found to reach that conclusion in four independent literature searches. However, caveats reported in each study led the researchers to conclude that aloe vera's clinical effectiveness was not yet sufficiently defined in 1999.[42]
Peer support links people living with diabetes. Within peer support, people with a common illness share knowledge and experience that others, including many health workers, do not have. Peer support is frequent, ongoing, accessible and flexible and can take many forms—phone calls, text messaging, group meetings, home visits, and even grocery shopping. It complements and enhances other health care services by creating the emotional, social and practical assistance necessary for managing disease and staying healthy
History
The term diabetes (Greek: διαβήτης, diabētēs) was coined by Aretaeus of Cappadocia. It was derived from the Greek verb διαβαίνειν, diabaínein, itself formed from the prefix dia-, "across, apart," and the verb bainein, "to walk, stand." The verb diabeinein meant "to stride, walk, or stand with legs asunder"; hence, its derivative diabētēs meant "one that straddles," or specifically "a compass, siphon." The sense "siphon" gave rise to the use of diabētēs as the name for a disease involving the discharge of excessive amounts of urine. Diabetes is first recorded in English, in the form diabete, in a medical text written around 1425. In 1675, Thomas Willis added the word mellitus, from the Latin meaning "honey", a reference to the sweet taste of the urine. This sweet taste had been noticed in urine by the ancient Greeks, Chinese, Egyptians, Indians, and Persians. In 1776, Matthew Dobson confirmed that the sweet taste was because of an excess of a kind of sugar in the urine and blood of people with diabetes.[83]
Diabetes mellitus appears to have been a death sentence in the ancient era. Hippocrates makes no mention of it, which may indicate that he felt the disease was incurable. Aretaeus did attempt to treat it but could not give a good prognosis; he commented that "life (with diabetes) is short, disgusting and painful."[84]
Sushruta (6th century BCE) identified diabetes and classified it as Medhumeha.[85] He further identified it with obesity and sedentary lifestyle, advising exercises to help "cure" it.[85] The ancient Indians tested for diabetes by observing whether ants were attracted to a person's urine, and called the ailment "sweet urine disease" (Madhumeha). The Korean, Chinese, and Japanese words for diabetes are based on the same ideographs (糖尿病) which mean "sugar urine disease".
In medieval Persia, Avicenna (980-1037) provided a detailed account on diabetes mellitus in The Canon of Medicine, "describing the abnormal appetite and the collapse of sexual functions and he documented the sweet taste of diabetic urine." Like Aretaeus before him, Avicenna recognized a primary and secondary diabetes. He also described diabetic gangrene, and treated diabetes using a mixture of lupine, trigonella (fenugreek), and zedoary seed, which produces a considerable reduction in the excretion of sugar, a treatment which is still prescribed in modern times. Avicenna also "described diabetes insipidus very precisely for the first time", though it was later Johann Peter Frank (1745-1821) who first differentiated between diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus.[86]
Although diabetes has been recognized since antiquity, and treatments of various efficacy have been known in various regions since the Middle Ages, and in legend for much longer, pathogenesis of diabetes has only been understood experimentally since about 1900.[87] The discovery of a role for the pancreas in diabetes is generally ascribed to Joseph von Mering and Oskar Minkowski, who in 1889 found that dogs whose pancreas was removed developed all the signs and symptoms of diabetes and died shortly afterwards.[88] In 1910, Sir Edward Albert Sharpey-Schafer suggested that people with diabetes were deficient in a single chemical that was normally produced by the pancreas—he proposed calling this substance insulin, from the Latin insula, meaning island, in reference to the insulin-producing islets of Langerhans in the pancreas.[87]
The endocrine role of the pancreas in metabolism, and indeed the existence of insulin, was not further clarified until 1921, when Sir Frederick Grant Banting and Charles Herbert Best repeated the work of Von Mering and Minkowski, and went further to demonstrate they could reverse induced diabetes in dogs by giving them an extract from the pancreatic islets of Langerhans of healthy dogs.[89] Banting, Best, and colleagues (especially the chemist Collip) went on to purify the hormone insulin from bovine pancreases at the University of Toronto. This led to the availability of an effective treatment—insulin injections—and the first patient was treated in 1922. For this, Banting and laboratory director MacLeod received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1923; both shared their Prize money with others in the team who were not recognized, in particular Best and Collip. Banting and Best made the patent available without charge and did not attempt to control commercial production. Insulin production and therapy rapidly spread around the world, largely as a result of this decision. Banting is honored by World Diabetes Day which is held on his birthday, November 14.
The distinction between what is now known as type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes was first clearly made by Sir Harold Percival (Harry) Himsworth, and published in January 1936.[90]
Despite the availability of treatment, diabetes has remained a major cause of death. For instance, statistics reveal that the cause-specific mortality rate during 1927 amounted to about 47.7 per 100,000 population in Malta.[91]
Other landmark discoveries include:[87]
Identification of the first of the sulfonylureas in 1942
Reintroduction of the use of biguanides for Type 2 diabetes in the late 1950s. The initial phenformin was withdrawn worldwide (in the U.S. in 1977) due to its potential for sometimes fatal lactic acidosis and metformin was first marketed in France in 1979, but not until 1994 in the US.
The determination of the amino acid sequence of insulin (by Sir Frederick Sanger, for which he received a Nobel Prize)
The radioimmunoassay for insulin, as discovered by Rosalyn Yalow and Solomon Berson (gaining Yalow the 1977 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine)[92]
The three-dimensional structure of insulin (PDB 2INS)
Dr Gerald Reaven's identification of the constellation of symptoms now called metabolic syndrome in 1988
Demonstration that intensive glycemic control in type 1 diabetes reduces chronic side effects more as glucose levels approach 'normal' in a large longitudinal study,[93] and also in type 2 diabetics in other large studies
Identification of the first thiazolidinedione as an effective insulin sensitizer during the 1990s
In 1980, U.S. biotech company Genentech developed human insulin. The insulin is isolated from genetically altered bacteria (the bacteria contain the human gene for synthesizing human insulin), which produce large quantities of insulin. Scientists then purify the insulin and distribute it to pharmacies for use by diabetes patients.

