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
