2 modified human insulins:
|
1. Regular insulin
2. NPH |
|
difference between Regular insulin and NPH:
|
NPH has slower onset, longer duration
|
|
rapid-acting insulin: take it right before
|
a meal
|
|
3 rapid-acting insulin analogues:
|
1. Aspart
2. Glulisine 3. Lispro (peak time = 1 hour) |
|
2 long-lasting insulin analogues:
|
1. Glargine
(taken once every 24 hours) 2. Detemir |
|
Detemir's duration of action is between:
|
NPH and Glargine
|
|
in general, lower doses of insulin:
|
peak FASTER,
while higher doses last longer |
|
3 types of insulin regimens:
|
1. Twice-daily Split-Mixed
(Regular and NPH) 2. Multiple Daily Insulin Injections (MDI) (3 Regular injections, 1 NPH at the end of the night) 3. MDI: Glargine and 3 Lispro's |
|
remember that:
(2) |
1. body's FPG is determined mainly by the prior night’s long- or intermediate- acting insulin
2. the pre-lunch, pre-supper, and bedtime insulins are determined by the *short*-acting insulin dose at the **previous meal** |
|
basal insulin via Glargine =>
|
suppression of glucose production between meals and overnight,
while bolus (prandial/during-meal) insulin limits hyperglycemia |
|
insulin therapy in DM1 begins with:
|
this basal and bolus approach
- in DM2, they start with basal only, and continue with their other diabetes meds |
|
"dawn phenomenon" =
|
natural, modest rise in glucose in early morning due to peaks of GH and cortisol
|
|
insulin use might induce:
|
lipoatrophy or lipohypertrophy
|
|
insulin pump =
|
continuous, basal insulin
- slightly elevated in the morning due to dawn phenomenon, - slightly lowered in the middle of the night due to physiological inc. in sensitivity to insulin |
|
***main medical risks of insulin therapy = ***
(2) |
hypoglycemia,
wt. gain |
|
when to repeat glucose reading:
|
if they are on the lower end of high sugar
- need to make sure 20% variation of meters isn't taking you from high to nl |
|
Microvascular dz/eye dz won’t occur:
|
so soon in DM1 - will only develop later
|
|
high TG’s, low HDL, and HTN ~~
|
DM2,
NOT 1 |
|
Primary polydipsia ~~
|
dilute SERUM osm too (<300)
|
|
hydroxyapatite =
|
Ca2+PO4
|
|
"microvasculature" =
|
caps and arterioles
|
|
chronic complications of DM appear over:
|
YEARS
|
|
complications of DM occur in cells which do NOT require:
|
insulin for glucose uptake
- i.e. insulin-independent cells, i.e. all but adipose and muscle cells ESP. those unable to regulate glucose uptake |
|
4 cells that in particular don't regulate glucose metabolism well:
|
1. endothelial cells
2. neurons 3. Schwann cells 4. mesangial cells =>=> vascular, neural, and renal complications |
|
excessive glucose overloads a cell's glucose metabolism pathway, dysregulating the ETC; =>
|
INC. in ROS, beyond ability to remove them
=> oxidative stress => impaired function, detrimental effect, s/ts cell death |
|
meanwhile, ROS inhibits a key glycolytic enzyme,
|
GAPDH
=> shunts glucose metabolism to other pathways |
|
1 of the 4 alternate glucose pathways increases:
|
ROS
|
|
pathway 2 of 4 results in:
(4) |
1. inc. ECM
2. dec. fibrinolysis => vasc. occlusion 3. vasoconstriction 4. inc. athero => STENOSIS |
|
ECM includes:
(2) |
collagen, fibronectin
|
|
pathway 3 of 4 results in:
(3) |
1. all of the effects of 2/4
2. +angiogenesis 3. +gene expression of pro-inflammatory mlcls |
|
pathway 4 of 4 results in:
(5) |
1. inc. in AGE
(advanced glycosylation end-products) 2. dec. elasticity 3. inc. permeability 4. inc. inflam. cytokines, 5. dec. VEGF |