Gadjet
GeForce is a brand of graphics processor units (GPUs) designed by Nvidia. As of 2009, there have been eleven iterations of the design. The first GeForce products were discrete GPUs designed for use on add-on graphics boards, intended for the high-margin PC gaming market. Later diversification of the product-line covered all tiers of the PC graphics market, from cost-sensitive motherboard-integrated GPUs to mainstream add-in retail-boards. Most recently, Geforce technology has been introduced into Nvidia's line of embedded application processors, designed for electronic handhelds and mobile handsets.
With respect to discrete GPUs, found in add-in graphics-boards, Nvidia's GeForce and ATI'sRadeon GPUs are the only remaining competitors in the high-end market. With the recent announcement of Larrabee, Intel has stated its intention to (eventually) compete in the same high-end GPU market as AMD and NVidia.
Along with its nearest competitor, the AMD (ATI) Radeon, the Geforce architecture is moving toward GPGPU (General Purpose-Graphics Processor Units.) GPGPU is expected to expand GPU-based acceleration beyond the traditional gaming and multimedia software, to content creation software such as image manipulation and video postprocessing, and high-performance computing (data analysis, scientific modeling.)
Generations
GeForce 256
Launched on August 31, 1999, the GeForce 256 (NV10) was the first PC graphics chip with hardware transform, lighting, and shadingalthough 3D games utilizing this feature did not appear until later. Initial GeForce 256 boards shipped with SDR SDRAM memory, and later boards shipped with faster DDR SDRAM memory.
GeForce2
Launched in April 2000, the first GeForce2 (NV15) was another high-performance graphics chip. Nvidia moved to a twin texture processor per pipeline (4x2) design, doubling texture fillrate per clock compared to GeForce 256. Later, Nvidia released the GeForce2 MX (NV11), which offered performance similar to the GeForce 256 but at a fraction of the cost. The MX was a compelling value in the low/mid-range market segments and was popular with OEM PC manufacturers and users alike.

GeForce3
Launched in February 2001, the GeForce3 (NV20) introduced DirectX 8.0 programmable pixel shaders to the GeForce family. It had good overall performance and shader support, making it popular with enthusiasts although it never hit the midrange price point. A derivative of the GeForce3, NV2A, was developed for the Microsoft Xbox game console.

GeForce4
Launched in February 2002, the high-end GeForce4 Ti (NV25) was mostly a refinement to the GeForce3. The biggest advancements included enhancements to anti-aliasing capabilities, an improved memory controller, a second vertex shader, and a manufacturing process size reduction to increase clock speeds. Another "family member," the budget GeForce4 MX, was based on the GeForce2, with a few additions from the new GeForce4 Ti line. It targeted the value segment of the market and lacked pixel shaders.

GeForce FX
Officially launched in November 2002, the GeForce FX (NV30) was a huge change in architecture compared to its predecessors. The GPU was designed not only to support the new Shader Model 2 specification but also to perform well on older DirectX 7 and 8 titles. However, initial models suffered from weak floating point shader performance and excessive heat which required two-slot cooling solutions. Products in this series carry the 5000 model number, as it is the fifth generation of the GeForce, though Nvidia marketed the cards as GeForce FX instead of GeForce 5 to show off "the dawn of cinematic rendering".

