[PF] Type 1 versus type 2 DM Flashcards
usually childhood and
adolescence
1
Normal weight or weight loss preceding diagnosis
1
Nonketotic hyperosmolar coma
more common
2
No islet autoantibodies
2
Progressive decrease in insulin levels
1
Circulating islet autoantibodies
1
usually adult; increasing
incidence in childhood and
adolescence
2
Vast majority are obese (80%)
2
Diabetic ketoacidosis in absence of
insulin therapy
1
Increased blood insulin (early);
normal or moderate decrease in
insulin (late)
2
Islet autoantibodies in Type 1
Anti-insulin
Anti-GAD
Anti-ICA512
Major linkage to MHC class II genes
1
Linkage to
candidate diabetogenic and
obesity-related genes (TCF7L2,
PPARG, FTO, etc.
2
also linked to polymorphisms in
CTLA4 and PTPN22, and insulin
gene VNTRs
1
No HLA linkage
2
Dysfunction in T cell selection and
regulation leading to breakdown in
self-tolerance to islet autoantigens
1
Multiple obesity-associated factors (circulating nonesterified fatty acids, inflammatory mediators, adipocytokines) linked to pathogenesis of insulin resistance
2
Insulin resistance in peripheral
tissues, failure of compensation
by β-cells
1
Insulitis (inflammatory infiltrate of T
cells and macrophages)
β-cell depletion
1
No insulitis
2
amyloid deposition in
islets
2
Mild β-cell depletion
2
islet atrophy
