Diabetes Milletus Flashcards
- Most common endocrine disorder
Diabetes Mellitus
- Chronic condition
Diabetes Mellitus
- A group of metabolic disease
characterized by inappropriate
chronic hyperglycemia with
disturbances of carbohydrates, fats and protein metabolism resulting from defect in insulin secretion, insulin action or both
Diabetes Mellitus
- Infantile or
Childhood - Young
- Adult
- Elderly
1965
- Insulin
dependent DM - Non-Insulin
Dependent DM - Other Types
1985
- type 1
- type 2
1999
- type 1
- type 2
- specific type due to other causes
- gestational diabetes
2023
- Destruction of pancreatic beta cell
responsible of insulin production - Associated with autoimmune disease
- Usually develops in children and
young adult - Associated with a faster onset of
symptoms, leading to dependency on
extrinsic insulin for survival
type 1 DM
- More common type of diabetes
- Occurs in adults older than 40 years
- Peaks onset between 60 and 70
years - Caused by a relative insulin
deficiency and the body’s inability to
effectively use insulin - Symptoms are slower in onset and
less marked than those of Type 1 DM
Type 2 DM
- Hyperglycemia that is first detected during pregnancy, usually
diagnosed during the 2nd or 3rd trimester
Gestational diabetes
- Hyperglycemia in pregnancy is associated with adverse
outcomes, including hypertension or pre-eclampsia, fetal
macrosomia or fetal death
Gestational diabetes
adverse outcomes from hyperglycemia in pregnancy
pre-eclampsia, fetal macrosomia, fetal death
Diabetes is a result of a pre-existing condition
Specific Type due to other causes
Acute, symptomatic
Type 1 DM
Slow, often asymptomatic; symptoms occur when condition is already chronic
Type 2 DM
Weight loss, polyuria,
polydipsia, polyphagia
Type 1 DM
If symptomatic, similar with T1DM + obese, strong family history of T2DM, PCOS
Type 2 DM
body burns fat for energy instead of glucose
ketosis
Ketosis: Almost always present
Type 1 DM
Ketosis: Usually absent
Type 2 DM
Biomarker that indicates how much insulin your body has
C-peptide
C-peptide: Low or absent
Type 1 DM
C-peptide: Normal or elevated
Type 2 DM
Antibodies
- Positive: Islet Cell Antibodies
(ICA), ICA 512, Anti-Glutamic
Acid Decarboxylase (Anti-GAD)
Type 1 DM
Antibodies
- Negative: Islet Cell Antibodies (ICA), ICA 512, Anti-Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase
(Anti-GAD)
Type 2 DM
Insulin
Type 1 DM
Lifestyle modification, Oral anti-diabetic agents, Insulin
Type 2 DM
Associated auto-immune
diseases: yes
Type 1 DM
Associated auto-immune
diseases: No
Type 2 DM
Glucose enters the cell via theGLUT 2 transporter → glycolysis → ATP (by product) will bind to ATP sensitive K-channels →K-channel will close, preventing K efflux → depolarization due to increased K → signal Ca channel to open → entry of Ca inside cell→ stimulation of insulin production through a vesicle → bloodstream
main pathway
Glutamic acid -> Glutamic acid decarboxylase -> GABA -> insulin
alternative pathway
inhibits formation of GABA and will lead to Type 1 DM
Anti-GAD antibodies
Hormones affecting sugar
levels in the body
- insulin
- counterregulatory hormones
- incretin hormones
- amylin
Regulates CHO, CHON and
lipid metabolism by
promoting glucose uptake
into the cell
Insulin
Promotes conversion of
glucose to glycogen
Insulin
Facilitates cellular uptake of
amino acids
Insulin
Decreases the breakdown of
fatty acids into ketone bodies
insulin
Produced during low glucose
levels to increase the amount
of glucose in the body
Counterregulatory hormones
Antagonizes insulin effects
Counterregulatory hormones
Promotes conversion of
glycogen to glucose
Counterregulatory hormones
glucagon, growth hormones,
catecholamines, cortisol
Counterregulatory hormones
Released or secreted after
meal or nutrient intake to
stimulate release of insulin
incretin
Inhibits inappropriate glucone
secretion and increases beta
cell growth and reproduction
incretin
Suppresses appetite
incretin
Gastric inhibitory peptide
(GIP) and Glucagon-like
peptides (GLP)
incretin
Co-secreted with insulin
amylin
Lowers post-prandial blood
glucose level by prolonging
the gastric emptying time
amylin
Reduces post-prandial
glucagon secretion
amylin
Suppresses appetite
(2)
amylin
Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) DQA
and DQB appear to code for either
disease susceptibility or resistance
T1DM Genetics
Viral, chemical or dietary
T1DM environment
Assigns if person is susceptible or resistant to DM
DQA and DQB
- Anti-insulin ,anti-beta cell antibodies
- Antibodies to glutamic acid
decarboxylase
T1DM autoimmunity
