Diabetes And Its Effect On Metabolism + Periodontal Disease and Diabetes Flashcards
group of diseases in which the body does not properly control the amount of sugar (glucose) in the blood.
Diabetes mellitus
Type of diabetes that is insulin-dependent
Type 1
Type of diabetes that is not dependent on insulin
Type 2
Type of insulin that is usually caused by an autoimmune destruction of insulin producing β-cells in the pancreas.
Type 1
Typos of insulin that occurs when cells become resistant to the effects of insulin and the pancreas cannot make enough insulin to overcome the resistance.
Type 2
Type 1 diabetes risks factors:
- family history
- age (any age but more likely at younger age)
disorder of the human immune system that makes it difficult for the body to produce insulin:
Type 1 diabetes
What happens to the body when it doesn’t have insulin?
cannot convert sugar from food into nutrients for cells which causes excess sugars to build up in the blood stream and may eventually cause severe damage to organs and premature death.
which type let of diabetes does not produce insulin?
Type 1
Which type of diabetes causes insulin resistance at receptor and post-receptor levels?
Type 2
Type 1 diabetes is generally diagnosed in which population?
children, teens, young adults
Which factors are involved in the cause of T1D?
autoimmune, genetic, environmental
T1D occurs when the body’s immune system attacks and destroys the ___ cells in the ____.
beta
pancreas
Since the ____ are the source of insulin, patients with ____ must receive daily injections of insulin in order to stay alive.
beta cells
T1D
Prediabetes and T2D risk factors:
- overweight
- > 45 y/o
- immediate family member with T2D
- not physically active
- had gestational diabetes
- certain ethnic groups (AA, Hispanic/Latin American, American Indian, Alaskan Native)
The majority of diabetes causes in America are which type of diabetes?
T2
There is a correlation of ____ rates and diabetes prevalence in America.
obesity
What are the clinical symptoms of uncontrolled diabetes?
- pee often
- very thirsty often
Prolonged high blood glucose will lead to the production of:
Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs)
This product results from a chain of chemical reactions following an initial non-enzymatic glycation reaction (chemical reaction of glucose with a body protein or lipid).
AGEs
Hg associated
This product is believed to play a causative role in vascular complications arising with long term diabetes as well as a factor in normal aging and worsening of many degenerative diseases.
AGEs
The higher the blood glucose and the longer hyperglycemia, the (lower/higher) the AGEs.
higher
glycated form of hemoglobin
HbA1c
this form of Hg is used to measure avg blood glucose conc over a longer period of time compared to fasting glucose or glucose tolerance test
HbA1c
is glycation reversible or non-reversible?
non-reversible
common test used to further diagnose diabetes and/or how well it’s being managed; aka glycated or glycosylated Hg test
A1c test
What is a normal A1c level?
<5.7%
What is a prediabetic A1c level?
5.7% - 6.4%
What is a diabetic A1c level?
> 6.5%
Cells sense insulin through:
insulin receptors
