Term
causes fo hyeprglycemia in diabetes
Definition
liver produces glucose inapparopriately. Insulin normally represses liver glucose produciton, impaired insuli secretion prevents this. This also meansi mpaired taking up of glucose after meal

so when fasting= liver is dumping too much glucose

postprandially= impaired idsposal of glucose and uptake.

Term
Android obesity
Definition
metabolic obesity, increased abdominal fat. Adult weight gain, multipl asosciatedm etabolci abnormalities.
Term
pathogenesis of insulin sydnrome
Definition
abnormal insulin sensitity and secretion leads to hyperinsulinemia which leads to obesity. which leads to insulin resistance syndrome/metbolic syndrome.
Exacerbated by inactvitiy.
Term
Diagnosis of Metabolic syndrome
Definition
look at waist circumference.

also elevated TG, cholesterol, BP, and FPG.
Term
CVD risk rpogresison adn DM
Definition
happens prior to DM. patietns with emtabolci sydnrome already ahve increased CAD risk
Term
progression to type II DM
Definition
abnormal insulin sensitivy leads to icnreased insulin production which leads to central obesity leading to insulin resistance syndrome, Eventually **progressive loss of Beta cells** occurs due toh igh gluose and FFA, this leadt o imparied glucose tolerancea nd diabetes mellitus.
Term
Dm is acontinuum, levels keep getting proogressively worst.
Definition
Term
hyperglycemia relationship to beta cells and muscles
Definition
gulcose is toic to beta cells leading to insulin deficiency.

Hyperglycemia leads to insulin resistance, by downregulating glucose receptors, more insulin needed to maintain these receptors, since less receptors are required for the same amoutn of glucose to enter muscls
Term

mortality rate
Definition
Diabetic ketoacidosis:
age: less than 40
symptoms: less than 2 days
glucose level: less than 600
sodium level normal or low
bicarb level less than 15
Ph level less than 7.35
ketone present
Serum Osm less than 320
mortality rate 3-10 percent

NKHC:

common age more than 40
symptom duration more than 5 days
glucose level more than 600
sodium level normal or high
bicarb level more htan 15
Ph level more than 7.3
ketone absent
Serum Osm mroe than 320
mortality rate 10-20 percent
Term
signs and symtposm of DKA
Definition
polyuria, polyphagia, weight loss, abdominal pain nausea vomitting. kussmal respirations (to alleviate acidosis). Fruity odor to breath. dehydration, tachycardia and hypotension and luekocytsosis
Term
hormonal changes in DKA nad. NKHC
Definition
decreased insulin concentration/action, increased glucagon (further stimulating ketone formation)

increased catecholamines (from dehydration and acidosis, icnreased glucose production and lessu tilziation).
Term
ketone production route
Definition
due to low glucagon/high insulin- insulin is resposnbily for fully metabolziing FFa.

ketons are partially metabolized FFA
Term
development of dkA
Definition
Dehydration: caused by icnreased glucose levels and nausea/vomitting (vomitting due to acidosis)

increased glucose - due to increased glucagon, reduced insulin and increased catecholamines

Catecholamien activation: due to dehydration.

Acidosis- due to incomplete lipolysis.
and glucagon stimualting further ketone formaiton

lipolysis: due to low insulin levels (decreased glucose utilization) and increased catecholamines.
Term
anion gap calculation
Definition
sodium- cl - bicarb.
Term
DKA anion gap
Definition
high due to unmeasured acids- acetoacetate
Term
corrected sodium calcualtion
Definition
sodium plsu 1.6 per 100 mg/dl glucose due to fluid suckd out of cels causing dilutiional hyopnatermia
Term
effective osomolality
Definition
2(sodium plus potassium plus (glucose/18))

urea is freely permeable across cell. Omsolalliaty is what is correlated with mental function
Term
rsponsiveness of pathways to insulin
Definition
- increased plasma flux into cells causing hypokalemia
-lipolysis inhibition
-hepatic glucose output

-peirpheal glucose disposal
Term
DKA vs. hyperosmolar with regard to insulin levels and dehydration
Definition
much lessi nsulin si requierd to control fat metabolism than glucose metabolism, in NKHC, fat metabolism is under control, so we do not see symptoms .

DEHydration- rapid onset of hyperosmolarity inhibits lipolysis- another reason why we dont see ketones in NKHC
Term
NKCH more common in which diabetes
Definition
type II DM
Term
DKA more common in which diabetes

type I DM
Term
Diabetic complications overview
Definition
Microvascular: retinopathy, neuropathy, and nephropathy

macrovascular complications (accelerated atherosclerosis): stroke, heart disease, peripehral vascular disease
Term
complciation of DM occur in tissues that dont require insulin for glucose uptake
Definition
they readily aborb glucose better without insulin present, insulin dependant tissues cant, so the glucose increases to compensate so they can stil labsorb.
Term
msot common complication of DM
Definition
cardiovascular complications followed by renal
Term
gangrene occurs in DM
Definition
due to peripheral ascualr disease and neuropathy
Term
retinopathy dm featuers

eventually proliferative retinopathy hapepns with enovascularization- (ischemai causign growth of new blodo vessels)
Term
first manifstation of diabetic nepropathy
Definition
proteinuria, which wil lthen be follwod by decreased in creatinine clearance.
Term
3 types of diabetic neuropathy and features
Definition
diffuse sensonry motor:

universal in almost all diabetics, all senses , with a stockign glove distrubtion.

mononeruopathy: crnial nerves (occlusion in microvasculature)
radiculopathy

autonomic neuropathy- heavy mortaltiy asosciated with this.

not on slides but mentioned:

heavily associated with mortality- leads to delayed gastric emptying, gastroparesis, orhotsatic hypoetnsion and prdisposition to cardiac arrythmias
Term
etiology of DM complications
Definition
sorbitol and fructose accumulation

endothelial dysfunction-

nonenzymatic glycosylation
Term
sorbitol mechanism of damage

Definition
decrased insulin decrases capillary LP lipase, decrasing lipolysis of chylomicrons and vldl - (different from adipose tissue lipolysis, which is stimualted by lack f insulin)
Term
potassium status in DKA
Definition
leads to hyeprkalemia- due to protons going into itnracelluar space in exchagne for potassium going out, and lack of insulin effect shutnign potassium into cells

however Total body poatasisum is actually reduced, due to urinary excretion.