GeForce 7
The 7th generation GeForce (G70/NV47) was launched in June 2005. The design was a refined version of GeForce 6, with the major improvements being a widened pipeline and an increase in clock speed. The GeForce 7 also offers new transparency supersampling and transparency multisampling anti-aliasing modes (TSAA and TMAA). These new anti-aliasing modes were later enabled for the GeForce 6 series as well.
A modified version of GeForce 7800GTX called the RSX 'Reality Synthesizer' is used as the main GPU in the PlayStation 3 from Sony.

GeForce 8
Released on November 8, 2006, the 8th generation GeForce (G80 originally) was the first ever GPU to fully support DirectX 10. Built on a brand new architecture, manufactured in 80 nm, it has a fully unified shader architecture. Originally just the 8800GTX, the GTS was released months into the product line's life, and it took nearly 6 months for mid-range and OEM/mainstream cards to be integrated into the 8-series. The Die-shrink down to 65 nm and a revision to the G80 design, codenamed G92, were implemented into the 8 series with the 8800GS, the 8800GT, and 8800GTS-512. First released on October 29, 2007, almost one whole year after the initial G80 release.

GeForce 9
The first product was released on February 21, 2008.Not even four months elder than the initial G92 release, all 9-series designs, both currently-out and speculated, are simply revisions to existing late 8-series products. The 9800GX2 uses two G92 GPUs, as used in later 8800 cards, in a dual PCB configuration while still only requiring a single PCI-Express 16x slot. The 9800GX2 utilises two separate 256-bit memory busses, one for each GPU and its respective 512MB of memory, which equates to an overall of 1GB of memory on the card (although the SLI configuration of the chips necessitates mirroring the frame buffer between the two chips, thus effectively having the memory performance of a 256-bit/512MB configuration). The later 9800GTX features a single G92 GPU, 256-bit data bus, and 512MB of GDDR3 memory. Prior to the release, no concrete information was known except officials claiming the next generation products having close to 1 TFLOPS performance while the GPU cores still being manufactured in the 65 nm process, and reports about Nvidia downplaying the significance of DirectX 10.1.

GeForce 100 Series
On March 2009, several sources have reported that nVidia has quietly launched a new series of its flagship GeForce products, designated GeForce 100 Series, which consists of rebadged 9 Series parts. The only official source of information on GeForce 100 Series at this time is "nVidia GeForce Family" web page and corresponding product pages.According to this web page, GeForce 100 products are not available for individual purchase.

GeForce 200 Series
Based on the GT200 graphics processor consisting of 1.4 billion transistors, the 200 series was launched on 16 June 2008.The next generation of the GeForce series takes the card-naming scheme in a new direction, by replacing the series number (such as 8800 for 8-series cards) with the GTX or GTS suffix (which used to go at the end of card names, denoting their 'rank' among other similar models), and then adding model-numbers such as 260 and 280 after that. The series features the new GT200 core on a 65nm.The first products were the GeForce GTX 260 and the more expensive GeForce GTX 280.