|
at first, the nonenzymatic glycosylation of proteins that leads to AGE is:
|
reversible
- later, becomes irreversible |
|
altogether, the effects of the four alternate pathways cause the following in the microvasculature:
(4) |
1. vasoconstriction
2. inc. ECM, BM 3. inc. permeability => edema, exudates 4. plasma prots, AGE trapped in the ECM |
|
ultimately, the effects at the microvasculature =>
|
narrowed lumen and thickened wall
=> ischemia => tissue necrosis, poor wound healing |
|
histo of microangiopathy =
|
hyaline thickening of microvasculature
(also seen in benign HTN - *not unique to DM*) |
|
hyaline thickening is composed of:
(3) |
BM,
ECM changed into AGE, leaked plasma prots changed into AGE |
|
***microangiopathy is found throughout the body, but especially in:***
(3) |
1. retina
2. peripheral nerves 3. kidney |
|
in the kidney, hyaline thickening is called:
|
arteriolosclerosis
|
|
diabetic nephropathy in the kidney =>
(4) |
1. glomerulosclerosis
2. arteriolosclerosis (=> ischemia) 3. inc. risk of inf. => pyelonephritis 4. papillary necrosis |
|
Glomerulosclerosis =>
(4) |
1. inc. BM
2. inc. mesangium 3. +/- KW nodules 4. proteinuria (= nephrotic syndrome) |
|
7 features of diabetic retinopathy:
|
1. thickened capillary BM
2. loss of pericytes (regenerative vessel cells) 3. aneurysms (vessel wall weakened) 4. hemorrhages (vessel wall weakened) 5. exudates (↑vascular wall permeability) 6. stenosis => ischemia 7. neovascularization (↑VEGF => angiogenesis) |
|
3 features of diabetic peripheral neuropathy:
|
1. microangiopathy
2. demyelination (due to ischemia, apoptosis via ROS of Schwann cells) 3. axon degeneration (all axon sizes) (due to ischemia to neurons, Schwann cells) |
|
compared to microangiopathy , the only difference in the pathogenesis of macroangiopathy =
|
the inciting cause of oxidative stress
- in macroangiopathy, insulin-R adipocytes release FFA's which are readily taken up by macrovascular endo cells (but NOT microvascular endo) mitochondrial oxidation of FFA's leads to ↑↑ROS |
|
apart from the changes as a result of the 4 pathways, in macroangiopathy, INC. ROS inhibits:
|
NOS and prostacyclin synthetase (*anti-atherosclerotic enzymes*)
=> *accelerated athero in large and medium arteries* (which is why athero is such a big issue for DM) |
|
athero of DM can lead to:
(3) |
1. MI
2. PVD 3. CVA |
|
special note about MI in DM:
|
can be SILENT due to neuropathy
|
|
diabetic ulcers are the result of:
|
BOTH micro- and macroangiopathy
(stenosis in one and athero in the other => ischemia, poor wound healing) |
|
diabetic ulcers ALWAYS start:
|
in the toes
|
|
5 features of Non-proliferative DM:
|
1. 95% of pts
2. **progressive** microangiopathy 3. => microaneurysms on fundoscope 4. *cotton-wool spots* if severe 5. venous beading (funny-looking vessels) |
|
Proliferative DR ~~
(2) |
1. neovascularization
2. scarring |
|
2 serious complications of Proliferative DR:
|
1. vitreal hemorrhage
(blood in the back of the eye) 2. retinal detachment |
|
primary cause of vision loss in DM2 =
|
Clinically Significant Macular Edema (CSME)
|
|
CSME =
|
inc. permeability, leakage, and accumulation of intra-retinal fluid
=> lipid exudates from damaged retinal capillaries and microaneurysms |
|
Proliferative DR is caused by:
|
ischemia,
while the other 2 are caused by leakage |
|
**ALWAYS measure:
|
microalbuminemia
