    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.
