TYPE 1 DIABETES 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 NOTE:IN ANASYMPTOMATIC PATIENT THISNEEDSDOBE DEMONSTRATEDTWICE Fasting Glucose Oral Glucose Tolerance Test Random Glucose (OGTT - alternative to fasting glucose) Preparation Overnight fast Overnight fast + glucose No preparation needed challenge Procedure Quick (single blood Longer (2+ hours, multiple Quick (single blood sample) Duration sample) samples) Information Baseline glucose level Response to glucose load over Glucose level at any time Provided time Use Cases Screening for diabetes Confirmatory or gestational Diagnosis in symptomatic diabetes patients Interpretation Normal: < 5.6 mmol/L (< Normal: < 7.8 mmol/L (< 140 Normal: < 7.8 mmol/L (< 100 mg/dL) mg/dL, 2-hour) 140 mg/dL) Diabetes: ≥ 7.0 mmol/L (≥ Diabetes: ≥ 11.1 mmol/L (≥ 200 Diabetes: ≥ 11.1 mmol/L (≥ 126 mg/dL) mg/dL, 2-hour) 200 mg/dL)Whichof these scenarioswould need to be tested further (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 glucose is12.5mmol/L- intermediate age for T1or T2. Not clear cut sodo C-peptide + autoantibodies 1. A61-year-old woman (bodymassindex23 kg/m²) presentswith polyuriaand polydipsia. Ketonesarepresent inthe urine - atypical agefor T1DM but otherfeaturesconsistent, so doC-peptide + autoantibodies 1. A 58-year-oldobese man presents with polyuria. A random serum glucose is 12.0 mmol/L - T2DM, no need for further investigationManagement ofT1DM - monitoring 1.HbA1c measured every 3-6 months, aiming for a targetof 48 mmol or lower 1.Self monitoring of blood glucose everyrecommendedat least 4x a day Targets: - 5-7 mmol/L on waking - 4-7 mmol/L before mealsManagement ofT1DM - Insulin Basal bolus regime - what does this mean?

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.
