Term
what is the main way to distinguish between diabetes mellitus and insipidus
Definition
melllitus has glucose in the urine
Term
why is the glucose in the urine in diabetes
Definition
glucose in the blood exceeds capacity for reahsption so it is excreted in the urine
Term
what is the cause of type I diabetes (3)
Definition
B cells cant make enough insulin, destoried B cells dont respond to glucose, B cell lesions and necrosis
Term
what are 5 signs of type I diabetes
Definition
polydipsia
polyphagia
polyuria
ketoacidosis
hyperglycemia
Term
describe the typical type I diabetes patient
Definition
onset in childhood
looks undernourished
Term
does diabetes have a genetic predisposition
Definition
type II more than type I. but yes
Term
what is the treatment for type I diabetes
Definition
exogenous insulin
Term
describe the typical type II diabetes patient
Definition
over 30yo
obease
Term
what is the cause of type II diabetes
Definition
insulin resistant and inabilit to make enough insulin
can progress to be like type I
Term
what is the treatment for type II diabetes
Definition
weight reduction, exercise, dietary modification
oral hypoglycemics
last resort: exogenous insulin
Term
what are 6 complications of diabetes

increased BP
neuropathy
proteinuria
cardiovascular disease (more type II)
diabetic retinopathy
diabetic neuropathy
Term
what is the treatment for neuropathy and proteinuria
Definition

what is the treatment for diabetic cardiovascular disease
Definition
statins lower lipid and cholesterol, stop smoking
Term
what is the treatment for diabetic neuropathy
Definition
foot care, ulcer care, erythromycin for vagus neuropathy causing GI immotility
Term
what are the two types of diabetes insipidus, what causes each
Definition
central: deficiency in ADH
nephrogenic: lack of response to ADH
Term
how can you distinguish between central and nephrogenic diabetes insipidus
Definition
demopressin replaces ADH so if urine production decreases they have central
Term
how does diabetes insipidus cause disease (no matter which type)
Definition
causes lack of reabsorption of water in the CD
Term
where is insulin made
Definition
B cells of islets of langerhans
Term
what are normal fasting insulin levels
Definition
80-120 mg/dL
Term
what occurs in fasting metabolism
Definition
adipose releases FA which is processed in liver to glucose
pancreas releases glucagon which signals to the liver to make glucose
glucose is first used in the brain then other major organs
Term
what are normal prandial insulin levels
Definition
<180 mg/dL
Term
what occurs in prandial metabolism
Definition
carbs are ingested and turned into glucose which is ingested and distributed to the organs
pancreas releases insulin which tells the liver, muscle, and adipose to store glucose
Term
how does glucose get into the cell
Definition
insulin turns on GLUT facilitated diffusion transporters which activate TK which intrinsically phosphorlyates various substrates

insulin stimulates translocation of GLUT4 transporters to the membrane allowing for glucose to get into the cell
Term
how are B cells activated to release insuln
Definition
glucose comes through GLUT2 receptors and glucokinase phosphorlyates it so it can stay in the cell.

G6P is shuttled to ATP production which increases ATP in relation to ADP

ratio switches on K channel and cell moves from basal state (hyperpolarized and inhibited) to depolarized

this causes Ca cannels to open and Ca moves in stimulating release of insulin
Term
how is insulin made
Definition
single chain precursor called preproinsuln (A and B chains connected by C peptide) is cleaved in ER to proinsulin, processed in golgi to insulin, and released with C peptide
Term
what is the clinical significance of C peptide
Definition
helps determine if insulin levels are due to edogenous (no C) or endogenous (has C) insulin
Term
what is the best determinant of insulin levels, why
Definition
HBA1C because it shows BG over several months
Term
what is the cycle of insulin
Definition
increases after a meal and is at low basal levels between meals
Term
