Study Notes

Diabetes Mellitus

Type 1 diabetes mellitus is characterized by an absolute insulin deficiency.

Cellular Starvation and Hyperglycemia

Despite hyperglycemia, glucose is not utilized by cells in diabetic animals, leading to cellular starvation.

Ketone Production

Ketone production in diabetic animals serves as an alternative energy source during hypoglycemia.

Insulin Resistance and Ketone Production

The main factor that leads to increased insulin resistance and ketone production in diabetic ketoacidosis is the combination of insulin deficiency and counter-regulatory hormone excess.

Diabetic Ketoacidosis

Diabetic ketoacidosis is considered an emergency because it can lead to severe complications, including dehydration, acidosis, and even death if left untreated.
