2. Diabetes Mellitus
• Diabetes is heterogeneous group of diseases
- chronic hyperglycemia
- environmental and genetic action
• Cause- Defective production or action of
insulin- controls glucose, fat and amino acid
metabolism.

WHO
1. Diabetes mellitus
1.1 type 1 or IDDM
1.2 type 2 or NIDDM
1.3 Malnutrition Related Diabetes Mellitus/MRD
1.4 other types ex. Secondary to pancreatic, hormonal,
drug induced, genetic and other abnormalities
2. Impaired Glucose Tolerance/IGT
3. Gestational Diabetes Mellitus/GDM

5. 1.1 Type 1 diabetes/IDDM
• Severe form of the disease
• Individuals less than 30 years of age
• Immune mediated in over 90% of cases
• Idiopathic in less than 10% cases
• The rate of destruction of pancreatic beta cells is
quite variable

6. Type 1 diabetes/IDDM…….
• Ketosis in its untreated state
• Mostly in children, > in 10-14 years, occasionally
occur in adults
• Catabolic disorder in which circulating insulin is
virtually absent, plasma glucagon is elevated and
the pancreatic beta cells fail to respond to all
insulinogenic stimuli
• Exogenous insulin is therefore required to reverse
the catabolic state, prevent ketosis, reduce the
hyperglucagonemia and reduce blood glucose.

HEENA DIXIT/ DIABETES MELLITUS
7. 1.2 Type 2 diabetes/NIDDM
• Type 2 diabetes- more common. It is often
discovered by chance
• Gradual in onset, middle aged and elderly,
frequently mild, slow to ketosis.
• Complicated by the presence of other disease
processes.

8. 3. GDM
• Gestational diabetes is hyperglycemia with
blood glucose values above normal but below
those diagnostic of diabetes, occurring during
pregnancy
• Women and their children with GDM are at an
increased risk of complications during
pregnancy and at delivery

9. 2. IGT
• IGT describes a state intermediate- at risk
group- between diabetes and normality
• It can only be defined by the OGTT.

10. Insulin resistance syndrome/syndrome
X
• In obese patients with type 2 diabetes-
• Hyperglycemia,
• Hyperinsulinemia,
• Dyslipidemia,
• Hypertension,
• Leads to coronary artery disease and stroke,
• May result from a genetic defect producing insulin
resistance.
• Initiate atherosclerosis.
• Latter being exaggerated by obesity.

11. Problem statement world
• Diabetes is an iceberg disease
• More than 80% diabetes deaths occur in low and
middle income countries.
• The global prevalence of diabetes in 2014 was
estimated to be 8.5% in adults aged 18plus years
• CHD and stroke are more common in diabetics than
in the general population.
• The IDDM registry at chennai india reported an
incidence of 10.5 per 100000 children in the age
group of 10-12 years.

12. Problem statement world…..
• Microvascular complications like diabetic renal
disease and diabetic retinopathy and neuropathy
• In fact, diabetes is listed among the 5 most
important determinants of the cardiovascular
disease epidemic in asia
• Lower limb amputation are at least 10 times
more common in diabetic than in non diabetic
individuals

13. Problem Statement India
• The population in india has an increased
susceptibility to diabetes
• This propensity was demonstrated by multiple
surveys of migrant indians residing in fiji,
singapore, south africa, uk and usa
• The rates of diabetes in migrants from the indian
subcontinent have consistently shown to exceed
those of the local population
• National programme for prevention and control
of NCDs are operational in india and it includes
diabetes and diabetes registry.

18. Screening for diabetes
• In the past, the commonest approach to diabetes
screening was a preliminary, semi quantitative test
for glucose in a urine sample, followed by an OGTT
for those found to have glycosuria
• The underlying assumption is that early detection
and effective control of hyperglycemia in
asymptomatic diabetics reduces morbidity.
1. Urine examination
2. Blood sugar testing

25. National Diabetes Control Program
Introduction
• Started on 7th five year plan
• Started in Tamilnadu,
Jammu and Kashmir
• Karnataka
Program could not expand due
to paucity of funds
Objectives
• Primary prevention by IEC
programs and health
education
• Secondary prevention by
early diagnosis and early
treatment to reduce
morbidity and mortality
• Prevention of acute
complications
• Rehabilitation for physically
handicapped.
