Diabetes MellitusWhat's new and what hasn't changed Martin C. Young MD Pediatric Endocrinologist Pediatric Specialized Care Rapides Medical Center, Alexandria LA
Defining Diabetes Mellitus (DM) • Chronic hyperglycemia • Acute complications • Chronic complications • macrovascular • microvascular • other
Types of DM • Type 1 • Type 2 • Other
Type 1 & Type 2 DM • Type 1 (IDDM) • childhood infection of pancreas resulting in autoimmune destruction and loss of insulin • insulin dependent • Type 2 (NIDDM) • insulin resistance leading to pancreatic exhaustion • insulin requiring (often)
DM is Common 1 • Prevalence • world: 150 million • USA: 20 million (6% population) • 1/3 all cases undiagnosed • High risk groups • AfroAmerican x2 • Hispanic x2 • American Native x5
DM is Common 2 • 10% of people aged >20 yrs • 20% of people aged >60 yrs • USA 1997-2004 increase across ages 18-80 approx 40%
DM is Expensive • US costs per annum >$ 100 billion
Diagnosing DM • Your patient has DM until otherwise proven!
Prediabetes • Impaired fasting glucose (IFG) • FBG 100-125 mg/dl • Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) • BG 140-199 mg/dl at 2 hours on OGTT IFG & IGT are not benign
Risk for Death by Fasting and 2-hour Blood Glucose Level 2.5 2.0 1.5 1.0 0.5 0.0 Hazard ratio ³11.1 7.8–11.0 2-hour plasma glucose(mmol/l) <7.8 <6.1 6.1–6.9 ³7.0 Fasting plasma glucose (mmol/l) Adjusted for age, center, sex DECODE Study Group. Lancet 1999;354:617–621
Values to Remember • Fasting blood glucose >100 mg/dl • think "pre-diabetes" (IFG) • Random blood glucose > 140 mg/dl • think "prediabetes" (IGT) • Blood glucose > 200 mg/dl at any time • think "diabetes"
How DM Presents 1 • Classic symptoms • polydipsia & polyuria • weight loss • Accidentally • urinalysis • random blood glucose • Suspiciously • recurrent candidiasis
How DM Presents 2 • Screening • asymptomatic • high risk groups
Screening for DM 1 • Aged >45 yrs • Aged <45 yrs, fat plus other risk factor • 1st degree relative with diabetes • physically inactive • high risk ethnic group • hypertension • dyslipidemia
Screening for DM 2 • PCOS • IFG or IGT on OGTT previously • Acanthosis nigricans • Vascular disease
Screening for DM 3 • Fasting blood glucose • OGTT (2 hr)
Suspicious of DM? • Random blood glucose • Fasting blood glucose • OGTT • HbA1c (glycated hemoglobin) • Fructosamine (glycated albumin) • GlycoMark (1,5-Anhydroglucitol)

Associated syndromes Comorbidities "You're never alone with diabetes" Diabetes & Friends
Syndromes Associated with Type 2 DM • Metabolic syndrome (MS) • Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) • Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS)
Metabolic Syndrome (MS) • Obesity • Hypertension • Dyslipidemia • Acanthosis nigricans • Abnormal glucose homeostasis A prothrombotic, proinflammatory, atherogenic, endothelial dysfunctional condition.
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome • (Polycystic ovaries) • Hyperandrogenemia or hirsuitism • Menstrual disturbance
MS, DM, PCOS Overlap The "fullcatastrophe"
OSAS • Obstructive apnea during sleep due to airway occlusion from obesity • Recurrent hypoxemia • pulmonary hypertension • RV strain failure • Recurrent arousal from sleep • daytime fatigue, etc • Hypertension • Atrial fibrillation
Why PCOS, MS & OSAS are Related to Type 2 DM • Insulin resistance • causes PCOS and Type 2 DM • can result from OSAS • Hyperinsulinism • hypertension • dyslipidemia • acanthosis nigricans • ovarian production of androgens
Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease 1 • NAFLD (non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, NASH) • Fatty infiltration of liver assocaited with obesity, MS and Type 2 DM • May progress to cirrhosis
Type 2 DM • 90 % of all diabetes mellitus • 99% all adult diabetes • Approaching 30-50% of all childhood diabetes • Formally very rare in children • Profoundly underdiagnosed – "silent" • A disease of genes interacting with the "Western Way" of overeating and underexercising
Type 2 DM Pathophysiology • Key concept I: insulin resistance • genetic • obesity • inactivity • OSAS • Key concept II: glycemic load • high glycemic index (GI) foods
Pancreatic Failure • Insufficient insulin to prevent chronic hyperglycemia • Usually sufficient insulin to prevent ketoacidosis
Look for Comorbidities! • Complications of DM • eye disease • vascular disease • neuropathy • nephropathy • dermatopathy • Associated syndromes • MS • PCOS • OSAS • NAFLD/NASH
Eye Disease • Retinopathy • Cataracts
Vascular Disease • Peripheral arterial disease • Ischemic heart disease • Cerebral vascular disease
