SPP Case #2: Diabetes


Pathophysiology Type 1 - Due to partial or complete loss of insulin production by pancreatic beta cells - Islet cell antibodies involved in etiology: patients will present with antibodies to islet cell proteins, meaning autoimmune process has begun Type 2 - Due to gradual resistance to insulin - Asymptomatic at first - Slowly develop insulin resistance, leading to obesity and other metabolic changes - Diagnosed based on finding elevated levels of glucose in blood, or glucose in urine - Abnormal levels: >125 mg/dL fasting or >200 mg/dL any time - Can be treated in earlier stages with oral medication and lifestyle management (diet, exercise) - Need to cut back on carbs more than any other nutrient 90-95% Usually over 40 years old 80% obese Sedentary Increased Occasionally asymptomatic Occasionally Rarely Rarely Rarely Occasionally Never

Treatment

Insulin supplements

Prevalence of all cases Age Weight Lifestyle Infection risk Symptomatic Weakness or fatigue Polydypsia(Inc thirst)/ polyuria(Inc urination) Polyphagia( Inc Hunger) with weight loss Blurry vision Peripheral neuropathy Ketonemia( excessive ketone bodies in blood) or ketonuria (ketone bodies in the urine)

5-10% Any age, but usually young Thin to average No associations found Increased Mostly symptomatic Often Often (3Ps) Often Often (increased ECF glucose causes swelling) Rarely Often

Long-term complications Result from hyperglycemia and metabolic changes Leading cause of polyneuropathy, end-stage renal disease, and blindness Eyes

o Damage of arterioles or retina microaneurysms, hemorrhages o Increased formation of cataracts o Gradual vision loss can lead to blindness Kidneys o Glomerular renal damage diagnosed by elevated protein and glucose in urine o Decreased renal function results in renal failure Vascular and Nervous systems o Increased atherosclerosis o Polyneuropathy (damaged nerves, especially in the periphery), angiopathy (damaged vessels, especially coronary arteries and feet) Combined with an infection, may need to amputate feet or leg GI tract can also develop autonomic dysfunction o Smoking greatly increases risk of atherosclerotic (cardiovascular) disease in diabetics 95% of all amputees are smokers because of decreased oxygen to tissues Increases blood pressure, lipids, insulin resistance
