DIABETES MELLITUS

DIABETES MELLITUS
A disorder of glucose homeostasis characterized by the elevation of both basal and postprandial blood glucose concentration.
TYPE I DIABETES
Onset: before 30 yrs, usually 12 yrs
Caused by AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE
(viral inf or environmental factor) which destroys Beta Cells causing Insulin to decrease and results in HYPERGLYCEMIA
-
TYPE II DIABETES
-
Have normal insulin level and does not need exogenous insulin to survive, hence known as
non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM).
Caused by either inadequate Insulin or Insulin Resistance due deficiency of pancreatic β cell’s response to glucose
Can be treated with oral anti-diabetic medications in combination with dietary modifications and exercise.
-
TYPE IV DIABETES
Caused by pancreatitis, pancreatectomy, drug therapy and so on.
TREATMENT
PARENTERAL
INSULIN
Bind to receptors located in adipose tissues, liver and skeletal muscles to regulate and metabolize blood glucose
The nerves, red blood cells, kidney and the lens of the eye DO NOT require insulin for glucose transport.
4 TYPES
Rapid-acting
very fast onset, short duration
Dispensed as clear solutions at neutral pH and contain small amount of zinc to improve stability and shelf life
-
-
Long acting
slow onset of action
Insulin glargine and insulin detemir are
clear, soluble long-acting insulins.

THIAZOLIDINEDIONES
Eg: Rosiglitazone, Pioglitazone
INSULIN SENSITIZER
Enhance peripheral cell response to insulin, allowing glucose to be utilized more efficiently
E.g: Rosiglitazone, Pioglitazone
DIPEPTIDYL PEPTIDASE-4 (DDP4) INHIBITORS
E.g: Sitagliptin, Saxagliptin.
