INTRODUCTION
Definition Diabetes is a group of diseases characterized by high blood glucose levels that result from defects in the body's ability to produce and/or use insulin. Prevalence and Incidence More than 220 million people worldwide have diabetes and by 2025 this total is expected to increase to over 380 million In 2004, an estimated 3.4 million people died from consequences of high blood sugar In the Philippines, there are about 4 million diabetics, with more than 3 million not knowing they have it. Out of the 1 million who know they have the disease, only 200,000 are undergoing treatment
Risk and Predisposing Factors Age older than 45 Family history of diabetes Overweight Inactive lifestyle Diet Race Hypertension High blood cholesterol levels Heart disease Manifestations Classical symptoms: Excessive thirst (Polydipsia) Frequent urination (Polyuria) Excessive eating Polyphagia Unexplained weight loss Other symptoms include: Fatigue
Poor wound healing Altered mental status Blurry vision Different types of Diabetes Mellitus Types of Diabetes Mellitus Factors Type 1 Synonyms Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM); juvenileonset diabetes
Type 2 Non-insulindependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM); or adult-onset diabetes Begins as insulin resistance, a disorder in which the cells do not use insulin properly. As the need for insulin rises, the pancreas gradually loses its ability to produce insulin Usually occurs in clients over 35 years of age but is increasingly being diagnosed in children and adolescents
Gestational Diabetes
Description
Body's immune system destroys pancreatic beta cells, the only cells in the body that make the hormone insulin that regulates blood glucose
Age of onset
Usually strikes children and young adults, although disease onset can occur at any age (before 30y/o)
Pregnant women
After pregnancy, 5% to 10% of women with gestational diabetes are found to have type 2 diabetes
Little or none
Below normal; or above normal Autoimmune, Associated with genetic, and older age, environmental obesity, family factors history of diabetes, history of gestational diabetes, impaired glucose metabolism, physical inactivity, and race/ethnicity 5% to 10% 90% to 95% May occur Unlikely to occur Required Necessary only 20-30% for
Management
Diet, exercise, Diet, exercise, and insulin oral hypoglycemic agent (OHA) and/or insulin
20% to 30% May or may not occur Required during pregnancy especially those remain overweight after delivery Some are obese; some with normal weight during pregnancy Diet, exercise, oral hypoglycemic agent (OHA) and/or insulin
Diagnostic Studies 1. Fasting Blood Glucose Test FBS is a diagnostic exam that involves drawing of blood after at least 8 hours of fasting to evaluate circulating amounts of glucose. The normal value for FBS should be 70-99mg/dl. Fasting blood glucose result of greater than or equal to 100 mg/dl demands close follow-up and repeat monitoring.
2. Random Blood Glucose Test Random blood glucose screening involves drawing of blood anytime of the day regardless of whether the person has eaten or not. However, the time and content of the last meal should be noted. Random blood glucose result of greater than or equal to 200mg/dl should be monitored closely. 3. Oral Glucose Tolerance Test The oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is principally used for diagnosis when blood glucose levels are equivocal, during pregnancy, or in epidemiological studies. The oral glucose tolerances test (OGTT), also referred to as the glucose tolerance test, measure the bodys ability to metabolize glucose, or clear it out of the bloodstream. The test should be performed in the morning on subjects who have had at least 3 days of unrestricted diet. The subject should have fasted overnight for 10-16 hours and remain seated and not smoke throughout the test. A fasting blood sample should be collected, after which the subject should drink 75 g of glucose in a concentration no greater than 25 g per 100 ml. Commercially prepared carbohydrate loads equivalent to this are available. For 75 grams of glucose, normal blood glucose values are: 1 hour: less than 200 mg/dL 2 hours: less than 140 mg/dL. Between 140-200 mg/dL indicates impaired glucose tolerance (prediabetes). If test results are in this range, a patient is at an increased risk for developing diabetes. Greater than 200 mg/dL indicates diabetes. Management
Blood pressure and cholesterol control Careful self testing of blood glucose levels Education Exercise Foot care Meal planning and weight control Medication or insulin use

the abdomen behind the stomach. The pancreas has digestive and hormonal functions. One part of the pancreas, the exocrine pancreas, secretes digestive enzymes. The other part of the pancreas, the endocrine pancreas consists of pancreatic islets (Islets of Langerhans) dispersed among the exocrine portion and secretes hormones called insulin and glucagon. These hormones regulate the level of glucose (sugar) in the blood. The pancreas secretes insulin in response to elevated levels of blood glucose and amino acids. Insulin increases the rate at which many tissues, including adipose tissue, liver, and skeletal muscles, take up glucose and amino acids. The pancreas secretes glucagon in response to reduced blood glucose and increases the rate at which the liver releases glucose into the blood.
elevated blood glucose levels and increased parasympathetic stimulation that is associated with digestion of a meal. Increased blood levels of certain amino acids also stimulate insulin secretion. Decreased insulin secretion results from decreasing blood glucose levels and from stimulation by the sympathetic division of the nervous system. Sympathetic stimulation of the pancreas occurs during physical activity. Decreased insulin levels allow blood glucose to be conserved to provide the brain with adequate glucose and to allow other tissues to metabolize fatty acids and glycogen stored in the cells.
Glucagon is released from the alpha cells when blood glucose levels
are low. Glucagon binds to membrane-bound receptors primarily in the liver and cause the conversion of glycogen stored in the liver to glucose. The glucose is then released into the blood to increase blood glucose levels. After a meal, when blood glucose levels are elevated, glucagon secretion is reduced.
Insulin and glucagon function together to regulate blood glucose
glucose
increases, and glucagon secretion decreases. When blood glucose levels decrease, the rate of insulin secretion declines, and the rate of glucagon secretion increases. Other hormones, such as to epinephrine, decrease, cortisol, and growth hormone, also function hormones are secreted at a greater
maintain blood levels of nutrients. When blood glucose levels these rate. Epinephrine and cortisol cause the breakdown of protein and fat and the synthesis of glucose to help increase blood levels of nutrients. Growth hormone slows protein breakdown and favors fat breakdown.
