Diabetes Mellitus By Harvi & Manpreet
2
What Is It? complex metabolic disorder elevated blood glucose concentration secondary to resistance to action of insulin or insufficient insulin or both concerns beta cells of islets of langerhans
3
Type 1 VS Type 2 Type 1Type 2 Onsetearlylater life Triggersinfections or idiopathic high BMI & hyperglycaemia Ketoacidosis (DKA)more likely if poorly controlled rare Treatmentinsulin or pancreatic transplants (rare) attempt lifestyle interventions before pharmacological interventions Prognosisno recovery to beta cells weight loss and exercise
4
DM Symptoms polyuria polydipsia weight loss nocturia fatigue slow wound healing repeated UTIs blurred vision
5
Steps Of Insulin Secretion 1. extracellular glucose is transported into the beta cell via GLUT 2 2. glucose is metabolised which increases ATP:ADP ratio within the cell 3. this causes the closure of ATP-dependent potassium channels 4. closure of potassium channels leads to cell membrane depolarisation 5. membrane depolarisation causes opening of voltage-gated calcium channels and an influx of calcium into the cell 6. calcium influx leads to exocytosis of stored insulin vesicles
6
Complications Of DM Microvascular nephropathy retinopathy neuropathy Macrovascular ischaemic heart disease cerebrovascular disease peripheral vascular disease
7
Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) medical emergency characterising hallmarks = hyperglycaemia, acidosis and high ketones can be triggered by precipitating conditions or physiological stresses
8
Signs Of DKA Early worsening polydipsia worsening polyuria Acute/Late decreased consciousness hypotension tachycardia hyperventilation abdominal discomfort
9
Treatment Of DKA Insulin IV Rehydration Therapy: IV Fluids Possibly Bicarbonate Replacement
