Q

what are some screening recommendations?

A

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

Q

Talk about glucose hometostias. like when we have too much glucose vs when we have low levels

A

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

Q

Role of incretins? what stimulates them?

A

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

Q

If we have low arterial glucose comment on what happens along the brain pathway (already covered pancreas pathway)

A
  • 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

Q

Synthese and insulin production

A

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

22
Q

Insulin scretion

A

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

Q

Insulin receptor and action

A

Insulin attaches to receptor and tyrosine kinase intrinsic activity is stimulated

the receptor autophsophoryaltes

Actiavting PI-3 kinase

then GLUT4 translocates from inside of cell to cell surface

Glucose is taken up by sketal muscle or fat

24
Q

What are the effects of insulin on the body sepcifically on carbohydartes,

A

carbohydrates (muscle, adipose tissue and liver) :
- increase in glucose uptake, oxidation, storage
- increase in glycogon synthesis
- decrease in gluconeogenesis
- decrease in glycogenolysis

25
Q

What are the effects of insulin on the body sepcifically on AA and proetins

A

AA and proetins (muslcle):
- increase in aa uptake and protein synthese
- decrease in aa release

26
Q

What are the effects of insulin on the body sepcifically on lipids

A

Lipids (adipose tissue and liver):
- increase in triglyceride synthesis
- decrease in free fatty acid and glycerol
- decrease in oxidation of FFa to ketoacids (liver)

27
Q

what kind of activty does inuslin produce in the body?

A

anabolism effects (conservative)

28
Q

Type 1 DM is the reuslt of what? whats the consquence?

A

autoimmunity against pancreatic beta cells

consquence: Complete or near total inuslin loss

29
Q

Immunogenic Markers of T1D

A

Islet cell autobodies (ICA) :

GAD, insulin, IA-2/ICA-512 and ZnT-8

Present in 85% of people diagnosed with T1d

5-10% for T2D

3-4% in first degree relative

30
Q

ICA combined with what helps us predict DM. and what are the predictions?

A

ICA with IV GTT:
- 50 % will get Dm in 5 years
- 70% t1d in 10 years
- 80% Dm in 15 years

31
Q

Etiology of T1D can be ___ or ____

A

immune-mediated or idiopathic

32
Q

What autoimmune markers or HLA association offer protective or put you are risk?

A

Class II MHC genes (HLA region on chromosome 6)
Haplotype: 301, 302, 201 - strong risk
Haplotype: 102, 602 = protective factors

33
Q

what environmental factors can cause T1D?

A
  1. Molecular mimicry - rubella, Coxsakievirus, protein (GAD), bovine milf proteins
  2. Vit D defieincy
  3. microbiome
34
Q

Age for T1D

A

usualy before 20

35
Q

do all have evidence for islet-directed autoimmunity?

A

no, some but not all

36
Q

Those that lack immunologic and gentic markers have what assumptions amde for them (3)?

A
  • insulin defeiceny is due to unknonw, nonimmune mechanisms
  • are prone to ketosis
  • many are of afriacn american or asian heritage
37
Q

humoral and cellualr abnormallities in T1D

A
  • islate cells antibodies, avticated lymphocytes, T lymphocytes, cytokines release within the insulitis
38
Q

Explain what happens when we don’t have enough insulin?

A

no beta cells
no insulin availble to cells
no glucose entering cells
glucose acucmulates in blood
- cells satrve (less ATP prpduction) -less energy = tired = difficulty concenrtraion
compensetory mec is activated

39
Q

Compensatory Mechanisms for hyperglycemia

A

Catecholamines release Ne/Ep which increase glycogenolysis in liver

Cortisol released promotes gluconeogeneis

Increased ICP
- dehydration

kideney increases (GFR)
- polyuria
-glusaria

Thirst center
- polydipsia

40
Q

complications of chronic hyperglycemia

A

HTN, CVD, ESRD, stroke

  • effects are vascular or neuropathic
41
Q

Vascular complications categorized as what?

A

Macrovascular
- leads to CVD and stroke

and microvascular
- retinophathy and nephropathy

42
Q

Expand on microvascular complications

A
  • hyperglycemia disrupts platelt function and gorwth of basment membrane
  • thickening of basement membrane may improve glycemic control
  • risk factors of microvascualr complications include HTn nad smoking
43
Q

Some overall complications of t1D

A
  • increased risk of infection
  • rapid growth of gersm
  • reduce defense agaisnt gersm
    (poor skin helaing or affects to WBC that can’t get to site to bind due to altered blood suppple or due to phagocytic fucntion of cells)
44
