Study Notes
Diabetes Lecture: Week 12
-
Typical presentation of diabetes:
- Jim, a 54-year-old patient, presented for routine care.
- He had not had a physical in several years.
- His spouse encouraged him to be seen.
- He felt generally healthy but had gained some weight and experienced fatigue.
- He was not taking any medications and had no significant past medical history.
- Vital Signs: BP 158/90, HR 78, BMI 38.
-
Complications:
- Leading cause of blindness, kidney failure, and non-traumatic amputations.
- ~12% with some degree of visual problems.
- ~39% with some degree of nephropathy.
- Vascular disease accounts for 54% of nontraumatic amputations.
- 50% of people with diabetes have neuropathy at some point.
- Cardiovascular disease causes 2/3 of deaths in people with diabetes.
- People with diabetes are twice as likely as non-diabetic patients to have cardiovascular disease (CVD).
-
Common comorbidities:
- Hypertension
- Dyslipidemia
- Cardiovascular disease
- Kidney disease
- Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
- Osteoarthritis
- Obesity
- Sleep apnea
- Depression
3 Ps of Diabetes
- Polyuria, polyphagia, polydipsia
Type 1 Diabetes
- Rapid Onset
- Destruction of beta cells in the pancreas leading to absolute insulin deficiency.
- Genetic predisposition, with specific HLA alleles found in 90% of patients.
- Some shared genetic predisposition to celiac disease.
- Increased risk in close relatives (50% in identical twins).
- Triggers: perinatal factors, viruses, diet.
- Large geographic variation (e.g., Scandinavia).
Type 2 Diabetes
- Insidious Onset
- Decreased insulin secretion.
- Decreased incretin effect.
- Increased lipolysis.
- Increased glucagon secretion.
- Increased hepatic glucose production (HGP).
- Increased glucose reabsorption.
- Decreased glucose uptake.
- Neurotransmitter dysfunction.
- Ominous Octet (a summary of the factors involved in the development of type 2 diabetes).
Other Forms of Diabetes
- Gestational Diabetes:
- High risk for fetal macrosomia.
- Mom and baby at risk for development of type 2 diabetes later in life.
- Pancreatogenic (Type 3c).
- Cystic fibrosis.
- Pancreatitis.
- Drug or chemical induced (e.g., corticosteroids, thiazide-type diuretics, atypical antipsychotics).
- Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY).
- Autosomal dominant mutation to beta cell receptors.
Appropriate Diagnostic Tests
- Screening:
- Fasting plasma glucose.
- 2-hour post-oral glucose tolerance test.
- Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c).
- Diagnostic:
- Casual glucose.
- Fasting glucose.
- HbA1c.
Supportive Lab Tests
- Insulin Levels:
- Elevated in type 2 diabetes.
- Absent or very diminished in type 1 diabetes.
- C-peptide: Measures endogenous insulin secretion.
- Normal to elevated: in type 2 diabetes.
- Absent to very low: in type 1 diabetes.
- Blood glucose must be high for c-peptide testing.
- Antibodies: Assess for autoimmune form of diabetes (i.e., Islet cell antibody, anti-GAD antibody, insulin antibody).
Differentiating the Types of DM
- A table comparing the features of Type 1 Diabetes, Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA), and Type 2 Diabetes.
History
- Symptoms of hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia
- Onset of symptoms
- Previous treatment for diabetes
- Duration of diabetes
- Recent lab results and trends.
- Known complications
- Impact on ADLs
Questions for Follow-up Visits
- Any new concerns?
- Make changes recommended?
- Any adverse reactions?
- Review blood sugar log.
- Revisit lifestyle modifications.
- Adherence.
- Symptoms associated with complications.

- Eyes (visual acuity, fundoscopic examination)
- Heart (arrhythmias, LVH, signs of heart failure)
- Lungs (signs of heart failure)
- GI (hepatomegaly)
- Peripheral vascular (pulses, skin)

Laboratory Assessment
- Glucose control (A1c, meter interpretation)
- Chemistry (assessing for complications, medication safety, e.g. electrolytes, creatinine)
- Lipid profile (assessing risk for CVD)
- Urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR) for complications assessment.
Ongoing Monitoring of Diabetes
- Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c).
- Elevated Alc best indicator of development of complications.
- 1% reduction in A1c about 30% reduction in complications.
Self-Monitoring Blood Glucose
- Scheduling depends on treatment and patient.
- HbA1c insufficient for trend identification and treatment adjustment.
- Glycemic Assessment.
- Twice a year in patients meeting targets, four times a year in patients not meeting targets or with treatment changes.
Other Forms for Diabetes
- Diabetes Care: updates guidelines annually.
- American Association of Clinical Endocrinologist.
- Comprehensive Medical Evaluation and Assessment of Comorbidities: Standards of Care in Diabetes—2024. (Decision Cycle for Person-Centered Glycemic Management in Type 2 Diabetes; Components of comprehensive diabetes medical evaluation at initial, follow-up and annual visits; Assessment and Treatment Plan)
- Screening for Type 2 Diabetes/Prediabetes: Recommendations concerning risk groups ( BMI, family history, race, ethnicity).
Complications of Diabetes
- Acute: Hypoglycemia, Hyperglycemia, Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic Nonketotic Syndrome, Diabetic Ketoacidosis.
- Chronic: Macrovascular (Cardiovascular disease, Peripheral arterial disease, Stroke), Microvascular (Diabetic Nephropathy, Diabetic Retinopathy) Disease, Neuropathy.
- Hypoglycemia: relates to treatment rather than diabetes itself.
Other forms of diabetes
- Gestational Diabetes:
- Other forms:
- Pancreatogenic (Type 3c)
- Cystic fibrosis
- Pancreatitis
- Drug or chemical induced(e.g., corticosteroids, thiazide-type diuretics, atypical antipsychotics)
