(DM Type) Destruction of pancreatic beta cell responsible of insulin production
Type 1 DM
(DM Type) Associated with autoimmune disease
Type 1 DM
(DM Type) Usually develops in children and young adult
Type 1 DM
(DM Type) Associated with a faster onset of symptoms, leading to dependency on extrinsic insulin for survival

Type 2 DM
(DM Type) Peaks onset between 60 and 70

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
