Study Notes
Diabetes
- Diabetes is a chronic condition with high blood sugar levels.
- Characterized by the body not producing enough insulin or not using insulin effectively.
- Two main types: Type 1 and Type 2.
Type 1 Diabetes
- Autoimmune condition.
- Body mistakenly attacks insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.
- Usually diagnosed in children and young adults.
- Requires insulin therapy to manage blood sugar.
Type 2 Diabetes
- More common.
- Often associated with lifestyle factors.
- Body becomes resistant to insulin or doesn't produce enough.
- Typically develops in adults but increasingly seen in children.
- Management includes lifestyle changes, medications, and sometimes insulin therapy.
Mechanisms of Diabetes
Type 1 Diabetes
- Autoimmune Reaction: Immune system attacks and destroys insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas.
- Insulin Deficiency: Insulin production decreases dramatically due to beta cell destruction. High blood sugar levels result.
Type 2 Diabetes
- Insulin Resistance: Body cells become less responsive to insulin, hindering glucose uptake.
- Impaired Insulin Secretion: Over time, the pancreas may not produce enough insulin to overcome the resistance.
- Increased Gluconeogenesis: Liver produces excess glucose, further contributing to high blood sugar.
Treatment for Diabetes
Type 1 Diabetes
- Insulin Therapy (injections or pump)
- Monitoring Blood Sugar
- Dietary Management (focus on carbohydrate counting)
- Physical Activity (improves insulin sensitivity and overall health)
Type 2 Diabetes
- Lifestyle Changes (diet and exercise)
- Oral Medications