纪念~麦可杰升(注:去世于2009年.6月.26号,享年50岁)
首先,先为这个早逝的巨星哀悼1分钟....Micheal Jackson(M.J)在80-90年代是一个耀眼的巨星.以下是他的一生~'
[编辑] 成長歷程
1960 年代與1970年代他以杰克逊5人组乐队（初期稱為 Jackson Five，轉公司後改為 The Jacksons）的主唱开始了他的音乐历程，并于1979年开始了个人独唱生涯，最終成為歷史上最成功的歌手之一。至今，他已在全世界销售了约7.5亿 张唱片，他的《戰慄》（Thriller）專輯更是音樂史上銷量最高的唱片，全球销量超過1.04亿张，成为人类史上至今销量最高的一张专辑。傑克遜一般 被與貓王、披頭四兩組歌手並列為流行樂史上最偉大的不朽象徵，並被誉为“流行音乐之王”（King of Pop）。傑克遜演唱事业的成功使他获得了全世界众多歌迷的支持与喜爱，包括他的歌曲和标志性的舞步。然而，近年來媒体更感兴趣的却是他肤色的变化和怪僻 的生活方式。
傑克遜曾获得许多音乐奖项，包括18届格林美奖。他在美国共创造了13首冠军单曲。单曲《Thriller》的音乐录影带被 誉为全世界“最伟大的音乐录影带”之一，并在音乐录影带的艺术性上“前进了一大步”。MTV台和滚石杂志最近将他的四首歌曲《Billie Jean》（第5名）、傑克遜5人组的《I Want You Back》（第9名）、《Beat It》（第23名）及《Rock with You》（第82名）选入“有史以来最受欢迎的100首流行歌曲”阵容。
除了他在音乐上辉煌的成就，傑克遜还被斯里兰卡的《星期日时报页 面星期日时报 (斯里兰卡)并不存在，英语维基百科对应页面为The Sunday Times (Sri Lanka)。》称为“慈善之王”，直至2006年，捐款达三亿美元。[1][2] 伦敦时间2009年3月5日，出席新闻发布会，宣布复出。并原定在7月8日[3]，开始复出演唱会。唯其於美国西部时间2009年6月25日因心脏突然停 止跳動陷入深度昏迷并被送往医院，后于下午宣告抢救无效死亡，终年50歲[4]。
[编辑] 家庭背景
傑克遜1958年出 生于印地安那州盖瑞市的一个黑人家庭中[5]，其父约瑟夫·杰克逊和母亲凯瑟琳有9个孩子，麥可排行第七。整个家庭包括兄姊瑞比、杰基、提托、杰梅因、拉 托雅和马龙，及弟妹兰迪和珍妮特.[6]，他们住在一所极小的两居室裡，杰克逊的父亲在一家钢厂工作并住在厂裡。杰克逊和他的兄弟姐妹们都说他们的父亲对 孩子非常苛刻，而且经常打骂他们。在一次电视采访中被问到这个情况时，杰克逊竟情绪失控哭泣起来。
杰克逊的兄弟姐妹们从小便对音乐表现出浓厚的兴趣，这使得他们的父亲日后产生了“造星”的念头，希望他们能在音乐界有所造诣。
[编辑] 音乐历程
[编辑] 杰克逊5人组乐队和摩城唱片公司
1960 年代中期，杰克逊5兄弟杰基、提托、杰梅因、马龙和迈克尔在父亲的组织下成立了演唱蓝调音乐的“杰克逊5人组”（Jacksons 5）。这个组合以迈克尔作为主唱，通过在俱乐部和酒吧演唱在美国中西部地区迅速崛起，甚至在纽约哈莱姆的阿波罗剧院举行的业余歌唱比赛中也获得了成 功。（据说如果他们如果演出失败就会遭到父亲的打骂。[5]）1967年，杰克逊5人组与本地的钢城唱片公司（Steeltown Records）签订了第一张唱片合约，并且有了一支地区打榜歌曲《Big Boy》。
杰克逊5人组在1968年由 Gladys Knight & the Pips 和 Bobby Taylor & the Vancouvers 发掘，并把他们带进摩城唱片（Motown Records）[5][7]。1969年，唱片公司总裁贝瑞·高蒂将他们从钢城唱片公司买出，乐队正式签约摩城唱片公司。高蒂随即把杰克逊家庭迁到洛杉 矶，并开始了他的造星计划。1969年秋，杰克逊5人组由戴安娜·罗斯引荐给公众，并在摩城的大型娱乐节目中首次表演。乐队的前4支单曲《I Want You Back》（1969年）、《ABC》、《The Love You Save》、及，I'll Be There》（1970年）先后成为冠军单曲[8]。后来的打榜歌曲还包括："Mama's Pearl"、"Never Can Say Goodbye" (1971年)、"Lookin' Through the Windows" (1972年)、"Get It Together" (1973年)和"Dancing Machine"(1974年)。杰克逊5人组的大部分打榜歌曲都由摩城公司制作，动用了众多的歌曲作者和唱片制作人，包括高蒂、弗雷迪·佩伦、埃尔丰 祖·米泽尔和狄克·理查兹等。
在摩城唱片公司，杰克逊5人组发行了14张专辑，并且迈克尔作为独唱歌手发行了4张个人专辑。在他的个人专 辑中，打榜歌曲包括《Got to Be There》 (1971年，首张个人专辑)、《Rockin' Robin》、《I wanna Be Where You Are"》及冠军歌曲《Ben》（均在1972年发行）。
[编辑] 杰克逊乐队和埃佩克唱片公司
1976 年，杰克逊兄弟与哥伦比亚唱片公司签订了协议[5]，先加入费城国际部，后来又转到该唱片公司旗下的埃佩克唱片公司（Epic Records）[9]。与哥伦比亚广播电台的新协议为他们提供了在摩城唱片公司所没有的更有创造性的自由和更大的版税。离开摩城唱片公司，他们失去了使 用“杰克逊5人组”的名字以及标志的权利[10]，再加上杰梅因娶了贝瑞·高蒂的女儿黑兹尔后，他选择了留在摩城公司做歌手。乐队改名“杰克逊乐队 ”（The Jacksons），并且让兰迪顶替了杰梅因在乐队中的位置[11]。杰克逊兄弟继续了他们的辉煌，在1976年到1984年间，他们不断参加巡回演出并 发行了6张专辑。这段时期的打榜歌曲包括《Enjoy Yourself》、《Show You The Way To Go》（1976年）、《Find Me A Girl》 （1977年）、《Blame It On The Boogie》 （1978年）、《Shake Your Body (Down To The Ground)》（1979年）、《Can You Feel It?》、《Heartbreak Hotel》[12]（1980年）、《Torture》和《State of Shock》（1984年）。
1978 年，杰克逊与戴安娜·罗斯一起出演电影《新绿野仙踪》中的角色，并且结识了电影的音乐制作人昆西·琼斯，他后来制作了杰克逊的三张经典的个人专辑：《牆 外》（Off the Wall），《戰慄》（Thriller）和《飆》（BAD）。发行于1979年的《墙外》专辑，产生了4首Top10歌曲并在美国卖出了700万张。
[编辑] 辉煌的独唱生涯
[编辑] 《牆外》专辑 Off The Wall
迈 克尔·杰克逊1979年的专辑《牆外》（Off The Wall，或译：瘋狂）一发行即大受欢迎。单曲“Rock With You”和“Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough”及其录影带更是屡登冠军单曲宝座[8]。另一首抒情歌曲“She's Out Of My Life”在1980年也杀进排行榜前十名。该专辑发行一年内全球销量超过1000万张，在美国专辑榜中逗留了84周之久[13]，成为杰克逊音乐生涯中 的重要转折。
20世纪80年代，杰克逊发行了一系列的制作精良的音乐专辑。在这段音乐电视的“黄金时期”裡，他的一些音乐电视实际上就是电影短片，有设计完整的故事情节，令人难忘的特效以及他独有的舞步。
[编辑] 《顫慄》专辑 Thriller
杰 克逊的《顫慄》（Thriller）专辑发行于1982年，其中有7首单曲进入过美国流行音乐排行榜的前十名，打破了多项唱片记录并迅速狂銷于全世界（到 2005年止，全球售出超过6000万张），成为音乐史上最暢銷的唱片。其中“Billie Jean”的音乐电视成为了首部在 MTV 频道播放的由黑人歌手表演的视频节目。单曲“Thriller”的录影带长达13分钟，成为当时各大电视台争相播放的音乐录影带，短片《迈克尔·杰克逊 “Thriller”的制作过程》成为了当时最为热销的家庭录影。这张专辑占据美国音乐排行榜冠军位置37周，并在专辑榜内停留长达122周之久，更是歷 史上唯一連續兩年拿下年度冠軍的唱片。如今在美国，它被鉴定为27白金唱片[14]；在英国也获得11白金认证[15]。专辑中的“Billie Jean”和“Thriller”以及“Beat It”三首音乐电视作品，已经成为MTV频道历史上最重要的三支音乐录影带。专辑中的另外两首单曲“Human Nature”和“P.Y.T.(Pretty Young Thing)”虽然没有音乐电视作品，也依然非常流行。
