Obesity and T2D metabolism Flashcards
what is diabetes
high blood glucose
what causes diabetes (2)
not producing insulin or use insulin effectively
what makes insulin
pancreas
what does insulin do
control blood glucose
what does diabetes controls (5)
blindness, kidney failure, heart attack, stroke, lower limb amputation
when does T1D normally get diagnosed
childhood
what type of disease is T1D
autoimmune
what % is T2D
90%
what is gestational diabetes
diabetes in pregnanacy
what is diabetes not diagnosed by a health professional
undiagnosed diabetes
what is it called when blood sugars are elevated but not high enough for diabetes
pre diabetes
T2D risk factors (5)
lack of exercise, overweight, family history, unhealthy eating, polycystic ovary syndrome
T2D symptoms (7)
excessive thirst and dry mouth, increased urination, tiredness, tingling/numbness in hands/feet, recurrent skin fungal infections, slow wound healing, blurred vision
in which gender is T2D more common
males
T2D risk increases with
age
what % of people over 18 hav T2D
20%
total annual cost for T2D
6 billion
increased blood glucose leads to
insulin release
insulin release leads to (3)
increased adipose and skeletal muscle glucose uptake, increased hepatic glycogenesis, decreased hepatic gluconeogenesis
increased adipose and skeletal muscle glucose uptake, increased hepatic glycogenesis, decreased hepatic gluconeogenesis leads to
decreased blood glucose
what happens to blood glucose overnight
decreases
low blood glucose leads to
glucagon release
glucagon leads to (2)
increased glycogenolysis and increased gluconeogenesis
increased glycogenolysis and increased gluconeogenesis leads to
increased blood glucose
glucose from the GI tract goes to the
portal vein
glucose is converted to what in the liver (2)
pyruvate and glycogen
pyruvate is converted to
fat
glucose is uptaken to the (4)
brain, skeletal muscle, erythrocytes, fat
erythrocytes and skeletal muscle produce
lactate
