Study Notes
Diabetes and Cystic Fibrosis: Key Facts
- Cystic fibrosis treatment includes drug combinations for airway clearance therapy and prophylactic antibiotics to prevent lung infections
- Severe lung damage may necessitate a lung transplant
- Insulin promotes glucose entry into cells, utilization as energy, and storage as glycogen
- Type 2 diabetes involves inadequate response to insulin and is increasingly common in children
- Pancreatogenic diabetes may result from pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer, autoimmunity, trauma, or resection
- Type 1 diabetes is characterized by insulin deficiency and primarily affects children and young adults
- Prediabetes indicates mild hyperglycemia and the need for lifestyle changes or pharmacologic treatment
- Diabetes mellitus affects 9% of the Canadian population and 25% of those over 65, leading to chronic dehydration and electrolyte imbalance
- Hyperglycemia impacts carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism, causing acute and chronic diseases in multiple organ systems
- Type 1 diabetes results from damage to pancreatic islets, possibly due to an abnormal humoral immune response and hereditary predisposition
- Type 2 diabetes is a complex metabolic disease, increasingly prevalent among younger overweight individuals, with both hereditary and environmental factors at play
- Diabetes and metabolic syndrome are linked to obesity, insulin resistance, blood lipid abnormalities, and hypertension
