What is Diabetes Mellitus?

Diabainein in greek refers - to pass throughMel refers to- honeyDiabetes- “sweet urine”

Chronic metabolic disorder characterized- persistent hyperglycemia, altered metabolism of lipids, carbohydrates and proteins.

Etiological Classification

I. Type 1 diabetes - previously known as juvenile diabetes

insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM)

II. Type 2 diabetes - previously known as adult-onset diabetes

non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM)

III. Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM)

American Diabetes Association

Page 5: Complications+of+Diabetes

Type- I Diabetes Mellitus

T cell-mediated destruction of pancreatic ß-cells

Rapid onset, usually in childhood

Complete insulin deficiency

Absolute insulin requirement

Page 6: Complications+of+Diabetes

Type- II Diabetes Mellitus

Pancreas doesn’t produce enough insulin or cells ignore it (insulin resistance)

Most people with diabetes have type 2 (85%), occurs after 40 years of age

Associated with obesity & runs in families to some extent

Lifestyle issues prominent

Page 7: Complications+of+Diabetes

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM)

Any degree of glucose intolerance with onset during pregnancy

Return to normal glucose regulation after delivery is common

Increased perinatal morbidity and mortality if untreated

Page 8: Complications+of+Diabetes

Salient Clinical Symptoms

Disease of mainly three P’s

Polydipsia- Excessive ThirstPolyphagia- Excessive HungerPolyurea- Excessive Urination

Hyperglycemia Tiredness Loss of weight

Page 15: Complications+of+Diabetes

Microvascular Complications of Diabetes-1

Retinopathy: Damage to blood vessels in and around the retina. It could occur with varying degrees of severity.

Normal ------------- Small hemorrhages --------- Large hemorrhage

Page 16: Complications+of+Diabetes

Nephropathy: Glomeruli are damaged in the

kidneys. Results in loss of protein DIAGNOSTIC VALUE-Normal

microalbumin level is 30mg/24 hours.

May lead to kidney failure

Microvascular Complications of Diabetes-2

Page 17: Complications+of+Diabetes

Microvascular Complications of Diabetes-3

Neuropathy

Nerve fibres degenerate Blood vessels supplying the nerves are ‘grossly

diseased’

Mechanism of Complications of Diabetes

Page 19: Complications+of+Diabetes

Mechanisms causing diabetic complications-1

Accumulation of SorbitolPolyol (Polyhydroxy alcohols) Pathway

Sorbitol is formed from glucose catalyzed by aldose reductase This pathway is activated in hyperglycemia Sorbitol does not cross cell membranes, accumulates

intracellularly and produces osmotic stress. Sorbitol normally helps in osmoregulation

Page 20: Complications+of+Diabetes

Consequences of high Sorbitol concentration

• Osmotic damage to cells: caused by impermeable Sorbitol intracellularly

• Reduction in nerve myoinositol: causes decrease activity of Na/K ATP Pump- causes decreased nerve conduction velocity

• Inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) production: results in vasoconstriction and hypertension

• Increased production of free radicals: which cause oxidative damage to tissue

Page 21: Complications+of+Diabetes

Mechanisms causing diabetic complications-2

Glycation of Proteins

Sugars in the blood and inside cells form chemical bonds to proteins and to DNA by glycation or nonenzymatic glycosylation.

Over time, the glycated proteins are chemically modified to become molecular structures called Advanced Glycation Endproducts (AGEs).

Page 22: Complications+of+Diabetes

Pathological Consequencesof Glycation of Proteins in Diabetics

Crosslinking reduces the flexibility, elasticity and functionality of the proteins.

The chemical modifications of glycation and crosslinking can initiate harmful inflammatory and autoimmune responses.

Glycation has been found in connective tissue collagen, arterial collagen, kidney glomerular basement membrane, eye lens crystallins, nerve myelin proteins and in the circulating low-density lipoprotein (LDL) of the blood.

Diabetes is Managed,But it Does Not Go Away.

GOAL:To maintain target blood

glucose

Page 24: Complications+of+Diabetes

Management Of Diabetes Mellitus

The Fundamental Aim is - Glycemic Control

HbA1C < 7.0%

Pre-prandial PG 90 – 130 mg/dl

Postprandial PG < 180 mg/dl

Blood Pressure < 130/80 mmHg

Lipids - LDL < 100 mg/dlTriglycerides < 150 mg/dlHDL > 40 mg/dl

Page 25: Complications+of+Diabetes

Management Of DM

• Step 1: Diet and Exercise to achieve Euglycemia.

If Euglycemia not achieved; Follow Step 2.

• Step 2: Monotherapy with:– Sulfonylurea– Bigunide– Glitazones– Meglitinides (Repaglinides)– Alpha-glucosidase

• Step 3: Addition of second oral agent or Insulin.Consider Insulin therapy in Type I DM always.
