Types of diabetes
There are two main types of diabetes Type 1
and Type 2 (written as t1DM and t2DM) and
several subtypes
Other types:
LADA (Latent Autoimmune Diabetes of Adulthood)
MODY (Maturity-Onset Diabetes of Youth)
Secondary Diabetes Mellitus
Gestational Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes
Was previously called insulin-dependent diabetes
T1DM - Etiology
Type 1 diabetes develops when the bodys immune
Type 2 Diabetes
T2dm etiology
Risk factors for type 2 diabetes
diabetes are:
age being over the age of 40 (over 25 for South Asian
people)
genetics having a close relative with the condition
(parent, brother or sister)
weight being overweight or obese
ethnicity being of South Asian, Chinese, AfricanCaribbean or black African origin (even if you were born in
the UK)
Type 2 DM Pathophysiology
Insulin resistance
Beta cell dysfunction
the year 2025, the number of people affected will reach 333
million 90% of these people will have Type 2 diabetes.
In most Western societies, the overall prevalence has

Management of DM
The major components of the treatment of diabetes are:
Oral hypoglycaemic
therapy
Insulin Therapy
Summary of Recommendations
Lifestyle modification (Grade A)
Pharmacological interventions (Grade B)
Bariatric surgery (Grade C)
Individuals at high risk of diabetes should be identified through the
use of risk assessment tools (Grade C)
Social marketing (Grade C )
The impact of the built environment on physical activity and food
quality and availability (Grade D)
To be optimally cost-effective and cost saving in the long term,
interventions to prevent diabetes should include/focus on lifestyle
modification
Culturally appropriate lifestyle interventions

To Recap
Look out for the signs of acute complications.
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY of complications
Several biochemical pathways have been proposed to link
hyperglycemia and microvascular complications:

formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs),
oxidative stress,
activation of protein kinase C (PKC).
These processes are thought to modulate the disease
