Elena BobyBefore we begin,how confidentare you on
the topic of diabetes ?What we’ll be covering
1.Pathophysiology
2.Features
3.Investigations
4.Management
5.Complications Pathophysiology
Anautoimmunecondition wherethe insulin producing cellsof theislets
of langerhans in the pancreas aredestroyed by theimmune system
What isthe role of insulin in thebody?
A)Convert glucose into glucagon forstorage in theadiposetissue
B) Convert glucose into glycogen for storage in the adipose tissue
C)Convert glucose into glycogen for storage in the muscle and liver
D)Convert glucose into ketone bodies as a reserve energy resource What is the roleof insulin in the body?
A)Convert glucose into glucagon forstorage in theadiposetissue
- glucagonis the hormonethat turns glycogen back into
glucosewhen energyis needed
A)Convert glucose into glycogen for storage in the adipose tissue
- glycogen is storedin theliver andmusclenot adipose tissue
A)Convertglucoseintoglycogen for storagein themuscle and
liver
A)Convert glucose into ketone bodies as a reserve energy
resource
Sodestruction ofinsulin producingcells->less insulinavailable
toconvertglucoseintoglycogen ->moreglucose remains in the
blood A 7-year-old girl is brought to the GP by her mother because of
a 2-week history of increasing thirst and frequent urination.
Her mother reports that she has also been more tired than
usual and has lost weight despite having a good appetite. On
examination, the child appears pale and tired, and her weight
is below the 25th percentile for her age. There is no fever,
rash, or abdominal tenderness
What clues from the question point towards T1DM as the main
differential?Features
1. Polydipsia - excessive drinking in an attempt to dilute the high blood sugar
levels
1. Polyuria - high levels ofglucose spilling into urine draws wateralongwith it
(due to osmotic diuresis)
1. enteringthe cells forrespiration so insteadthe body breaks down fat andom
muscle forenergy
1. Fatigue - due to the inabilityro use glucose effectively
1. Recent onsetInvestigations
Which 2 investigations would confirma diagnosis of type 1
diabetes
A)Low c-peptide levels
A)Anti-glutamic decarboxylase antibodies
A)Fasting glucose over 7mmol/L
A)Fasting glucose >= 7mmol/L
A) random glucose >= 11.1 Which investigations would confirm a
diagnosis of type 1 diabetes?
A) Low c-peptidelevels - this +autoantibodies is the
investigation of choice if there is doubt between T1or T2
but it does not confirm the diagnosis
A) Anti-glutamic decarboxylase antibodies - again, does not
cell autoantibodies are othercommon onesdies andislet
A) Fasting glucoseover 6 mmol/L
A) Fastingglucose>=7 mmol/L
A) Randomglucose >= 11.1

(c-peptidelevel+ insulinautoantibodies) AKA which ones
are inducible between T1 and T2?
1. A 14 yearold presents with weightloss, lethargy. Ketones and
glucose found in the urine
1. a 32 -year-oldobese man presents with polyuria. A random glucose
is 12.5mmol/L
1. polyuria and polydipsia.Ketones are present in the urine.
1. a 58-year-oldobese man presents with polyuria. A random serum
glucose is 12.0 mmol/L1. A 14 yearold presents with weightloss, lethargy. Ketones and
glucose found in the urine - T1DM, no furtherinvestigation needed
1. A32 -year-old obesemanpresentswithpolyuria. A random

1. A61-year-old woman (bodymassindex23 kg/m²) presentswith
polyuriaand polydipsia. Ketonesarepresent inthe urine - atypical

A. Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic State (HHS)
B. Acute Pancreatitis
C. Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA)
D. Lactic Acidosis
E. GastroenteritisA. Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic State (HHS) - typically more
common in T2DM and unlikely due to the presence of acidosis
and ketosis
B. Acute Pancreatitis- Abdominal pain is common, but there is
no lipase/amylase data or history suggesting pancreatitis.
C. Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA)
D. Lactic Acidosis - ketones would not be present
E. Gastroenteritis - Symptoms like nausea and vomiting could
mimic DKA but would not explain hyperglycemia, metabolic
