Q

Insulin resistance

A

Inability of peripheral tissues to respond properly to insulin.

Get insulin resistance at muscle, liver, adipocytes

34
Q

“Core Defects” of Type 2 diabetes?

A

Insulin Resistance and B-cell failure

35
Q

(T2DM Defects) Impaired Insulin Secretion

A

36
Q

(T2DM Defects) Inefficient glucose uptake in muscle

A

“Lock and Key” Insulin needed to “open” cell to let glucose in

37
Q

(T2DM Defects) Insulin resistance in liver

A

Leads to overproduction of glucose

Especially overnight when sleeping

38
Q

(T2DM Defects) Insulin resistance at fat cell

A

Fat cell becomes resistant and starts to breakdown triglycerides, leads to release of free fatty acids

39
Q

(T2DM Defects) Alpha cell of pancreas

A

supposed to turn off glucagon production.

This is signaling is “Off”

40
Q

(T2DM Defects) Decreased Incretin effect

A

resistance to incretin hormones

contributes to impaired insulin and excessive glucagon secretion

41
Q

(T2DM Defects) Increased Glucose Reabsorption

A

Kidney reabsorbs a bunch more glucose cause have so much. Leads to glucose staying in the blood stream.

42
Q

(T2DM Defects) Neurotransmitter dysfunction

A

Related to appetite suppression, contributes to feeling of fullness.

System isn’t working.