1983年5月16日，当在参加“摩城唱片25周年：昨天，今天，永远”的电视特别节目演出时，杰克逊第一次在公众面前表演了“月球漫步”舞步（后来他的标志性的舞步动作），震惊全场。
1984 年1月，杰克逊获得美国音乐大奖的9项提名并创记录性的赢得8项奖项（这个记录一直到1994年才被惠特尼·休斯敦《保镖》原声带专辑打破）。在2月举行 的葛莱美奖中，杰克逊获得12项提名并创造了8个奖项的纪录（1999年被卡洛斯·桑塔纳的专辑《超自然》追平），其中7项授予《顫慄》专辑，一项授予他 的自述《ET外星人故事书》。5月，《顫慄》专辑被《金氏世界纪录大全》认定为空前的最佳销量流行音乐唱片。
同年，杰克逊还获得了“有色人种民权促进协会”颁发的自由勋章；在白宫接受美国总统罗纳德·雷根颁发的特殊成就奖；11月，在好莱坞的星光大道上留下他的手印。
2007年，顫慄專輯發行滿25年推出25週年紀念專輯，依舊造成超高銷售量。
[编辑] 单曲 "We Are The World"
1985 年，受到英国“Band Aid”活动的启发，杰克逊参与组织并与莱昂纳尔·里奇共同创作了单曲《天下一家》（We Are the World）。《天下一家》旨在声援向非洲饥民捐款的大型慈善活动“美国援非”，由44位歌手所共同演唱，包括哈里·贝拉方特、辛迪·劳博尔、黛安娜·罗 斯、雷·查尔斯、史提夫·汪达等。这张单曲在美国狂销700万张，成为空前最佳销量单曲（直到1997年才被艾尔顿·约翰的《风中之烛》所超过）。
1986 年，杰克逊参与演出了乔治·卢卡斯和弗朗西斯·福特·科波拉执导的3D影片《伊奥船长》，这部影片在迪士尼主题公园中一直播放到1998年。在当时，它是 制作费用最为昂贵的影片，耗资达1700万美元。这部影片中的两首歌曲分别为 "We Are Here To Change The World" 和 "Another Part Of Me"。
[编辑] 《飆》专辑 BAD
1987年, 杰克逊发行了唱片《飆》，并开始了第一次全球巡演。次年，杰克逊发行影片《月球漫步》以及一系列的同名自传。
《飆》 专辑是杰克逊的又一次巨大成功。它的歌曲和音乐电视"I Just Can't Stop Loving You", "Bad", "The Way You Make Me Feel", "Man In The Mirror", "Dirty Diana", "Another Part Of Me", "Smooth Criminal" 和 "Leave Me Alone" 再一次全面流行。专辑中唯一一首不流行的歌曲是 "Liberian Girl"，到现在为止是他的最不常见的单曲。无论如何，杰克逊创造了一张专辑产生6首冠军单曲的历史奇迹。在美国发行的7支单曲中，前5首均荣登 “Billboard TOP 100”榜的冠军宝座，"Another Part Of Me" 曾排名第11位（Billboard 蓝调歌曲榜冠军），"Smooth Criminal" 获得第7名。这张专辑在美国共售出800万张，全球销量达2900万张。
1989年，MTV频道授予杰克逊“十年先锋音乐录影带艺人奖”；1990年，杰克逊被哥伦比亚唱片公司评为“当代最伟大的艺人”；同年4月，布什总统在白宫为杰克逊颁发“十年最佳艺人奖”。
《危险之旅》专辑 Dangerous
1991 年，杰克逊创记录性的与索尼唱片公司签订了高达8亿9千万美元的天价合约并发行了新专辑《危险之旅》（Dangerous）。在“危险之旅”世界巡演中， 杰克逊宣布成立他的“治癒世界基金”成立。《危险之旅》专辑包括 "Who Is It", "Give In To Me", "Gone Too Soon"（为年轻的艾滋病受害者瑞恩·怀特所作），和随后成为电影《人鱼的童话》主题曲的 "Will You Be There" 等单曲及其音乐电视。不过专辑中最为成功和流行的单曲为 "Jam", "Remember The Time", "Black Or White", "In The Closet", 以及 "Heal The World"。由于已经成为杰克逊的一种标准，专辑中歌曲的录影带在当时是最富有创意和制作最为昂贵的音乐电视作品。 "Give In To Me" 中邀请枪与玫瑰乐队的 Slash 参加演出；"Heal The World" 则是为了配合杰克逊自己的同名慈善组织所作；"Will You Be There" 中杰克逊以电影《人鱼的童话》为背景演唱。其它的许多音乐电视作品有很强的故事性和令人眼花缭乱的舞步，以及名星的参与。在 "Jam" 的音乐电视中，杰克逊和篮球巨星迈克尔·乔丹一起打篮球和跳舞；在 "Remember The Time" 中喜剧明星艾迪·墨菲则饰演一位埃及国王，试图取悦她的妻子（由名模伊曼扮演），篮球明星“魔术师”约翰逊扮演国王的侍卫，在长达7分钟的录影带中，杰克 逊又唱又跳最终取得了伊曼的欢心；杰克逊与纳奥米·坎贝尔在 "In The Closet" 中排演一对情侣。杰克逊对这张专辑抱有很大的期望，希望能在全球售出1亿张。但是在金曲榜中出现过一段时间后，专辑便跌出前十名，在美国只售出700万 张，全球售出2900万张。虽然这使得《危险之旅》专辑仅超过上一张专辑《真棒》的成绩成为他的销量第二佳的唱片，但是距离售出1亿张唱片的目标却很遥 远。
1993年，杰克逊先后获美国音乐奖“国际艺人大奖”、“葛莱美传奇奖”、“年度人道主义奖”及世界音乐大奖颁发的3项大奖。
[编辑] 单曲《Black Or White》
在 所有流行专辑的音乐录影带中，"Black Or White" 恐怕是迄今为止被播放次数最多、最为流行的了。原版的录影长度超过10分钟，耗资超过400万美元，于1991年11月14日在MTV, VH1, BET, 和 ABC 等各大频道公映，成为了他的历史上被观看次数最多的音乐电视作品。录影中以童星麦考利·卡尔金饰演的一个小杰克逊迷和他的父亲（乔治·温德饰）的故事开 始，他的父亲训斥他把音乐的声音调低，但以卡尔金的脾气，他决定把巨大的音箱弄进客厅并把音量调到最大，结果巨大的音波把他的父亲穿过房顶冲入空中，这个 方式有点像早期的音乐电视 Twisted Sister 中的手法。他的父亲最后在中部非洲落地，随后 "Black Or White" 的音乐响起，杰克逊开始了他的环球旅行，从一个国家到另一个国家，从一种文化到另一种文化。在歌曲的结尾，录影运用了一种“变形”特技，不同种族的人们 （包括名模泰拉·班克斯和配音演员克里·莎莫）的脸从一张变换到另一张，作为全球大一统的象征。虽然这不是第一支运用变形技术的音乐电视作品，前 10cc 的成员 Godley & Creme 在1985年他们的歌曲 Cry 中曾更广泛的运用过这种技术。不管怎么说，这是大多数观众第一次看到这种技术的运用，许多人为之所深深震惊。由于电脑技术的发展，如今这种变形技术已经广 泛的应用于音乐电视的制作中，而且成本要远比上个世纪90年代初要低得多。
完整版的“Black or White”的录影带在歌曲结束后仍然继续了4分钟，在这段时间裡面，杰克逊不但展示了他“有名”的胯下抚摸动作，砸碎了商店的玻璃（写有“KKK RULES”），还用一根铁棒砸坏了一辆汽车（车窗上有纳粹卐等种族歧视意味的喷涂）。美国当红卡通剧《辛普森一家》裡的主人翁巴特·辛普森和荷马·辛普 森亦在影片中客串。然而，杰克逊的狂躁不安以及胯下动作使许多看过录影带首映的家长们很是震惊。MTV 以及其他的电视台不得不将最后4分钟剪掉，杰克逊还向受到冒犯的观众做出了“检讨”。如今，“Black or White”录影带的最后4分钟在美国 MTV2 台播放时，只能在凌晨1点到4点这段时间，播放“最受争议音乐录影带”节目时才播出。当然，完整版的录影带在杰克逊的音乐DVD裡都找得到。几年前，欧洲 VH1电台曾经在白天播放过完整版的录像，不过现在已经删除了。

