Two hour post load glucose test

5-10% of all people Results from destruction of pancreatic beta cells Etiology: genetic, immunologic, and environmental (viruses) Onset at any age, usually <30 Usually thin with recent weight loss at diagnosis Have little or no endogenous insulin Often have antibodies to insulin Ketosis prone when insulin absent Tx: insulin to preserve life Acute complications of hyperglycemia=DKA

Type 1 Diabetes

Glucose derived from food cannot be stored in the liver, but instead remains in the blood stream and contributes to postprandial hyperglycemia

Type 1 Diabetes

Regardless of specific etiology, destruction of the beta cells results in unchecked glucose production by the liver and fasting hyperglycemia

Type 1 Diabetes

A metabolic disorder characterized by an absence of insulin production and secretion from autoimmune destruction of the beta cells of the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas; formerly called insulin-dependant, juvenile

Type 1 diabetes

Fat breakdown occurs resulting in increased production of ketone bodies (by product of fat breakdown)

Type 1 diabetes

Acute complications: Hyperglycemic Hyperosmolar Nonketotic Syndrome: HHNS

Type 2 DIabetes

Because its associated with a slow, progressive glucose intolerance, its onset may go undetected for many years. If the PT experiences symptoms, they are frequently mild and may include fatigue, irritability, polyuria, polydipsia, poorly healing skin wounds, vaginal infections, or blurred vision (if glucose levels are very high)

Type 2 Diabetes

Causes: obesity, heredity, & environmental factors Onset at any age, but usually > 30 Usually obese on diagnosis Slow progression.. may go undetected for years No islet cell antibodies Ketosis rare except in stress or infection

Type 2 Diabetes

Normally, insulin binds to special receptors on cell surfaces and initiates a series of reactions involved in glucose metabolism. These intracellular reactions are diminished = insulin less effective at stimulating glucose uptake by tissues

Type 2 Diabetes

Results from: decreased in endogenous insulin and/or decreased sensitivity to insulin (insulin resistance)

Type 2 Diabetes

There is enough insulin present to prevent the breakdown of fat and production of ketone bodies. Therefore, DKA does not occur.

Type 2 Diabetes

To overcome insulin resistance and to prevent the increase glucose causes increased secretion of insulin; however beta cells cannot keep up with increased demand for insulin, glucose rises

Type 2 Diabetes

Two main problems related to insulin are insulin resistance (decreased sensitivity of the tissues to insulin) and impaired insulin secretion

Type 2 Diabetes
