Q

In the next 5 years how many is world will have DM

A

43%

17
Q

First step of DM

A

Insulin resistance

Insulin rises

18
Q

Second step of DM

A

Glucose rise also

19
Q

3rd step of DM

A

Glucose increases more
Insulin cant be made anymore
Still high insulin resistance

20
Q

What genetic factor is involved in T1D

A

A type of HLA allele (common in Scandinavia)

Immune response is triggered by an environmental tigger ——> destroys B-cells

21
Q

Sx of T1D

A
  1. Weigh loss more then weight gain
  2. DKA (25% only have this)
  3. Fatigue
  4. Polyuria, Polydipsia,
  5. NORMAL insulin sensitivity
22
Q

What 3 autoimmune disease can cause T1D

A
  1. Autoimmune Thyroiditis
  2. Celiac Disease
  3. Addison’s Disease : adrenal gland destroyed
23
Q

Hyperglycemia in T2D and T1D

A

Higher in T1D

24
Q

DKA

A

Insulin deficiency + increase glucagon released (even more glucose)
= ketone bodies form in liver -> highly acidemic +dehydration
*seen in T1D

25
Q

HHS (Hyperglycemic Hyperosmolar State

A

Insulin deficiency + low fluid intake,
= sever dehydration + electrolyte loss (urine a lot also)
* for T2D

26
Q

What should DKA and HHS patients do

A

Go to hospital
IV Fluids
IV insulin
K replacement

27
Q

Hypoglycemia in DM

A

Usually due to medication
70% of pts
6-10% die from this in T1D
*PEARL = confusion, altered mental state, seizure, low consciousness = check BLOOD GLUCOSE (usually when blood is below 70 or can be in higher ranges)

28
Q

Reason for hypoglycemia Sx when brain is trying to get enough glucose energy

A
  1. ACH SYMPATHETIC: sweating ,higher, paresthesia
  2. Adrenal Gland EPI + NORE + CORTISOL : palpitations, tremor, anxiety
    * can be very serious and lead to hypoglycemic unawareness —-> unconscious immediately
29
Q

Where is acanthosis Nigricans is found in

A

T2D

30
Q

Poor skin turgor is

A

In t1d

31
Q

Hallmark t1d

A

Dehydrated and poor skin turgor, and ketogenic, weight loss

Poor skin turgor happens from dehydration
