Attachment of glucose to hemoglobin (glycation) is directly proportional to ___
Attachment of glucose to hemoglobin (glycation) is directly proportional to amount of glucose in the blood over time
Red blood cells circulate for 3-4 months so irreversible glycation of hemoglobin reflects ____ in the blood for the previous several months and indicates the degree of diabetes of control
(HbA1c correlates with self glucose monitoring)

Type 2 diabetes ranges from ___ to ___
Type 2 diabetes ranges from predominant insulin resistance with relative insulin deficiency to predominantly secretory defect with insulin resistance
Type 1 diabetes occurs due to ___
Type 1 diabetes occurs due to autoimmune destruction of beta cells in pancreatic islets
Describe immunologic history of Type 1 diabetes
Type 1 diabetes immunologic history
- Innate immune cells enter pancreatic islets (priming)
- Antigens in pancreatic lymph node trigger T cells
- T cells arrive from lymph nodes causing insulinitis

- Disease onset w/o intervention
Type 1 diabetes is largely mediated by ___
Type 1 diabetes is largely mediated by T cells
(autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells)
Patients with Type 1 diabetes are ___

- Depend on exogenous insulin for life
- Ketosis prone under basal conditions
Type 1 diabetes has greatest incidence at age ____ and presents with ____, ____, and ____
Type 1 diabetes has greatest incidence at age 10-14 and presents with polyuria, weight loss, and fatigue
Type 1 diabetes is associated with ____ or ____ allele expression
Type 1 diabetes is associated with HLA DR3 or DR4 allele expression
- HLA locus demonstrates strong association with T1DM consistent with autoimmune etiology
- Variation in many genes
____, ____, and ____ are environmental risk factors for T1DM
Enteroviral infections, dietary factors, and beta cell stress secondary to insulin demand are environmental risk factors for T1DM
____ frequently present at diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes
Circulating islet cell antibodies frequently present at diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes
- Marker of autoimmunity useful for predicting and diagnosing disease when presentation not classic for Type 1 diabetes
- Presents years to months before onset of clinical type 1 diabetes
Islet specific antibodies that present with Type 1 diabetes are ____, ____, ____, ____, and ____
Islet specific antibodies that present with Type 1 diabetes are islet cell autoantibodies, glutamic acid decarboxylase autoantibodies, insulinoma associated 2 autoantibodies, insulin autoantibodies, and ZnT8 autoantibodies
Antibody ___ and age ___ lead to faster progression to T1DM
Antibody IA2A/GADA and age <12 lead to faster progression to T1DM
Stage 1 of T1DM involves ____, ____, and ____
Stage 1 of T1DM involves B cell autoimmunity, normoglycemia, and no symptoms
(secondary prevention)
Stage 2 of T1DM involves ____, ____, and ____
Stage 2 of T1DM involves B cell autoimmunity, dysglycemia, and no symptoms
(secondary prevention)
Stage 3 of T1DM involves ____, ____, and ____
Stage 3 of T1DM involves B cell autoimmunity, dysglycemia, and symptoms
(intervention)
Teplizumab acts by ____
Teplizumab acts by preventing effector T cells from acting on beta cells
(delays onset of diabetes)
Describe acute effect of lack of insulin
Acute effect of lack of insulin
- Inhibits conversion of protein to amino acids
- Promotes kidney excretion of glucose, water, and electrolytes
- Prevents conversion of triglycerides to glycerol and FFA
- Decreases pH
Describe pathogenesis of diabetic ketoacidosis
Pathogenesis of diabetic ketoacidosis
- Insufficient insulin action -> hyperlipolysis -> ketoacidosis -> ketonuria
- Ketoacidosis -> polyuria -> hyperosmolality -> dehydration
- Ketoacidosis -> polyuria -> hypovolemia -> renal hypofunction
Describe therapeutic objectives for diabetic ketoacidosis
Therapeutic objectives for diabetic ketoacidosis
- Immediate
- Insulin therapy: catabolism -> anabolism
- Fluid: replace losses
- Electrolytes: Na, K, Cl
- After recovery: continued anabolism, restore lost nitrogen and intracellular electrolytes
Describe fluid therapy for diabetic ketoacidosis
Fluid therapy for diabetic ketoacidosis
- Loss of water > salt: replete vascular and extravascular volume first with isotonic fluid, then replete with hypotonic fluid
- Acidosis: NaHCO3 therapy to correct
- Blood glucose: use fluid with 5% glucose as glucose falls to 250-300 mg/dl
In diabetic ketoacidosis, there is a ___ K despite initial ___
In diabetic ketoacidosis, there is a deficiency of > 200 meq K despite initial hyperkalemia
- Relief of acidosis and increased glucose utilization with insulin therapy will shift K from extracellular to intracellular space with resulting hypokalemia
- Add K supplements to fluid when K enters normal range
- Monitor EKG
Diabetic ketoacidosis ____ H+ levels so ____
Diabetic ketoacidosis increases H+ levels so K+ leaves the cell via the H+/K+ antiporter
(excreted in urine)
