Require .insulin .replacement .at .all .times .to .treat .hyperglycemia

Failure .to .supplement .insulin .leads .to:

Diabetic .ketoacidosis .(DKA) .(can .be .life-threatening)

Chronic .complications .of .diabetes

Pathophysiology.of.type. 2 .DM

  • A .combination .of .defective .insulin .secretion .and .decreased .insulin .sensitivity.
  • Defective .insulin .secretion: - Insulin. secretion. by. 𝐀. cells. requires. glucose. transport. into. the. cell - Mediated .by .glucose .transporter. 2 .(GLUT-2) - Obesity .and .high-fat .diet .may .affect .this .transport, .causing .decreased .insulin .secretion
  • Peripheral .insulin .resistance: - With .constant .high .intake .of .glucose, .there .is .a .constant .high .demand .for .insulin. - Hyperinsulinemia .leads .to .decrease .in .sensitivity .of .the .insulin .receptors .in .liver,

.muscle, .and .adipose .cells.

  • Down-regulation .of .receptors .leads .to .vicious .cycle .of .high .insulin .levels.
  • Additional .mechanisms:

Impaired .hepatic .sensitivity .to .insulin .leads .to .lack .of .inhibition .of .glycogenolysis

.and .gluconeogenesis

  • Hyperglycemia. can. impair. pancreatic. 𝐀-cell. function. and. exacerbate. insulin. resistance.
  • High .demand .for .insulin .and .excessive .production .of .pancreatic .enzymes .causes .pro- . amylin .accumulation .and .pancreatic .apoptosis.
  • Progressive. pancreatic. 𝐀-cell. failure

DM .testing

.Guidelines

Testing .for .prediabetes .and .type. 2 .diabetes .should

.be .considered .for .all .asymptomatic .adult .patients

.who .are .overweight .(BMI .>25 .or .>23 .in .Asian

.Americans) .and .have. 1 .or .more .risk .factors.

Testing .for .all .patients .should .begin .at. 45 .years .of

.age. .If .testing .results .are .normal, .repeat .testing

.every. 3 .years .is .recommended. .Diabetes .and

.prediabetes .may .be .screened .for .with .the .use .of .a

.fasting. plasma. glucose. (FBG),. hemoglobin. A1C,. or

.2-h .plasma .glucose .(2-h .PG) .level .during .a. 75 .g .oral

.glucose .tolerance .test .(OGTT).

Urine .glucose .levels, .fasting .insulin .levels, .and .c-

.peptide .levels .are .often .used .during .the .evaluation

.and .treatment .of .type. 1 .and .type. 2 .diabetes.

Thyroid .Dysfunctions

Hypothyroid

Signs .include .cold .intolerance, .weight

.gain, .muscle .fatigue, .constipation,

.swelling .of .the .hands, .and .dry .skin.

Laboratory .tests, .including .for

thyroid-stimulating .hormone .and .total

.thyroxine .and .triiodothyronine .levels,

.are .required .to .confirm .the .disease

.and .determine .medication .dosages.

Levothyroxine .(Synthroid) .is .the .most

.common .medication .treatment .for

.hypothyroidism.

Hyperthyroid

  • Caused .by .overproduction .of .thyroid

.hormones, .creating .an .increase .in

.the .body’s .metabolism.

  • More .common .in .women .and .may .result

.from .autoimmune .conditions .(such .as

.Graves .disease), .goiter, .or .iodine

.administration. .This .results .in .weight .loss,

.increased .heart .rate, .heat .intolerance,

.and .often .anxiety.

  • Patients .may .also .experience .lid .lag,

.emotional .lability, .amenorrhea, .and

.palpitations. .Many .of .these .symptoms .are

.caused .by .an .increased .sympathetic

.response.
