Epidemiology of type II DM
Most common type.
Tons in Pima Indians (>40%)
Many undiagnosed
Will stem cell research have much benefit for type II diabetes>?
no, but yes for type I
Is diabetes a modifiable or unmodifiable risk factor for CAD and PAD?
unmod
(treating diabetes doesn't seem to lower risk of getting these)
Usual dx of type II DM
30-40
Will pts gain or lose weight before sx of type II DM?
Gain
Concordance of type II DM in identical twins
about 100%

(type 1 is less genetic)
Which diabetic needs to go to the eye doc immediately?
type II

because they probably have had this disease for quite some time.
Labs of type II DM
fasting gluc > 126
glucosuria
proteinuria (mild)
hematuria
increased VLDLs
low HDLs
Risk factors of type II DM
age>40
obesity
prior gestational diab
prior glucose intol
fam hx
Hispanic, black, american indians
poor
urban dwelling
high sat fats
with impaired gluc tol...
2 hour plasma gluc after 75g load is over 140 and more likely to develop type II DM
glucose tol _____ as you get older
decreases
simple things that help with type II DM
diet, lifestyle mod
Timeline of type 1 diabetes
hyperglycemia in the teens and in 5-6 yeras they stop making it.
by the time of dx, there is almost no insulin secretion.
timeline of type 2 diabetes
hyperglycemia around age 30-40
during pubberty they were making more than avg insulin but then this declines AND THEN blood sugar rises.
Medications of type II DM - general feature of their dosing
you constantly have to increase them because they work less well over time.
genes that can get busted in type II DM
there are many.
insulin tolerance test
testing how much of a drop of blood glucose you get after certain doses of insulin
HOMA calculation
measures insulin resistance IN POPULATIONS

measures ratio of glucose to insulin in a fasting state.
frquent samples of IV glucose tolerance test
measures how fast glucose is removed per unit time.
Gold standard test for insulin responsiveness
glucose clamp technique
give a continuous fixed dose of insulin and then give enough glucose to maintain glucose concentration

pts without diabetes (insulin sensitive) will need more glucose.
Where is most insulin-mediated glucose disposal?
in the muscle.

so diminished glucose disposal rates during insulin clamp indicates a decreased response of muscle to insulin.
Where does glucose go in the blood
80% taken up by the liver.

The rest is disposed under direction of insulin to mostly muscle, and some to fat
(there is just simply more musc than fat)
Worst way to measure insulin resistance
fasting insulin level because it is influenced by weight, age, pre-diabetes, medications, stress.
Does insulin regulat glucose input in the liver?
no, but it does for glucose output from the liver.
GLucose output in pts with type II DM
more gluconeuogenesis and glycogenolysis
What is a good measure of liver glucose output?
fasting glucose
insulin and fat tissue
insulin regulates glucose uptake by fat, but fat only takes up a little glucose after a meal.

insulin mainly regulates output of FFAs from fat cells. and high FFA levels cause/enhance insulin resistance.
facts that determine hepatic glucose output
substrate avail (alanine, lactate, glycogen, acetyl coa)

cofactors-NADH
hepatic [] of gluconeogenic enzymes

glucagon, catechol, growth hormone)

glycogen storage pathway enzymes
islet cell phases in type II DM
0-normal
2-pre-diabetes and borderline beta cell mass
3-loss of insulin sensitive
4-amylin found in islets and more reduced beta cell mass
5-severe reduction in beta cell mass.
as pts gain weight...
they acquire even more resistance to insulin which just makes everything even worse.
incretins
released by GI tract in response to food

augments insulin release, decreases glucagon release, slow gastric empyting.

less release of incretins in pts with type II DM

half life of them is very short.
Glucose toxicity
the idea that chronic hyperglycemia leads to more insulin resistance and less insulin secretion.
clinicaly application of glucose toxicity
give a pt insulin to make their glycemic levels normals. so now their body is re-adjusted to having normal glycemic levels.

so you need to scale back the supplemental insulin dose or else the pt will get hypoglycemia!
Pima indians
no obesity until forced onto reservations with provided food.

(genetically very good at storing calories)
acanthosis nigricans
a skin disorder where it is dark like a football on neck and underarms

a good sign of insulin resistance. (type II DM)
why is it so imp to determine type i vs. ii?
very diff tx
with i - need insulin therapy for life.
diagnostic diff from type II DM and type I
islet cell antibodies - type i

obesity and acanthosis nigricans - type ii
MODY 2 glucokinase gene (GCK)
on chrom 7 - aut dom

means maturity onset diabetes of the young

glucokinase normally phosphorylates glucose in the islet cell and serves as the glucose sensor.

with mutation, the sensor is set at a higher level.
Other causes of type II DM
Pancreatitis via hemochromatosis (damage to islet cells)

endocrine disorders that impair insulin sensitivity - acromegaly, cushing's, pheochromocytoma

endocrine disorders that inhibit insulin secretion - glucagonoma, somatostatinoma, hyperaldosteronism.
Drugs that induce diabetes
Be esp careful with these drugs if pt with impaired glucose tolerance

prednisone, beta blockers - impair gluc sensitivity

pentamidine - impair insulin release

impair both release and sensitivity - cyclosporine, FK 506, thiazides

increase nutrient flux - niacin, TPN.
