DM Flashcards
Defintion: a group of common ____ disorders and share the ___ of ____ that affects multiple ___ _____
metabolic disorders
phenotype
hyperglycemia
organ systems
Types of diabetes are caused by ___ and ___
genetics and environmental factors
Factors that can contribute to hyperglycemia are: (3)
- reduced insulin secretion
- decrease glucose utilisation
- increased glucose production
What are some consequences of diabetes?
- adlult blindness
- amputation
- end stage renal disaes (ESRD)
- CV disease
- burden on helath care system and those affected
Broad categories of DM
type 1 and type 2
some other categories of diabetes
MODY
Gestational DM
Which diabetes do we need insulin to survive and which is it just to control glucose levels with?
type 1 - survive
type 2 - control
Where are the three diagnostic measuring tools and what does each one stand for?
FPG - fasting blood glucose
OGTT - oral glucose tolerance test
HbA1c - average glucose levels over past 1 -2 months
The diagnostic range for normal glucose homeostasis - values?
FPG < 5.6 mmol/L
OGTT < 7.9 mmol/L
HbA1c < 5.7 %
The diagnostic range for impaired glucose homeostasis - values?
FPG 6.1-6.9 mmol/L
OGTT 7.8 -11 mmol/L
HbA1c 5.7-6.4%
The diagnostic range for DM - -values?
FPG > 7.00
OGTT > 11
HbA1c >= 6.5
What lab values are recommended to use for screening purposes?
FPG
HbA1c
what are some screening recommendations?
aboe 45 screen every 3 years or if BMI is over 25
- can be asptomatic and unaware
- can have for a decade without knowning
- if we find pre-diabetes values we can maybe prevent DM
- early tx can alter course of DM
Talk about glucose hometostias. like when we have too much glucose vs when we have low levels
too much - message send to pancreas and brain - B isletes cells produced (insulin produced) - fat and msucle take in glucose form the blood
Too little - message sent to brain and pancrease - glucagon relase by al[ha cells, liver relases glucose into blood
Role of incretins? what stimulates them?
incretins are used for hormonal regulation
they are stimulated by the ingestion of food in the gut
The kinds of incretins are:
1. glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP)
2. Glucose 0like peptide 1 (GLP-1)
They:
- stimulate insulin production and inhibit glucagon
- promote proliferation of beta cells and inhibit apoptosis
- GLP-1 delays gastric emptying and increases satiety
what delays gastric emptying and increases satiety
GLP-1
If we have low arterial glucose comment on what happens along the brain pathway (already covered pancreas pathway)
- stimulate pituitary hormone, growth factor, ACTH Adrenal cortex and then cortisol levels
- increases sympathoadrenal outflow so adrenal medullae produce more ephedrine and sympathetic postganglionic neurons increase norepinephrine and acetylcholine
Epinphrine - stimulates liver whihc causes increase glucose and arterila glucose
norepehinre and acetycholine cause ingestion and less glucose clearance whihc causes increase in arterial glucose
Hypoglycemia activates what 3 responses in Dm and in Dm people?
What are the results of these?
pro-inflammatory, pro-coagulant, pro -atherothrombotic
Results:
1. increase platelet aggregation
2. increase intravascular aggreagtion
3. decreased arterial vasodilation mechanisms
Where is insulin produced?
in the pancreas by beta cells of the islets of langerhans
What are some other pancreatic cells and their functions?
alpha - glucagon production
delta - produce somatostatin
F - produce pancreatic polypeptide
Synthese and insulin production
2 insulin chain with high molecular weight are synthesise and called preproinsulin
after this is sequestered in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum they are cleaved by porteases into insulin and C-peptide in the scretory glands of beta- cells
Insulin scretion
glucose enters the beta cell via GLUT
via glucokinase, ATD is generated
ATP then blocks the ATP-sensitive K+ channel meaning that K is effluxed out of the cell.
The cell is then depolarized and ca enter via a calcium voltage-dependent channel.
This stimulates insulin exocytosis from the cell
