Study Notes
Chronic Complications of Diabetes Mellitus
- Chronic complications include retinopathy (eye damage), neuropathy (nerve damage), and nephropathy (kidney damage).
Types of Diabetes Mellitus
- Diabetes Mellitus type 1 is caused by insufficient insulin secretion from the pancreas.
- Diabetes Mellitus type 2 is commonly known as insulin-dependent diabetes.
- Gestational diabetes occurs during pregnancy and typically resolves postpartum.
Diabetes Ketoacidosis (DKA)
- DKA is characterized by the production of toxic levels of ketoacids resulting from the breakdown of fatty acids.
Morbidity in Diabetes Mellitus
- Major sources of morbidity in diabetes mellitus include complications such as cardiovascular issues and infections.
Type 1a Diabetes Mellitus
- Type 1a Diabetes Mellitus involves the autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing beta cells, associated with antibodies such as GAD65 and islet cell antibodies.
Ketones in Diabetes Ketoacidosis
- The main ketone associated with DKA is beta-hydroxybutyrate.
Insulin Deficiency in Type 1 Diabetes
- Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus is associated with absolute insulin deficiency due to beta-cell destruction.
Subtypes of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
- Main subtypes of Type 1 Diabetes include Type 1a (autoimmune) and Type 1b (idiopathic).
