3. • global pandemic principally involves type 2 diabetes
• a clinical syndrome characterized by an increase in plasma blood glucose
(hyperglycaemia)
• Type 1 diabetes is caused by autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing cells
(β cells) in the pancreas
• type 2 diabetes is characterised by resistance to the action of insulin
• The diagnostic criteria for diabetes (a fasting plasma glucose ≥ 7.0 mmol/L
(126 mg/dL) or glucose 2 hours after an oral glucose challenge ≥ 11.1 mmol/L
(200 mg/dL)
4. • associated with genetic as well as environmental factors such as greater
longevity, obesity, unsatisfactory diet, sedentary lifestyle, increasing
urbanisation
6. AETIOLOGY AND PATHOGENESIS
• TYPE 1 DIABETES
• type 1 diabetes is a t cell-mediated autoimmune
diseasedestruction of the insulin-secreting β cells in
the pancreatic islets.,

Identical twin 35
Non-identical twin 20

Both parents Up to 30
9. GENETIC PREDISPOSITION
• the inheritance is polygenic
• Genes on the short arm of chromosome 6; this locus is designated IDDM 1
• The HLA haplotypes DR3 and/or DR4 are associated with increased
susceptibility to type 1 diabetes
10. ENVIRONMENTAL PREDISPOSITION
• direct toxicity to β cells or by stimulating an autoimmune reaction directed
against β cells.
• Viruses: mumps, Coxsackie B4, retroviruses,rubella (in utero), cytomegalovirus
and Epstein–Barr
• virus.
• dietary nitrosamines, coffee, Bovine serum albumin(BSA),
11.
12. TYPE 2 DIABETES
• initially, insulin resistance leads to elevated insulin secretion
• the pancreatic β cells are unable to sustain the increased demand for insulin
and a slowly progressive insulin deficiency develops.
• ‘insulin resistance syndrome’ or ‘metabolic syndrome’,:
• ‘adipokines’:
• Pancreatic β-cell failure
• Genetic predisposition
13. ENVIRONMENTAL AND
OTHER RISK FACTORS
• DIET AND OBESITY
• Overeating, underactivity
• AGE
• more common in the middle-aged and elderly
14. • At diagnosis, patients are often asymptomatic or give a long history of fatigue,
with or
without ‘osmotic symptoms’ (thirst and polyuria)
15. OTHER FORMS OF DIABETES
• ‘maturity-onset diabetes of the young’ (MODY)
• latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA).

