Q

How do we use HbA1c To test for diabetes

A

glucose binds to haemoglobin within erythrocytes for the life of the RBC( 8-12 wks)
we measure how much haemoglobin is glycated

macrovascular

microvascular

32
Q

what are the macrovascular complications of diabetes

A

CVD( major cause of death) and peripheral vascular disease- amputations
cerebrovascular disease and stroke

33
Q

what are the microvascular complications of diabetes

A

retinopathy- blindness
neuropathy- painful nerve damage
nephropathy- kidney failure

34
Q

what level will people start expiring hypogylcaemic effects

A

under 4mmol per litre

35
Q

what do studies show

A

that people with poorly controlled diabetes had more attachment bone loss and bone

36
Q

what is there an increase risk of in the study

A

of perio disease with age

increased severity with the duration of diabetes

37
Q

what do Pima indians have a higher prevalence of

A

type 2 diabetes

38
Q

what is the central feature of pathogenesis of DM and periodontitis

A

inflammation

39
Q

what can cause systemic inflammatory response

A

perio infections

40
Q

what is there an increase of in systemic inflammation

A

acute phase proteins such as C reactive protein

and pro inflammatory cytokines

41
Q

give an example of acute phase protein

A

C reactive protein

42
Q

what is stimulated in obesity

A

IL-6 stimulates TNF-alpha

43
Q

what molecule stimulatied TNF- alpha

A

IL-6

44
Q

what does an increase in TNF- alpha and IL-6 may cause

A

insulin resistance- in type 2 diabetes

45
Q

what might an increase in IL-B cause

A

pancreatic ß cell destruction- in type 1 diabetes

46
Q

what is AGE

A

advanced glycation end products

47
Q

how do we get AGE

A

from hyperglycaemia which leads to collagen undergoing non enzymatic glycation

48
Q

what changes occur which leads to AGE forms

A

increased crosslinking- negative cross links

increased cytokine production

49
Q

what occurs after increased cytokine production

A

microvascular complications
atherosclerosis
decreased production of bone matrix

50
Q

what is RAGE

A

RECEPTOR FOR AGES

51
Q

What activates the RAGES

A

ages

52
Q

what happens when RAGES and AGES interact

A

Microvascular & macrovascular diabetes complications

Accelerated periodontal tissue destruction

53
Q

what is linked to LOA

A

BMI which is related to obesity

54
Q

what happens to PMN in diabetes mellitus

A

reduced PNM—> increased perio
enhanced resp burst
and delayed apoptosis and increased tissue destruction

55
Q

what do systematic reviews currently tell us about perio diseases and diabetes control

A

periodontal diseases adversely affect diabetes outcomes:

56
Q

with less HbA1C there is a reduced risk of

A

Deaths related to diabetes, 21%
Myocardial infarction, 14%
Microvascular complications,

57
Q

what do we advise for perio care in diabetics

A

1.Check HbA1c with Diabetes Care Team
Follow principles of 3 stages of therapy
2.Initial therapy: GDP can undertake; if poor response, consider specialist referral
3.Corrective therapy: Consider adjunctive systemic antibiotics (but more research needed)
4.Supportive therapy: GDP can undertake

58
Q

how do we manage hypoglycaemia

A

Give 3-6 glucose tablets (3g each) ie 10-20g
give glucose drink eg Lucozade 150-200ml
buccal glucose- less cooperative patient

59
Q

what are the clinical symptoms of hypoglycaemia

A

Pale, shaky, clammy, may be aggressive/confused; blood glucose <4 mmol/l

60
Q

how do we manage severe hypoglycaemia

A

Give glucagon IM, SC or IV injection (
Advice: get doctor/dial 999 if no recovery in 10 minutes
If still unconscious, will need glucose IV

Cancer
Heart disease
Diabetes

67
Q

what are other risk factors

A

Osteoporosis
Dietary Calcium
Vitamin D
Obesity

68
Q

what is osteoporosis

A

reduced bone mineral density

69
Q

who is osteoporosis most common in

A

post menopausal women but does occur in men

70
Q

what does osteoporosis lead to

A

an increase risk of fracture

71
Q

A

MANDIBULAR BONE RESOPTION

73
Q

what should patients with diabetes mellitus be told

A

At increased risk of periodontitis
Glycaemic control may be more difficult
At higher risk of other complications eg cardiovascular disease
And should:
Receive thorough oral/perio exam (adults and children)

74
Q

if the patient doesn’t have periodontitis and no DM what should we do

A

Prevention, monitor

If risk for Type 2 DM, inform patient, do chairside HbA1c or refer to GP
