Repeated FBS > 125 mg/dl ( 6.9 mmol/l )
at least 8 hours
Any postprandial Bs > 200 mg/dl (>11.1 mmol)
Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT=75 gr ) //
Type I = early onset + dependency on Insulin
Type II = much more common in the Elderly
Glycosylated hemoglobin ( HB A1c ) :
is not specific for diagnosis
indicates existing diabetes
estimate blood glucose control
determined every 1-3 months
goal : level < 8%
Prevalence DM type II increases with age
3-5%
40 - 50 yrs.
10-20%
70 – 80 yrs.
Impaired insulin secretory
response to glucose
Decreased
Insulin resistance :
( increasing insulin secretion)
insulin effectiveness in glucose uptake by skeletal muscle decreased
Heterogeneous group with hyperglycemia ( type III )
Genetic factors / chronic pancreatitis / other endocrine diseases
( Cushing, acromegaly, pheochromocytoma, glucagonoma,
somatostatinom, hyperaldosteronism, )
Is not genetic alteration in the insulin receptor
or glucose transporter
Is genetically postreceptor intracellular defects
The resulting :
Hyperinsulinemia / hyperlipidemia /
hypertension / visceral & abdominal obesity /
waist to hip ratio> 1 / coronary artery disease
Asymptomatic hyperglycemia BS < 200
Symptomatic BS > 200
polyuria,
(in elderly because the kidneys` ability to reabsorbed
filtrated glucose increases, polyuria is less common )
polydipsia, weight loss,
dehydration, blurred vision,
fatigue, nausea, infections,
perineal itching due to Candidiasis
Nonketotic hyperglycemic hyperosmolar coma ( NKHHC )
Clinical manifestation of late complication of diabetes
Macrovascular complications :
stroke, CAD, claudication,
skin breakdown, infection,
amputation of a lower limb
The risk :
hyperglycemia ↑ 5 fold
hypertension ↑ 10 – 20 fold
smoking
↑ 10 – 20 fold
dyslipidemia ( TG ↑ & HDL ↓ )
Prevention :
treatment of concomitant risk factors
ASA (higher doses than those non diabetics )
ACE inhibitor , Statins
Microvascular complications :
retinopathy :
macular edema, prolifferative retinopathy
retinal detachment, hemorrhage,
blindness
85% all DM have some degree of retinopathy
7 yrs. Before DM diag.
oral pentoxifyline ( some data support )
Microvascular complications :
nephropathy :
usually asymptomatic until ESRD
1/3 in type I DM
smaller in type II DM
albuminuria> 300 mg/L after 5 yrs.
DM & diastolic BP> 90 2.5 fold
DM & diastolic BP< 70 albuminuria
ACEI ( captopril ) recommended
Microvascular complications :
neuropathy :
polyneuropathy:
predominantly sensory
distal, symmetric, (stocking-glove)
numbness, tingling, paresthesia,
less often: sever deep seated pain &
hyperesthesia, Ankle jerks ↓
mononeuropathy :
acute, painful,
affecting 3th , 4th, 6th , 7th cranial nerve
other nerves such as femoral
spontaneously improve over weeks to months
neuropathy :
Autonomic neuropathy :
postural hypotension
sweating
impotence
retrograde ejaculation
impaired bladder function
delayed gastric emptying
esophageal dysfunction
constipation / diarrhea / nocturnal diarrhea
blunted decreased in HR in response to
Valsalva maneuver & standing & deep breathing
Foot ulcers & joint problems
important causes of morbidity
predisposing cause is polyneuropathy
sensory denervation ( trauma )
proprioception alteration(weight bearing)
Charcot`s joints
Infection :
cellular immunity decreased by :
acute hyperglycemia
circulatory deficits by :
chronic hyperglycemia
Fungi, bacteria,
foot ulcers often feel no pain (neuropathy)
Diabetic patient should be assessed :
on each visit :
check of the feet
pulses
sensation
urine test for albumin
every year :
lipid profile
BUN
creatinine
ECG
ophthalmologic examination
Linear relationship between complications & HB A1c
HB A1c < 8 is threshold for prevention of complication
Weight management is important
insulin sensitivity increased with weight-loss
Diet management is also important
total daily caloric / proportions of carbohydrate,
fat , protein /distributing calories among meals
Regular exercise , especially in obese
mod-sever exercise can lead to hypoglycemia
Oral antidiabetic drugs :
Antihyperglycemic :
biguanides ( metformin -10h )
ᾳ- glucosidase inhibitors (acarbose -6h )
thiazolidinedions ( pioglitazone -24h )
hypoglycemic drugs :
sulfonylureas :
( first generation ) : don’t use in elderly
tolbutamide (12h) / chlorpropamide (60h)
(second generation ): 100 times more potency than 1th
glibenclamide/ glyburide/ glipizide/ ( 24h )
meglitinide analog :
repaglinide ( 3h ) ( novonorme )
Insulin therapy
Drug of choice in : newly , obese , type II DM
Decreases hepatic glucose production
Decreases lipid levels
Improve insulin sensitivity
Promotes weight loss
Decreases MI, & diabetes related deaths ( 30-40 % )
Contraindication :
kidney disease crea.> 1.4
liver disease/ alcoholism
lactic acidosis
elderly > 80 yrs. ( renal func.)
acute hospitalization
Adverse effect :
gastrointestinal
Inhibits hydrolysis of oligo & monosacharides
Delay carbohydrate digestion & absorption
Less PP hyperglycemia
Ideal for elderly , & mild hypoglycemia
FBS < 150 mg/dl or Postprandial hyperglycemia
Drug with each main meal ( 25-100 mg/TDS )
Adverse effect : GI ( often transient )
Improve insulin sensitivity in skeletal muscle
Suppress hepatic glucose output
Useful in elderly with renal function failure
No longer marketed in the USA because :
idiosyncratic liver disease & hepatic failure
which led to liver transplantation or death
Differ in potency & duration
Stimulating insulin secretion
Improve peripheral & hepatic insulin
sensitivity
Adverse effects : allergic reactions
cholestatic jaundice
hypoglycemia
( 3 days monitored in the hospital )
Most type II DM don’t need insulin
Insulin antibody develop however in
human insulin preparations
Nearly all of type II DM have significant
insulin resistance
( require more insulin than type I DM )
started with bedtime NPH insulin
Later divided ( ½ breakfast , ¼ dinner , ¼ bedtime)
Increments in insulin 10% at a time over 3 days
Goal : pre-prandial BS 80-150 & stabilize the fluctuations

Dawn phenomenon ( Somogyi phenomenon)
Local fat atrophy or hypertrophy (no treat.)
Local allergic reactions (antihistamines )
Generalized insulin allergy (after restarted)
( Skin testing , desensitization )
Insulin resistance : > 200 U/day
( insulin antibody )
prednisolone 30 mg bid 2 weeks & tapered
BS>500 mg/dl & dehydration & ↓consciousness / seizures
More common in the elderly
High mortality rate
Inadequate fluid intake & dehydration
Precipitated by : acute infection /
glucocorticoids / diuretics
dementia (insensitive to thirst )