17. SYMPTOMS OF HYPERGLYCAEMIA
• THIRST, DRY MOUTH
• POLYURIA
• NOCTURIA
• TIREDNESS, FATIGUE, LETHARGY
• CHANGE IN WEIGHT (USUALLY WEIGHT LOSS)
• BLURRING OF VISION
• PRURITUS VULVAE, BALANITIS (GENITAL CANDIDIASIS)
• HYPERPHAGIA; PREDILECTION FOR SWEET FOODS
• MOOD CHANGE, IRRITABILITY, DIFFICULTY IN CONCENTRATING, APATHY
18. INVESTIGATIONS
• BLOOD GLUCOSE:
• to make the diagnosis of diabetes, the blood glucose concentration should be
estimated using
• an accurate laboratory method rather than a glucometer
• Whole blood glucose concentrations are lower than plasma concentrations
because red blood cells contain relatively little glucose
• Venous plasma values are usually the most reliable
• BLOOD KETONE:
• detects β-OHB the major ketone in blood during DKA
19. • URINE TESTING
• For Glucose with dipsticksdisadvantage of urinary glucose
measurement is the individual variation in renal threshold for
glucose.;
• albumin (both macro- and micro-albuminuria)
• KETONES
20. • GLYCATED HAEMOGLOBIN
• Glycated haemoglobin provides an accurate and objective measure of glycaemic
control integrated over a period of weeks to months.
• HbA1c estimates may be erroneously diminished in anaemia or during
pregnancy, and may be difficult to interpret with some assay methods in
patients who have uraemia or a haemoglobinopathy.
21. • DIABETES
• FASTING ≥ 7.0 MMOL/L (126 MG/DL) OR
• A RANDOM GLUCOSE ≥ 11.1 MMOL/L (200 MG/DL) (
• IFCC HBA1C OF MORE THAN 48 MOLL/MOL
• PRE-DIABETES:
• IFG OR IGT,BASED UPON THE FASTING PLASMA GLUCOSE ≥ 6.0 (108 MG/DL) AND < 7.0
MMOL/L (126 MG/DL) AND 2-HOUR ORAL GLUCOSE TOLERANCE TEST RESULTS (OGTT) AFTER
75 G ORAL GLUCOSE DRINK 7.8–11.1 MMOL/L (140–200 MG/DL)
• ‘STRESS HYPERGLYCAEMIA: DURING SEVERE STRESS, OR DURING TREATMENT WITH
DIABETOGENIC DRUGS
22. DIABETES IN PREGNANCY
• HIGH-RISK WOMEN SHOULD HAVE A 75 G ORAL GLUCOSE TOLERANCE TEST BEFORE
28 WEEKS’ GESTATION
• GESTATIONAL DIABETES IS DIAGNOSED WHEN:
• FASTING PLASMA GLUCOSE ≥ 5.1 MMOL/L (92 MG/DL) OR
• 1-HR PLASMA GLUCOSE (AFTER GLUCOSE LOAD) ≥ 10 MMOL/L
• (180 MG/DL) OR
• 2-HR PLASMA GLUCOSE (AFTER GLUCOSE LOAD) ≥ 8 MMOL/L(144 MG/DL)
• CONSIDER TESTING HIGH-RISK WOMEN AT FIRST BOOKING VISIT WITH AN HBA1C
23. MANAGEMENT
• DIETARY
• LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION
• ORAL ANTI-DIABETIC DRUGS AND
• INJECTED THERAPIESINSULINS
• BLOOD GLUCOSE TARGETS:PRE-MEAL VALUES BETWEEN 4 AND 7 MMOL/L (72
AND 126 MG/DL) AND 2-HOUR POST-MEAL VALUES BETWEEN 4 AND 8 MMOL/L
REPRESENT OPTIMAL CONTROL
• THE TARGET HBA1C: 6.5% -7.5%
24. DRUGS
• BIGUANIDES
• METFORMIN FIRST-LINE THERAPY FOR TYPE 2 DIABETES
• THE MAIN SIDE-EFFECTS ARE DIARRHOEA, ABDOMINAL CRAMPS, BLOATING AND
NAUSEA.
• AN‘INSULIN SENSITISER’ , ITS MAIN EFFECTS ARE ON FASTING GLUCOSE
• DOES NOT CAUSE HYPOGLYCAEMIA
• HAS ESTABLISHED BENEFITS IN MICROVASCULAR DISEASE
• INTRODUCED AT LOW DOSE (500 MG TWICE DAILY)
• THE USUAL MAINTENANCE DOSE IS 1 G TWICE DAILY
• CAN INCREASE SUSCEPTIBILITY TO LACTIC ACIDOSIS
25. • SULPHONYLUREAS:gliclazide, glibenclamide, glimepiride, glipizide
• ‘insulin secretagogues’, long-term benefits in lowering microvascular
complications
• act by closing the pancreatic β-cell ATP-sensitive potaglimepiridessium (KATP)
channel, decreasing K+ efflux, which ultimately triggers insulin secretion.
• used as an add-on to metformin
• The main adverse effects of sulphonylureas are weight gain and hypoglycaemia
26. • ALPHA-GLUCOSIDASE INHIBITORS:acarbose, miglitol
• delay carbohydrate absorption in the gut by inhibiting disaccharidases
• lower post-prandial blood glucose
• The main side-effects are flatulence, abdominal bloating and diarrhea
• THIAZOLIDINEDIONES:pioglitazone
• TZDs enhance the actions of endogenous insulin, in part directly (in the adipose
cells) and in part indirectly (by altering release of ‘adipokines’,such as
adiponectin, which alter insulin sensitivity in the liver)
• hypoglycaemia does not occur
27. DPP-4 INHIBITORS AND
GLP-1 ANALOGUES
• INCRETIN EFFECT:
• THE ‘GLIPTINS’, OR DPP-4 INHIBITORS:sitagliptin, vildagliptin, saxagliptin
and linagliptin
• PREVENT BREAKDOWN AND THEREFORE ENHANCE CONCENTRATIONS OF
ENDOGENOUS GLP-1 AND GIP
• WEIGHT-NEUTRAL
• INJECTABLE GLP-1 ANALOGUESEXENATIDE (TWICE DAILY), EXENATIDE MR (ONCE
WEEKLY) AND LIRAGLUTIDE (ONCE DAILY).
• lower blood glucose and result in weight loss, these agents do not cause
hypoglycaemia
28. SGLT2 INHIBITORS
• DAPAGLIFLOZIN
• sglt2 is involved in reabsorption of glucose. inhibition results in approximately
25% of the filtered glucose not being reabsorbed, with consequent glycosuria.
Less severe hyperglycaemia is called ‘impaired glucose tolerance’. This is not associated with a substantial risk of microvascular disease, but is connected with an increased risk of large vessel disease
marked hyperglycaemia, accompanied by the classical symptoms of diabetes, occurs only when 80–90% of the functional capacity of β cells has been lost
The risk of developing type 2 diabetes increases tenfold in people with a body mass index (BMI) of more than 30 kg/m2
some drugs (such as β-lactam antibiotics, levodopa and salicylates) may interfere with urine glucose tests.
increases the amount in the HbA1 (HbA1c) fraction relative to nonglycated adult haemoglobin (HbA0). IFCC-standardised HbA1c values are reported
in mmol/mol., IFCC HbA1c (mmol/mol) = [DCCT HbA1c(%)−2.15] × 10.929
Hypoglycaemia occurs because the closure of KATP channels brings about unregulated insulin secretionThe dose–response of all sulphonylureas issteepest at low doses; little additional benefit is obtained when the dose is increased to maximal levels.
Pioglitazone has a beneficial effect in reducing fatty liver and NASH
