Classification

Type 1... IDDM


Require insulin to survive


Onset typically in youth


Not related to obesity



Type 2... NIDDM


insulin levels are normal or high, but may diminish over years of having DM.


insulin resistance(due to obesity) plays major role


Goes undiagnosed for many years



Impaired glucose tolerance


Fasting glucose btn 110 and 125mg/dl


Or 2 hr postprandial glucose btn 140 and 199mg/dL


Inc risk of developing type 2 Dm and CV dx

Pathogen. Of type 1 DM

Autoimmune dx... immune system mediates destruction of Bcells


Develops in genetically susceptible indv who are exposed to env factors that's trigger the autoimmune response


Overt IDDM occurs after 90% of Bcells are destroyed

Pathogen of type 2 (risk factors)

Obesity (greatest RF)


associated with inc plasma levels of FFAs which makes muscles more insulin resistant, reducing glucose uptake. Therefore obesity exacerbates insulin resistance.


In liver, FFAs inc glucose production



Genetics



Hx: fam hx, hx of gestational DM



Age... insulin production decreases with age



OGHA

Diagnosis

1. 2 FBS >125mg/dL/ 7 mmol/l (N 3.9-6.1mmol/L)


2. Single glucose lvl of 200mg/dL /11mmol/L (N 3.2 to 7.8 mmol/L) with symptoms


3. Inc glucose lvl on OGTT > 11.1mmol/L


4. HbA1c > 6.5%


Lack of compensation in type 2 DM

In normal indv pancreas release insulin in response to FFAs thus neutralising excess glucose


In type 2, FFAs fail to stimulate insulin secretion thus compensation doesn't occur and hyperglycemia ensues


Bcells become desensitized to glucose leading to decreased insulin secretion.


Symptoms

Polyuria


Polydipsia


Polyphagia


Fatigue


Wt loss


Blurred vision ... swelling of lens due to osmosis


Fungal infections of mouth and vagina cmn, C albicans thrives under increased glucose cdns


Numbness, tingling of hands and feet... neuropathy:


Mononeuropathy: due to microscopic vasculitis leading to axonal ischaemia


Polyneuropathy: etio multifactorial

When evaluating focus on

Neurological dx: neuropathies


Eyes: retinopathy


Vascular dx : CAD, PVD


Renal dx


The feet


Infectious dx

Head, heart, kidney, feet, infection

Chronic complications classes

Macrovascular


Micro vascular

Macrovascular complications

Accelerated atherosclerosis-> inc risk of stroke, MI, CHF


reason why target BP (130/80) is lower than gen pln(140/90) and why target LDL is < 100mg/dL


Cause unknown... glycatn of lipoproteins and Inc platelets adhesive ness/aggregation implicated.


Fibrinolysis impaired in diabetics



Manifestations of atherosclerosis:


CAD 2-4× > risk, mc cause of death in diabetics, silent MI cmn


PVD


Cerebrovascular disease (strokes)



Atherosclerosis!!!

Microvascular

Nephropathy


Retinopathy


Neuropathy


Diabetic foot


Inc susceptibility to infections

Acute complications

Diabetic ketoacidosis


Hyperosmolar hyperglycemic nonketotic syndrome


Tx

Type 2: diet and exercise


Oral hypoglycemics ( metformin 1st choice. Blocks gluconeogenesis. CI in patients with renal failure.)


Insulin


Surgical... wt loss ie gastric bypass. Islet cell transplantation
