ILE I U2 D1 Flashcards
Type 1
Insulin deficient
Type 2
Insulin resistant
The American Diabetes Association Diabetes Expert Committee recommends a diagnosis of diabetes when one of three criteria is met
- Random plasma glucose of ≥ 200 mg/dL, + polydipsia, polyuria, unexplained weight loss
- Fasting plasma glucose of ≥ 126 mg/dL on AT LEAST 2 occasions
- Fasting plasma glucose of < 126 mg/dL, but a 75g 2 hr oral glucose tolerance test plasma glucose of ≥ 200 mg/dL
normoglycemia
appropriate glycemic control based on the patient’s comorbidities
BP control in diabetic patients reduces risk for
- retinopathy
- nephropathy
- cardiovascular risk
significant reductions in macrovascular complications may take
5-15 years
Short term reductions time-frame
<5 years
T1D therapy
Insulin
T2D therapy
Insulin (or other injectable anti-hyperglycemics) and metformin.
Multiple therapeutic agents required for T2D
thiazolidinediones (TZDs) MoA
Reduce (not stop) decline of beta cell function
Aggressive management of cadiovascular risk is required for patients with which type?
T2D
How do you prevent T1D?
