Diabetes mellitus
Transcript of Diabetes mellitus
• A chronic syndrome of impaired carbohydrate,
protein, and fat metabolism owing to insufficient
secretion of insulin or to target tissue insulin
resistance, characterized by polydipsia, polyuria and
polyphagia.
What is Diabetes Mellitus?
• TYPE1 DIABETES
Type 1 diabetes mellitus is characterized by loss of the insulin-producing beta cells of the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas leading to
insulin deficiency. Type 1 diabetes can affect children or adults but was
traditionally termed "juvenile diabetes" because it represents a
majority of the diabetes cases in children.
CLASSIFICATION
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is characterized by insulin resistance which may be combined with relatively
reduced insulin secretion. At this stage hyperglycemia can be reversed by a variety of measures & medications
that improve insulin sensitivity or reduce glucose
production by the liver.
TYPE 2 DIABETES
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) resembles type 2 diabetes in several respects, involving a combination of
relatively inadequate insulin secretion and responsiveness. It occurs in about 2%–5% of all pregnancies and may improve or disappear after delivery. This is particularly problematic as
diabetes raises the risk of complications during pregnancy, as well as increasing the potential that the children of diabetic mothers will also become
diabetic in the future.
GESTATIONAL DIABETES
CAUSES OF DIABETES MELLITUS
•Type 1 diabetes is also partly inherited and then triggered by certain infections, with some evidence
pointing at Coxsackie B4 virus
•Type 2 diabetes is due primarily to lifestyle factors and genetics.

PATHOPHISIOLOGY
Insulin is the principal hormone that regulates uptake of glucose from the blood into most cells (primarily muscle and fat cells, but not central nervous system cells). Therefore deficiency of
insulin or the insensitivity of its receptors plays a central role in all forms of diabetes mellitus.

DIAGNOSIS
Diabetes mellitus is characterized by recurrent or persistent hyperglycemia, and is diagnosed by
demonstrating any one of the following
* Fasting plasma glucose level ≥ 7.0 mmol/L (126 mg/dL).
* Plasma glucose ≥ 11.1 mmol/L (200 mg/dL) two hours after a 75 g oral glucose load as in a glucose
tolerance test. * Symptoms of hyperglycemia and casual plasma
glucose ≥ 11.1 mmol/L (200 mg/dL)* Glycated hemoglobin (Hb A1C) ≥ 6.5%.
COMPLICATIONDiabetes doubles the risk of vascular problems,
including cardiovascular disease.Glycated hemoglobin is better than fasting glucose for determining risks of cardiovascular disease and
death from any cause.

MANAGEMENT
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease which is difficult to cure. Management concentrates on keeping blood sugar levels as close to normal
("euglycemia") as possible without presenting undue patient danger. This can usually be with close dietary
management, exercise, and use of appropriate medications (insulin only in the case of type 1
diabetes mellitus. Oral medications may be used in the case of type 2 diabetes,