《历史之 旅》（HIStory，又译：他的历史）双碟专辑发行于1995年，第一碟的15首歌是他过去热门歌曲的精选，第二碟包括15首新歌。新专辑在美国产生了 2首新的冠军单曲和音乐录影带：与他的妹妹珍妮特·杰克逊合唱的“Scream”，该单曲的带有未来科幻色彩的音乐录影带花费了近700万美元，成为造价 最高的音乐录影带；另一支单曲“You Are Not Alone”，刚发行便登上 Billboard榜的榜首，在音乐录影带中杰克逊当时的妻子莉莎·普雷斯利也参与演出。专辑中的其它歌曲：“Childhood”、“Earth Song”、“Stranger In Moscow”和“They Don't Care About Us”在美国反响平平，却在欧洲大受欢迎。"Earth Song" 是关于保护环境的，"Childhood" 则是电影《人鱼的童话续集》的主题曲，"They Don't Care About Us" 推出时它的具有争议性的歌词引起了很大轰动，因为它涉及到了反犹太的社会问题。这导致美国MTV台和VH1台不得不把它禁播了，尽管它在无线电台节目中广 受欢迎。专辑中除 "Scream" 单曲外，其它的歌曲似乎在美国不是很流行。这在杰克逊看来整张专辑是失败的，尽管在2004年这张专辑卖了1800万张。本来杰克逊希望它能整个夏天都停 留在榜首位置的，但它仅打榜2周就悄然无声了。不过，这张专辑在英国却大受欢迎，"Earth Song" 打榜6周并卖出超过100万张
《赤色風暴》专辑 Blood On The Dance Floor
1997 年，杰克逊发行了《赤色風暴》专辑，这张专辑是上张专辑《历史之旅》中几首歌曲的重新混音版，另外包括5首新歌，此专辑成为销量最好混音专辑。专辑中的唯 一一首单曲的正式录影带，即主打歌"Blood On The Dance Floor"，在美国依然不如在欧洲受欢迎。后来，杰克逊又制作了 "Ghosts" 录影带，长达40分钟，包括 "Ghosts" 、 "2 Bad"(Too Bad) 以及 "Is It Scary" 三首歌。此外，录影带还有一支长达1小时的版本，作为 MTV 和 VH1 台的万圣节商业影片播出。
2001年，杰克逊作为独唱歌手被引荐进美国摇滚名人殿堂。
[编辑] 《萬夫莫敵》专辑 Invincible
2001 年，杰克逊制作成本最昂贵的专辑《萬夫莫敵》发行。专辑刚发行便荣登 Billboard TOP200 榜榜首，在美国卖出了200万张，全球1200万张。虽然数字很惊人，但与杰克逊以前的专辑和专辑的制作费用相比似乎不尽人意。以前的专辑中，杰克逊发行 6支单曲，大部分在全世界都广受欢迎。《萬夫莫敵》专辑在美国推出 "You Rock My World" 和 "Butterflies" 单曲，第三支单曲 "Cry" 在欧洲发行。"You Rock My World" 进入美国流行音乐榜前十名，仅停留了一周的时间，它的14分钟的录影带仅在 MTV, VH1, MTV2, 和 BET 几个电视台播出，并且通常只播出5分钟长度的版本。"Butterflies" 在美国打榜前20名，在 R&B 榜上排名第二，但并没有进入流行音乐榜前十名。2002年末，《萬夫莫敵》专辑的销量不尽人意，杰克逊责怪唱片公司的高层托米·莫特雷因为知道他不会与唱 片公司续约故意毁灭这张专辑，说他是“种族主义者”[16]，形容他为“魔鬼”。
2002年6月，杰克逊入主创作名人堂。2002年11月，杰克逊在柏林获得“2002年德国千年Bambi奖”，以承认他世界“最伟大的流行歌手”的地位。这个奖项是德国最具权威的奖项之一，表彰包括从经济到影视，从政治到体育等不同领域的杰出人物。
[编辑] 单曲 "One More Chance"

[编辑] 《This Is It》個人演唱會
2009 年3月6日，麥可傑克森宣布將於7月在倫敦舉行一系列復出演唱會，這將是他超過10年來首次舉行大型演出。他證實，將自7月8日起在倫敦宏偉的02體育場 （02 Arena）公演10場。據報導，這次演唱會75萬張門票在開售後4個半小時內給搶購一空，創下流行音樂史上最高紀錄。
但據報 導，米高積遜4月22日在洛杉磯Cedars-Sinai醫院，據說正是為檢查皮膚癌，當日接載他的司機更牽涉入一宗發生在醫院門外的交通事故中。有說他 的主診醫生是畢業於劍橋的馬斯（Ralph Massey），美容及皮膚癌方面的權威。米高接受測試後發現他上身有皮膚癌的迹象，而他臉上的癌細胞指數亦高，知情人士透露:「米高起初有點擔心，但後 來醫生肯定的告訴他有得醫，而且會痊癒；他很期待7月的個唱，希望親自與歌迷會面，所以他很堅持治療要配合他的演唱會工作，一切將如期舉行。」
但隨著演唱會主角於2009年6月25日往生，原訂於2009年7月13日的演唱會被迫中斷。
[编辑] 梦幻庄园

杰克逊最爱的消遣娱乐是和儿童玩耍，例如用 灌水气球和水枪打水仗，一同驾驶高尔夫球车（孩子们还常被允许亲自驾驶），蒸汽小火车和其他庄园中的工具，以及和小朋友长时间的电话聊天。他还曾与儿童露 营（据称多是男孩）。但是2005年时杰克逊称他认为自己的行为在公众眼中可能被视为不合社会规范，会造成他性虐待的嫌疑并成为攻击对象，因此他将不再这 样做。
杰克逊在梦幻庄园抚养了一只黑猩猩，名叫巴伯斯，他对其珍爱有佳，与其说是把它当成宠物不如说是作为一个朋友。巴伯斯发育成熟后被移居出庄园，理由是因为成年黑猩猩强壮而具有危险性。
杰克逊喜欢爬树，据称他在梦幻庄园中一棵最爱的树上创作了多首乐曲，他把树称为“给予之树”，因为他认为此树能给他带来灵感。
2008年11月，正式消息出现MICHAEL已将Neverland Valley Ranch 卖给了Sycamore Ranch LLC 。

