Study Notes
Diabetes Characteristics
- Prediabetes is characterized by impaired glucose tolerance or impaired fasting glucose.
Type 1 vs Type 2 Diabetes
- A key difference between type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the presence of insulin resistance in T2DM, whereas T1DM is characterized by insulin deficiency.
Gestational Diabetes
- Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is distinguished by its development during pregnancy, usually in the second or third trimester.
Complications of Diabetes
- A potential chronic complication associated with diabetes mellitus (DM) is microvascular disease, such as retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy.
- A potential acute complication associated with diabetes mellitus (DM) is hypoglycemia.
Insulin Regimens
- When selecting insulin regimens for patients with DM, an important consideration is the individual's lifestyle, including meal times, physical activity, and sleep patterns.
