What is it? It is the defect of insulin production, or action that
results in high levels of blood glucose.
Insulin is a hormone that reacts with cells to allow glucose intake.
A metabolic disorder characterized
by chronic hyperglycaemia with
disturbances of carbohydrate, fat
and protein metabolism.
What are it’s symptoms ? Thirst, excessive urination, blurring of vision, and
weight loss.
In its most severe forms, blood acidity levels may increase and lead to unconsciousness, coma and, in absence of effective treatment, death.
Symptoms take a while to appear, so it may take a long time before the diagnosis is made.
What are it’s Effects ?
Blindness
Foot ulcers
Amputation
Autonomic dysfunction, e.g. sexual dysfunction.
Increased risk of peripheral vascular, cardiovascular
and cerebrovascular disease.
Types of Diabetes Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Gestational Diabetes
Other types:
LADA ( Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults)
MODY ( Maturity-Onset Diabetes of Youth)
Secondary Diabetes Mellitus
Type 1 Diabetes Previously called insulin-dependent diabetes
mellitus (IDDM).
Develops when the body’s immune system destroys pancreatic beta cells.
Usually strikes children and young adults, although disease onset can occur at any age.
Accounts for 5% to 10% of all diagnosed cases of diabetes.
Risk factors for type 1 diabetes may include autoimmune, genetic, and environmental factors.
Type 2 diabetes Previously called non-insulin-dependent diabetes
mellitus (NIDDM).
Begins as insulin resistance. As the need for insulin rises, the pancreas gradually loses its ability to produce insulin.
Associated with older age, obesity, family history of diabetes, history of gestational diabetes, impaired glucose metabolism, physical inactivity, and race/ethnicity.
Account for about 90% to 95% of all diagnosed cases of diabetes.
Gestational diabetes Diagnosed in some women
during pregnancy.
It is common among obese
women and women with a
family history of diabetes.
After pregnancy, 5% to 10% of women with gestational diabetes are found to have type 2 diabetes.
Prediabetes People with prediabetes may have impaired fasting
glucose (IFG), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), or both.
IFG is a condition in which the fasting blood glucose level is elevated after an overnight fast but is not high enough to be classified as diabetes.
IGT is a condition in which the blood glucose level is elevated, but is not high enough to be classified as diabetes.
Prediabetes Cont’d Progression to diabetes is not inevitable.
Weight loss and increased physical activity may prevent or delay diabetes and may return blood glucose levels to normal.
People with prediabetes are already at increased risk for other adverse health outcomes such as heart disease and stroke.
How can it be Managed ? The major components of the treatment of diabetes
are:
• Diet and ExerciseA
• Oral Anti-Diabetic AgentsB
• Insulin TherapyC
A. Diet Diet is a basic part of management in every case.
Treatment cannot be effective unless suitable attention is given to ensuring appropriate nutrition.
Dietary treatment should aim at:
● ensuring weight control.
● providing nutritional requirements.
● allowing good blood glucose level control
A. Exercise Encourages weight reduction
and improves insulin
sensitivity, thus lowering
blood glucose levels.
A program of regular physical activity and exercise should be accommodate to the individual’s health status and fitness.
B. Oral Anti-Diabetic Agents There are currently five classes of oral anti-diabetic
agents:
Biguanides
Sulfonylureas
Meglitinides
Thiazolidinediones (TZDs)
Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors
C. Insulin TherapyShort-term use:
Acute illness, surgery, stress and emergencies
Pregnancy
Breast-feeding
Insulin may be used as initial therapy in type 2 diabetes
Severe metabolic decompensation
Long-term use:
Multi-dose insulin therapy
Insulin sensitizers can be used
Self-Care
Patients should be educated to practice self-care. Self-care should include:
• Blood glucose monitoring• Body weight monitoring• Foot-care• Personal hygiene• Healthy lifestyle • Identify targets for control• Stopping smoking
Get more physical activity
There are many benefits to regular physical activity. Exercise can help you:
• Lose weight
• Lower your blood sugar
• Boost your sensitivity to insulin — which helps keep
your blood sugar within a normal range
Get plenty of fiberIt's tough — and it may help you:
• Reduce your risk of diabetes by improving your blood sugar control
• Lower your risk of heart disease
• Promote weight loss by helping you feel full
Foods high in fiber include fruits, vegetables, beans, whole grains.
