DIABETES MELLITUS
Eric Mbindo Njunju
Bsc; Msc
 Body unable to control blood glucose levels
adequately
 Symptoms:
 Frequent urination
 Thirst
 Weight loss
 Long term complications:
 Cardiovascular disease (atherosclerosis and
stroke)
 Damage to nerves, kidneys and eyes (blindness)
 Approx. 425 million people worldwide
 Rise in numbers associated with an increase in
obesity
Metabolic diseases:
 Hyperglycemia
 Defects in insulin secretion
 Defects in Insulin action
 Both
Pathogenic processes:
 Auto immune destruction of the 硫- cells of the
pancreas
 Resistance to insulin
 Abnormalities in carbohydrate, fat and protein
metabolism due to deficient action of insulin
on target tissues
 Atherosclerosis?- Hypertension and
abnormalities of lipoprotein metabolism
 Type 1 diabetes (5-10% of diabetics)- Absolute
deficiency of insulin secretion
 Cells of body immune system cause
destruction of insulin secreting 硫-cells in the
pancreas. Antibodies against key pancreatic
proteins involved in insulin storage and
secretion- deficiency in Insulin production
 Usually diagnosed in childhood
 Not associated with weight gain
 Type 2 diabetes
 More common form (90-95% of diabetics)
 Loss of ability to respond to insulin
 Over 30 years of age, overweight, high blood
pressure unhealthy lipid profile
 Hypersecretion of insulin
 May progress towards insulin deficiency
 Overweight a strong risk factor for developing
type 2 diabetes
 Normal glucose levels 3.5 to 5.5 mmol/l
before meals
 Maintained by insulin and glucagon mainly
(adrenaline, cortisol and growth hormone)
Recall the following pathways:
 Gluconeogenesis
 Glycolysis
 Glycogenesis
 Lipogenesis
Figure 1. Insulin signalling in an adipocyte
 Abbreviation: P, phosphorylation on tyrosine.
Long term complications:
 Macrovascular and Microvascular
 Modifications of proteins and lipids. Glycation
products
 Oxidative stress and damage to vascular
endothelium lining blood vessels
Diabetic acidosis
 Alternative energy source
 Triglycerides from adipose tissue broken down to
free fatty acids and taken up by the liver-
converted to acetyl CoA (precursor for ketone
bodies
 Lower blood pH
 (Coma and death if not untreated)
 Fasting state
 Oral glucose load
 HbA1c
 Adequate glycemic control achieved with
weight reduction, exercise, oral glucose
lowering agents
 Metabolic abnormality can progress, regress
or stay the same
Other Specific types of diabetes
 Genetic defects of the 硫-cell
 Associated with monogenic defects in 硫-cell
function- onset of hyperglycemia at an early
age
 Impaired insulin secretion
 Autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance
 Six genetic loci on different chromosomes
identified
 Most common form is associated with
mutations on chromosome 12 in the hepatic
transcription factor
 Mutations in the glucokinase gene on
chromosome 7p
 Glucokinase- glucose sensor for 硫-cell
 Defect in glucokinase gene implies only
increased plasma levels of glucose are
necessary to elicit normal levels of insulin
secretion
 Inability to convert proinsulin to insulin-
autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance
