Is Type 1 diabetes considered a metabolic disease? I've only heard of "metabolic disease" in reference to "metabolic syndrome", the precursor to Type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
There are many metabolic disorders - some due to specific genetic issues, and some severely life-limiting (eg children unlikely to reach adulthood). And as per the Wikipedia page for metabolic disorders, not to be confused with Metabolic syndrome or Diabetes.
It's a metabolic disorder. I guess I don't really know the difference between metabolic disease / metabolic syndrome / metabolic disorder. All problems of the metabolism, but I'm sure there's some medical distinction between them.
