Final Study Guide Flashcards
4 Types of cells found in pancreas
- Alpha Cells
- Beta Cells
- Delta Cells
- F or PP cells
What Alpha Cells Release
Produce glucagon
Stimulated by hypoglycemia
What Beta cells release
produce insulin
when high blood glucose
What delta cells release
- peptide hormones somatostatin
- inhibit release of glucagon and insulin
What F or PP cells release
Secrete pancreatic polypeptide hormone (appetite)
Type I Typical Characteristics
- Juvenile
- insulin-dependent DM, from beta cell destruction leading to an absolute insulin deficiency
- 5-10%
- Sudden onset
- mostly in children
- thin/normal body
- ketoacidosis
- autoantibodies
- low endogenous insulin
Type II Typical Characteristics
- Adult onset
- non insulin dependent
- from progressive insulin secretory defect on background of insulin resistance
- 90-95% of pop
- gradual onset
- mostly adults
- obese
- RARE ketoacidosis
- NO autoantibodies
- Normal endogenous insulin
Late autoimmune diabetes in adults
- Slow onset Type 1
- some disease-associated autoantibodies
- NO insulin requirement at time of diagnosis
Type 1 DM Pathologic Process
Beta cell destruction which can’t make insulin
Type 2 DM Pathologic Process
Cellular resistance to insulin
- increase with obesity
- insulin resistance hyperinsulineamia impaired glucose tolerance
- impaired fasting glucose-hypoglycemia-EARLY DM-beta cell failure and requires insulin like type 1
- Decreased beta cell responsiveness to plasma glucose levels, abnormal glucagon secretion, islet dysfunction-decreased beta cell mass, abnormal beta function, alterations in the insulin receptor of muscle liver and adipose
- Amyloid formation in pancreas with islet cell destruction
Classic symptoms of Type 1 DM
Lethargy stupor breath smell acetone weight loss Kussmaul breathing (hyperventilation) nausea vomit abdominal pain
Classic symptoms of DM
Polydipsia plyphagia blurred vision polyuria glycosuria paresthesias recurrent infection
Acute complications of DM
-Hypoglycemia pallor tremor balance fatigue confused dizzy
Diabetic Ketoacidosis Symptoms
Decreased insulin
more stress hormones
more glucose production
more ketones=odor
Chronic DM Symptoms
Microvascular disease -neuropathy -retinopathy -nephropathy Macrovascular disease -atherosclerosis -CAD -Stroke -PVD
Cardiovascular disease nephropathy retinopathy neuropathic ulcer Decrease awareness decrease blood for healing increased glucose in body fluid decreased WBCs poor function of WBC
