- Try building your search one term at a time, and be as specific as you can! Search term example: "chronic cough".
- Do not enter multiple findings such as "anemia, chronic cough, weight loss, vomiting" all at the same time.
- After selecting your term from the search results a list of possible diagnoses will be generated. If the list is too long, you will be able to narrow it down by entering additional terms.
- Do not enter values such as "heart rhythm 110" or "sodium 125", instead use "tachycardia" or "hyponatremia".

Diminished effectiveness of INSULIN in lowering blood sugar levels: Requiring the use of 200 units or more of insulin per day to prevent hyperglycemia or ketosis. It is usually due to insulin binding by antibodies (INSULIN ANTIBODIES), but abnormalities in insulin receptors (RECEPTOR, INSULIN) on cell surfaces also occur. It is associated with obesity, ketoacidosis, infection, and certain rare conditions. (from Stedman, 25th ed)
