Study Notes
Diabetes Definition
- A group of metabolic diseases characterized by the inability to produce sufficient amounts of insulin or the inability to respond to insulin properly.
Alpha vs Beta Cell Function
- Alpha Cells: When blood sugar is low, alpha cells release glucagon, signaling the liver to release stored glucose, raising blood sugar.
- Beta Cells: When blood sugar is high, beta cells release insulin, helping body cells absorb glucose, lowering blood sugar. Beta cells are often found in clusters called islets of Langerhans.
Type 1 vs Type 2 vs Gestational Diabetes
Type 1
- Pathophysiology: Immune attack on beta cells, preventing insulin production.
- Prevalence: "Juvenile onset"
- Characteristics: Insulin-dependent, beta cell destruction, autoimmune disease (or idiopathic).
Type 2
- Pathophysiology: Increased blood glucose and insulin, eventually leading to insulin resistance.
- Prevalence: 90-95 percent of diabetics, adult onset.
- Characteristics: Insulin resistance, insulin secretion defect, strong genetic influence.
Gestational Diabetes
- Pathophysiology: Glucose intolerance during pregnancy.
- Characteristics: Occurs in 2-10% of pregnancies, increases future risk of type 2 diabetes for the mother, and possibly the child.
Criteria for Testing Diabetes
- Fasting Plasma Glucose: ADA/CDC: 5.6-6.9 mmol/L (100-125 mg/dL); WHO: 6.1-6.9 mmol/L (110-125 mg/dL); Diabetes: 7.0 mmol/L (≥126 mg/dL)
- 2-Hour Plasma Glucose: 2.2-11.1 mmol/L (140-200 mg/dL); ≥ 11.1 mmol/L (≥200 mg/dL)
- HbA1c: 5.7-6.4% (39-47 mmol/mol); ≥6.5% (≥48 mmol/mol)
Hyperglycemia vs Hypoglycemia
- Hyperglycemia: Fasting blood glucose >130 mg/dL. Kidneys excrete glucose and water. Can lead to Diabetic Ketoacidosis (body metabolizes fat, producing ketones). Leads to organ damage.
- Hypoglycemia: Fasting blood glucose <70 mg/dL. Too much insulin or too little carbohydrates. Can lead to coma and death.
Macrovascular vs Microvascular vs Neuropathy (Diabetes)
- Macrovascular: large vessel disease (coronary arteries, cerebrum, and periphery)
- Microvascular: small vessel disease (retinopathy, nephropathy)
- Neuropathy: effects peripheral and autonomic nervous systems. Includes peripheral nerve damage in lower extremities (loss of sensation, reflexes, and increased risk of infections) and autonomic neuropathy.
Diabetes- Medical History and Physical Exam
- Medical History: Focus on acute and chronic complications, laboratory values (HbA1c, plasma glucose), lipids, proteinuria, blood pressure, body weight, and body mass index.
- Physical Exam: Elevated resting heart rate; loss of sensation (especially lower extremities); loss of reflexes (especially lower extremities); foot sores/ulcers; excessive bruising; retinal vascular abnormalities
Diabetes Exercise Testing
- Special Considerations: Exercise testing needs to consider cardiovascular risk, neuropathy, blood glucose control.
- ECG Stress Testing: May be indicated in those with additional risk factors.
- Types of Exercise: Cardio-respiratory, Resistance, Range of Motion.
Obesity (Chapter 8)
- Definition: Abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that risks health.
- Calculation: BMI= weight (kg)/ height^2 (m^2) or weight (lb) x 703 / height^2 (in^2).
- Classification: Body weight-related categories (underweight, normal, overweight, and various obesity classes). Table 8.1 (in the text) provides specific criteria.
- Adipocytes: Primary cell type in adipose tissue, stores triglycerides.
- Adipokines: Adipose-derived hormones.
- Leptin: Hormone suppressing appetite, affecting metabolism.
- Adiponectin: Increases metabolism and energy expenditure.
- Ghrelin: Hormone stimulating hunger, released from gastrointestinal tract.
Obesity- Pathophysiology
- Risks: Diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, breathlessness, sleep apnea, gall bladder disease, heart disease, osteoarthritis, hyperuricemia, complications during pregnancy, and cancer.
- Fat Distribution: Android fat (abdomen, upper body) often more associated with health risks than gynoid fat(hips, thighs, and buttocks).
Obesity - Exercise Testing
- Types of Diets: High-protein, low-carb, hypocaloric, time-restricted feeding.
- Pharmacological: Appetite suppressants, fat absorption reducers.
- Surgical: Significant weight loss, but carries risk of complications, potentially permanent weight gain.
- Exercise is important for maintaining and improving health at any body weight.
Hyperlipidemia and Dyslipidemia
- Lipids: Chylomicron, VLDL, IDL, LDL, HDL (in order of size and density), with different roles in transporting lipids & cholesterol.
- LDL receptor: Pathway that removes cholesterol from bloodstream.
- Reverse Cholesterol Pathway: Pathway that transports cholesterol back to the liver.
Metabolic Syndrome
- Definition: Collection of interrelated cardiometabolic risk factors (more common when in the presence of overweight/obesity).. Leading to greater risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
- Exercise Recommendation: Moderate intensity cardio exercise 150-250 min per week. Resistance exercise can supplement cardio exercise.
Peripheral Artery Disease
- Definition: Blockage of leg arteries leading to decreased blood flow to the muscles.
- Classifications: Fontaine (asymptomatic, mild-severe claudication, rest pain, ulceration, gangrene); Rutherford (based on tissue loss).
- Clinical Considerations: Inclaudication is the most common symptom.
- Exercise Considerations: Exercise testing and special considerations for PAD will need to consider the presence, severity, and stage of claudication.
- Important Considerations Duration, intensity, use of Borg 15 category scale or similar scales.
Asthma
- Pathophysiology: Airway inflammation and airflow limitation.
- Diagnosis: Spirometry measurement such as FEV1/FVC, flow volume loop.
- Special Considerations: Exercise testing needs to use and monitor BP, ECG, arterial oxygen saturation, dyspnea (Borg scale).
- Exercise Prescription: Walking, running, swimming, or other aerobic exercise (at intensity just below the anaerobic threshold). Exercise precautions.
Cancer (Chapter 21)
- Definition: Uncontrolled cell growth.
- Types of cancer: Carcinoma, sarcoma, leukemia, lymphoma.
- Differentiation: Benign (slow-growing, isolated) and malignant (faster-growing, invasive).
- Pathophysiology: Tumor growth, angiogenesis, metastasis.
- Treatment Options: Surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, biotherapy
- Exercise Testing: Special considerations for both cancer types and related conditions.
