Study Notes
Type 1 Diabetes
- Affects 5-10% of diabetics
- Usually diagnosed before age 18
- Immune system attacks and destroys pancreatic beta cells
- Body cannot produce insulin
- Symptoms include: polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia, and ketoacidosis
Ketoacidosis
- Accumulation of ketone bodies
- Leads to acidosis
- Related to incomplete breakdown of fatty acids due to carbohydrate deficiency or insufficient carbohydrate intake
Type 2 Diabetes
- Accounts for 90-95% of diagnosed cases
- Body cells do not respond to insulin properly or effectively
- Pancreas overcompensates by producing more insulin, but not enough to lower blood sugar
- Insulin receptors decrease and tissue becomes less sensitive over time
- Insulin eventually becomes insufficient, leading to type 2 diabetes
- Risk factors include metabolic syndrome (central obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, hypertension)
Metabolic Syndrome
- Cluster of risk factors for CVD
- Includes: central obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, hypertension
Prediabetes
- Blood glucose levels are higher than normal, but not high enough for a type 2 diabetes diagnosis
- Strong link between excess weight and insulin resistance
- Complications include retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy, impaired wound healing, and periodontal disease
- Weight loss is often a primary focus
Diabetes Self-Management
- Education and support programs teach skills in managing diabetes
- Include healthy eating, exercise, blood glucose monitoring, medication management, and coping mechanisms
Cardiovascular Disease (CVD)
- Leading cause of death in people with diabetes.
- Also known as ASCVD
Weight Management
- Prediabetes: 5-7% weight loss goal
- Type 1: Improvements in A1c (glycated hemoglobin)
Dietary Management for Diabetes (Type 2)
- 5% weight loss is a goal
- Deficit of 500-700 calories daily, or a low-calorie total intake (e.g., 1200-1500 calories daily depending on gender)
- Nutrient-dense foods are encouraged
- Diet patterns (low-carb, vegetarian, vegan, DASH) can assist in blood glucose control
- Meal planning using carb counting or plate method helps to manage carbohydrate intake
- Foods containing carbohydrates are counted in carb choices (1 carb choice = 15g carbohydrates)