[编辑] 整容风波
杰克逊的容貌与肤色自出道以来发 生了巨大的变化。他自己声明做过3次手术：2次整鼻手术（第一次是为了修整1978年跳舞时受伤的鼻子，第二次是为了修正第一次手术的瑕疵）和一次植皮手 术（因一次拍廣告燒傷頭部）。有人批评说他的整形手术以及流传的“皮肤漂白”事件是为了掩盖他非洲裔美国人的血统。但是法医鉴定杰克逊只是使用了很多化妆 品来掩盖身上由白癜风所致的病斑而已。
[编辑] 婚姻生活
1994年，杰克逊和猫王的女儿莉莎·普雷斯利结婚。这段婚姻 持续了不到两年，最终以离婚告终。1996年，他与黛比·罗结婚，这时他已经有了儿子普里斯·迈克尔和女儿帕里斯·凯瑟琳。最后他们在1999年离婚。罗 后来说，她把孩子当作“礼物"送给了杰克逊。她放弃了抚养权，但2005年又要求法庭给予探视的权利。

据谣传在2003年杰克逊已经有了另外一个17岁大的儿子叫迈克尔·约瑟夫·杰克逊，但这很显然是恶意的谣言。
2006年7月3日，前妻黛比·罗向洛杉矶高等法院起诉杰克逊，指控他2003年10月起停止向她支付离婚时答应支付的费用。[23]最后，2006年9月，双方达成和解。[24]

杰克逊曾录制了一支单曲 What More Can I Give，邀请了很多名人合唱，目的是为九一一恐怖袭击事件筹集捐款。但是，这首歌从来没有发行过，原因是制作人马克·斯查菲尔是同性恋色情录影的制作人。

杰克逊的衣服右臂常有個臂環，據本人表示是為了紀念世界各地的孩童。
人生..是一种折磨,但可以是以种享受...的人生之路有值得开心的事,但也有不如人意的事...所以....想怎样做就怎样做...反正都是人生..只不过看能不能过得了自己这关..