- progresses to proteinuria which is always accompanied by renal HTN => edema => easy progression to renal failure |
|
microalbuminuria is detected by:
|
spot urine albumin-to-Cre ratio
|
|
stages of albuminuria:
|
Micro: 30-300
Macro: >300 Nephrotic Range: >3000 |
|
Stage 4 ESRD =
|
eGFR 15-29
- nephrology consult needed Stage 5 = ESKD |
|
menstruation causes transient:
|
microalbuminuria
|
|
non-glycemic interventions for nephropathy:
(3) |
1. BP management
2. ACEI's or ARB’s 3. low protein diet |
|
the higher the mA, the higher risk of:
|
CV death
- steeper than relationship of CV death to eGFR |
|
if you have DM, you have as high a CV risk factor as:
|
history of an MI
|
|
controlling glucose decreases:
|
microangiopathy
|
|
MODY = Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young =
|
"type-1-like" diabetes that *doesn't progress to requiring insulin*
|
|
4 features of MODY:
|
1. ~~adolescence/YA (< 25 years)
(can be diagnosed later as well) 2. runs through several generations 3. **often responds to diet/exercise, while some may need pills and/or insulin as well** 4. AD |
|
what does the genetic defect in MODY result in?
|
impaired glucose sensing (impaired glucokinase)
OR (more likely) impaired insulin production (via impaired TF's) |
|
MODY is the ONLY known:
|
monogeneic form of diabetes in adults
|
|
GDM =
|
diabetes diagnosed during pregnancy that is **not clearly overt diabetes**
|
|
GDM classically appears after:
|
week 20
|
|
in those with established DM2, screen for GDM at:
|
first prenatal visit
- in others, screen at 24-28 weeks |
|
biggest risk of GDM for the fetus =
|
macrosomia
= large for gestational age |
|
complications of macrosomia delivery:
(3) |
1. C-section
2. palsies 3. bone fractures |
|
other risks of GDM for the fetus:
(4) |
1. RDS
2. hypoglycemia 3. polycythemia 4. hypocalcemia |
|
3 risks of GDM for mom:
|
1. C-section rates higher
2. association with HTN 3. risk for DM later in life |
|
***unlike pregnancies complicated by pre-existing DM, in GDM there is NO:***
(2) |
1. NO significant inc'd risk for fetal anomalies
2. NO significant inc'd maternal microvascular complications |
|
**normal FPG = **
|
70-100
|
|
**remember: 80–90% of women with mild GDM can be managed with:**
|
lifestyle therapy alone (regardless of method of dx)
|
|
How should women with GDM be followed after delivery?
|
2-hr OGTT at 6-12 weeks, using non-preg criteria
- if normal, screen every 3 years as per us. (HbA1c, FPG) |
|
chronic pancreatitis =
|
persistent destruction of the pancreatic parenchyma, replaced by fibrosis
- lesions generally start in the exocrine gland, with islets attacked later on |
|
clinical course of chronic pancreatitis and diabetes:
(4) |
1. diabetes appears after several years of recurrent attacks of upper abdominal pain and pancreatic enzyme elevation
2. **by the time diabetes appears, pain has often disappeared** 3. low serum insulin levels => treatment with insulin 4. => infrequent ketosis, frequent insulin-induced hypoglycemia |
|
CFRD = Cystic Fibrosis Related Diabetes =
|
impaired insulin secretion with **variable degree of insulin resistance**
|
|
4 features of CFRD:
|
1. 50% of CF patients > 30 years old
2. insulin R is highest with illness, particularly with antibiotics or steroids 3. R even more prevalent after lung transplant 4. **insulin needs can vary (in the same individual)** from none, to insulin at meals only, to continuous high dose therapy |
|
complications of CFRD:
