    Study Notes

    Respiratory Infections and Diabetes

    • Necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum is a severe necrobiosis that occurs mostly in women, leading to ulceration and chronic complications.
    • Diabetic microvascular disease can lead to diabetic neuropathy, nephropathy, cardiomyopathy, and retinopathy.
    • Atherosclerotic lesions can cause blood vessel occlusion, leading to cardiovascular disease, coronary artery disease, and peripheral vascular disease.
    • Diabetic foot complications can include ulcers, gangrene, and ischaemia.

    Diabetic Microvascular Disease

    • Increased thickness of capillary basement membrane and arteriolosclerosis can lead to vascular occlusion and compromised blood flow.
    • Defective healing in chronic ulcers can occur due to diabetic microvascular disease.
    • Major complications can occur in the kidney and retina, including nerve damage and collagen, smooth muscle cell, and fibroblast dysfunction.

    Diabetic Nephropathy

    • Renal failure occurs in 30-40% of IDDM patients and a few NIDDM patients, increasing with severity and duration.
    • Necrotising papillitis and diabetic glomerulosclerosis can lead to papillary necrosis and end-stage renal disease.
    • Kimmelstiel-Wilson disease is a type of diabetic glomerulosclerosis that can lead to end-stage renal disease and chronic renal failure.

    Diabetic Neuropathy

    • Disease duration is a major factor in diabetic neuropathy, with 40% of patients developing neuropathy after 20 years.
    • Pathology includes thickened capillaries, ischaemia, glycosylated nerve proteins, axonal degeneration, and loss of myelination.
    • Symptoms include decreased sensation, muscle weakness, atrophy, and wastage.

    Diabetic Retinopathy

    • Microaneurysms, haemorrhage, and exudates can occur in diabetic retinopathy, leading to sight-threatening complications.
    • Proliferative diabetic retinopathy is a severe form of diabetic retinopathy that can lead to visual loss.
    • Background diabetic retinopathy can include scattered microaneurysms, ischaemic, and dot haemorrhages.

    Diabetes

    • Diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterized by impaired insulin secretion and reduced tissue sensitivity to insulin.
    • Environmental factors, such as obesity and hypertension, can contribute to the development of diabetes.
    • Insulin resistance and hyperglycemia can lead to protein glycosylation and vascular basement membrane thickening.

    Acute Complications

    • Hypoglycemia can occur in 30% of IDDM patients, leading to unconsciousness and other symptoms.
    • Ketoacidosis is a severe complication of diabetes that can lead to death in 2.5% of cases.
    • Hyperosmolar non-ketoacidotic coma is a severe complication of diabetes that can lead to death in 15% of cases.

    Chronic Complications

    • Chronic hyperglycemia can lead to disordered metabolism, major vascular complications, and specific microvascular complications.
    • Diabetic complications can be caused by the severity and duration of hyperglycemia, as well as the level of glycaemic control.

    Pancreas

    • The pancreas produces insulin and glucagon, which regulate blood glucose levels.
    • The Islet of Langerhans produces insulin, glucagon, and other hormones that regulate blood glucose levels.

    Insulin

    • Insulin is produced by the pancreas and regulates blood glucose levels by facilitating glucose entry into cells.
    • Insulin binding to receptors leads to the release of second messengers, which facilitate glucose entry into cells.

    Classification of Diabetes

    • Diabetes can be classified into insulin-dependent (type I) and non-insulin-dependent (type II) diabetes.
    • Gestational diabetes, malnutrition-related diabetes, MODY, and secondary diabetes are other types of diabetes.

    Pathogenesis and Treatment

    • IDDM is caused by genetic predisposition, autoimmune destruction of beta cells, and environmental factors.
    • NIDDM is caused by multifactorial inheritance, downregulation of insulin receptors, and reduced response to insulin.
    • Treatment of diabetes includes insulin injections, dietary management, and oral hypoglycaemic agents.

    Insulin-Dependent Diabetes (Type I)

    • Juvenile onset, sudden, and severe onset of diabetes
    • Normal body weight and energy
    • Hyperglycemia, glycosuria, and fluid and electrolyte imbalances

    Non-Insulin-Dependent Diabetes (Type II)

    • Maturity onset, gradual, and subtle onset of diabetes
    • Overweight, familial, and normal/slightly reduced beta cells
    • Normal blood insulin levels
