A LATERAL VIEW OF DIABETES FROM THE CARIBBEAN

Delve into the fascinating world of atypical diabetes presentations in the Caribbean region, examining hypotheses related to food toxins, undernutrition, and viral infections in an insightful perspective by Prof. Errol Y. St. A. Morrison. This comprehensive study breaks down potential causes and implications for various diabetes types.

  1. A LATERAL VIEW OF DIABETES FROM THE CARIBBEAN The Hon. Errol Y. St. A. Morrison, OJ MD, PhD, FRCP (Glasg), FACP, FRSM (UK) Professor of Biochemistry and Endocrinology Pro Vice Chancellor and Dean School for Graduate Studies and Research UNIVERSITY OF THE WEST INDIES Mona Campus, Jamaica W.I.

  2. THE WORLD

  3. THE CARIBBEAN AND CENTRAL AMERICA

  4. Hugh Jones 1955 Zuidema 1956 Morrison 1981 Atypical Diabetes; Undernutrition; Bush teas (CAM) & Staple root crops

  5. Atypical Diabetes • - hyperglycaemic & aglycosuric • asymptomatic hyperglycaemia • intermittent insulin requirement • aketonuric • 13% of Diabetes Outpatient Clinic at UHWI, Mona, Jamaica

  6. Francis Bacon If a man will begin with certainties, He shall end in doubts; But if he will be content to begin with doubts, He shall end in certainties!

  7. AN HYPOTHESIS FOR THE AETIOLOGY OF DIABETES MELLITUS FOOD “TOXINS”, UNDERNUTRITION FREE RADICALS

  8. AN HYPOTHESIS FOR THE AETIOLOGY OF DIABETES MELLITUS (contd.) FR DAMAGE TO CELL MEMBRANE Level 1

  9. AN HYPOTHESIS FOR THE AETIOLOGY OF DIABETES MELLITUS (contd.) DAMAGE TO CELL MEMBRANE VIRAL INFECTIONS INDUCED ANTIGENS EXPOSED ANTIGENS

  10. AN HYPOTHESIS FOR THE AETIOLOGY OF DIABETES MELLITUS (contd.) EA IA Level 2 ANTIBODIES DIRECT TOXICITY INSULIN RECEPTORS GLUCOSE TRANSPORTERS ISLET CELLS

  11. AN HYPOTHESIS FOR THE AETIOLOGY OF DIABETES MELLITUS (contd.) IC IR OBESITY GT INSULIN INSUFFICIENCY Level 3 INSULIN RESISTANCE

  12. AN HYPOTHESIS FOR THE AETIOLOGY OF DIABETES MELLITUS (contd.) INSULIN RESISTANCE INSULIN INSUFFICIENCY TYPE 1 INSULIN DEPENDENT DIABETES MELLITUS PIDDM PHASIC INSULIN DEPENDENT DIABETES MELLITUS TYPE 2 NON-INSULIN DEPENDENT DIABETES MELLITUS

  13. AN HYPOTHESIS FOR THE AETIOLOGY OF DIABETES MELLITUS (contd.) Level 1: Membrane damage Level 2: Antibody production Level 3: Insulin resistance & insufficiency

  14. AN HYPOTHESIS FOR THE AETIOLOGY OF DIABETES MELLITUS (contd.) N.B.: If the processes at levels 1, 2 or 3 remit, then TEMPORARY DIABETES would result!

  15. AN HYPOTHESIS FOR THE AETIOLOGY OF DIABETES MELLITUS (contd.) N.B.: GESTATIONAL DIABETES (GDM) IMPAIRED GLUCOSE TOLERANCE (IGT)……possible manifestations of level 3 activity.

  16. The Unitarian Hypothesis

  17. THE UNITARIAN HYPOTHESIS FOR THE AETIOLOGY OF DIABETES MELLITUS HERESY TODAY? FACT TOMORROW!

  18. CONSENSUS ON THE AETIOLOGY OF TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS SRI LANKA, JULY 2002 OVERNUTRITION  UNDERNUTRITION  Increase in type 2 DM in childhood and adolescence Low birth weight  increase in type 2 DM

  19. CONSENSUS ON THE AETIOLOGY OF TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS (contd.) • There is a strong association between: • Truncal Obesity • Diabetes Mellitus • Impaired Glucose Tolerance • Cardiovascular Disease

  20. Hugh Jones 1955 Zuidema 1956 Morrison 1981 Atypical Diabetes; Undernutrition; Bush teas (CAM) & Staple root crops

  21. ROOT CROPS a case study.

  22. CYANOGLUCOSIDES • E.g. Linamarin, lotaustralin (toxic cyanide radical) • Found in root crops: • Cassava, yucca (Manihot esculenta), • Yams (Dioscorides group)

  23. CASSAVA (manihot esculenta)

  24. YAM (Dioscorides GROUP)

  25. YAM (Dioscorides GROUP)

  26. ENZYMATIC DEGRADATION OF LINAMARIN
