Q

what is the MOA for insulin release?

A

glucose binds GLUT2 -> inc ATP intracellularly -> K channels closing -> Ca going into the cell -> depolarization -> insulin release

Q

what are the actions of insulin?

A

through the IP3 pathway

it stimulates glycogen, fat, and protein synthesis to get rid of glucose in the blood

Q

what are the different hormones released from the pancreas?

A
insulin
glucagon
somatostatin
pancreatic polypeptide
ghrelin
25
Q

what is the pathogenesis of T2DM?

A

high circulating FAs block the secondary messenger system inside cell once insulin binds
this blocks glucose from entering cell
this increases glucose in blood
this further stimulates insulin release

26
Q

how does DKA develop?

A

acute insulin deficiency -> inc lipolysis -> inc ketogenesis

27
Q

what are the symptoms of DKA?

A

N/V, stomach pain, fruity breath, polyuria, polydipsia, weakness, fatigue, confusion, heavy deep breathing

28
Q

What is the function of PPARgamma

A
inhibits pro inflammatory cytokines
activates adiponectin
dec insulin resistance
leptin levels dec
highly expressed in adipose
29
Q

what do thialzolidinediones do?

A

activate PPAR gamma

30
Q

what are the FPG, OGTT, and HbA1C of pre diabetes

A

FPG- 100-125
OGTT- 140-199
A1C- 5.7-6.4

31
Q

what is normal A1C?

A
32
Q

what are the FPG, OGTT, and HbA1C of diabetes?

A

FPG- >126
OGTT- >200
A1c- >6.5

33
Q

how often do you check A1C?

A

every 3 mo

34
Q

what would the BG be if A1C is 7? what is the increase in BG for every 1 pt inc in A1C

A

7=150

raises 30 pts for every 1 pt

35
Q

when can you diagnose diabetes with one test?

A

if they have symptoms and random plasma glucose is >200

everything else needs repeating

36
Q

which diabetes shows acanthosis nigricans?

A

Type 2 DM

37
Q

In which diabetics do HHS and DKA present?

A

HHS- type 2

DKA- type 1

38
Q

what is acanthosis nigricans

A

skin condition characterized by dark, thick, velvety skin in body folds and creases
mostly neck and axilla
associated with inc insulin and malignancy

39
Q

A

MODY

40
Q

what endocrinopathies are related to secondary etiologies of T2DM?

A
cushings
acromegaly
pheo
glucagonoma
somatostatinoma

46
Q

what happens with diabetic nephropathy?

A

mesangial expansion
thickening of BM
