RVS Chaitanya Koppala
Diabetes• Diabetes is a group of metabolic disorders
characterized by chronic hyperglycemia associated with disturbances of carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism due to absolute or relative deficiency in insulin secretion and/or action
• Diabetes causes long term damage, dysfunction & failure of various organs
Diagnosis of diabetes
• Fasting Plasma Glucose ≥ 126 mg / dl
• Symptoms of DM and a random blood glucose level of ≥ 200 mg/dl
• Oral glucose tolerance test– 2 hr after 75 gm glucose load ≥ 200 mg / dl
Classification of DiabetesProposed by ADA - 1997.
• Type I: – Absolute Insulin Deficiency due to islet cell
destruction • Either immune mediated or idiopathic
• Type II: – Relative insulin deficiency due to impaired -cell
function – Marked ↑ peripheral insulin resistance
• Type III: Other Specific types• Type IV: Gestational Diabetes
Other specific typesA) Genetic defects of Beta cell function (MODY syndromes)
B) Genetic defects in Insulin action (Lipo atrophic Diabetes)
C) Diseases of the Exocrine Pancreas (pancreatitis)
D) Secondary to Endocrinopathies (Acromegaly, Cushings syndrome)
E) Drugs / Chemical induced (Steriods, thiazides)
F) Infections (Congenital Rubella )
G) Uncommon form of Immune Mediated Diabetes. (Anti insulin receptor antibodies)
H) Other Genetic Syndromes associated with Diabetes (Down’s syndromes, Turners syndromes, Klinefelters syndrome)
Type 2 Diabetes
β cells : insulin 65-70 %
cells : glucagon 25 %
δcells : somatostatin 10 %
PP (or F cells): pancreatic polypeptide 2 %
Insulin
• Glucose transporters –
• GLUT 1 Non insulin mediated glucose
uptake• GLUT 3 • GLUT 2 – Beta cell – Glucose sensors
• GLUT 4 – Insulin mediated glucose uptake in
muscle & Adipose tissue
Cell at rest
Secretion of insulin > 70 mg/ml
GLUT 2
• Direct stimulation• Plasma glucose or Amino Acids , ketones
• Hormonal regulation• Gastrointestinal hormones (GIP, CCK) directly
stimulate β cells • Neural regulation
• Parasympathetic stimulates insulin release through IP3/ DAG
• Sympathetic NS inhibits insulin release through 2 receptor activation
Regulation of insulin secretion
Carbohydrate metabolism
• Over all action of insulin is to ↓ glucose level in blood – ↑ Transport of glucose inside the cell– ↑ Peripheral utilization of glucose – ↑ Glycogen synthesis– ↓ Glycogenolysis – ↓ Neoglucogenesis
Lipid metabolism
• ↓ Lipolysis • ↑ Lipogenesis • ↓ Ketogenesis • ↑ Clearance of VLDL & chylomicrons from
blood through enzyme Vascular Endothelial Lipoprotein Lipase
Protein metabolism
• Protein synthesis • ↑ entry of amino acids in cells
Electrolyte metabolism • ↑ transport of K+, Ca++, inorganic phosphates
Other actions • Vascular actions:
– Vasodilation ? Activation of endothelial NO production
• Anti-inflammatory action– Especially in vasculature
• Decreased fibrinolysis • Growth• Steroidogenesis

Indications of insulin in type II DM
• Primary or secondary failure of oral hypoglycemics
• Pregnancy• Perioperative period • Steroid therapy• Fasting > 300 mg HbA1c • Unintentional wt loss with or with out ketosis• Type 2 with DKA ( severe beta cell dysfunction)
Pathogenesis of DKA Insulin deficiency Absolute / relative
Counter hormone excess↓ Anabolism ↑ catabolism
↓Peripheral utilization of Glucose
Hyperglycemia
Heavy Glucosuria (osmotic diuresis)
Loss of water & electrolytes
↑ Glycogenolysis ↑ Glycolysis ↑Gluconeogenesis
Dehydration
+
Hyperosmolarity
↓ Fluid intake
Pathogenesis of DKA (How ketoacidosis occurs)
↑ FFA to liver
↑ Acetyl coA
↓ Alkali reserve
↑ Lipolysis
↑ Acetoacetyl coA
Acetoacetate -Hydroxy butrate Acetone
Hyperketonemia
Acidosis
Treatment of DKA
• Fluid therapy • Rapid acting regular insulin • Potassium replacement• Bicarbonate replacement• Phosphate replacement• Antibiotics • Treatment of precipitating cause• General measures
Fluid therapy • Adequate tissue perfusion is necessary insulin
action • Normal saline is fluid of choice for initial
rehydration – 1 litre in first hour – Next 1 L in next 2 hours – 2 litres in next 4 hours – 2 litres in next 8 hours
• i.e 4 to 6 litres in 24 hours • When BSL reaches 300 mg% fluid should be
changed to 5 % dextrose with concurrent insulin
Insulin in DKA • Regular/ short acting insulin IV treatment of
choice • Loading dose = 0.1-0.2 U/kg IV bolus • Then 0.1 U /kg/hr IV by continuous infusion• Rate doubled if no significant fall in BSL in 2 hr• 2-3 U/hr after BSL reaches 300mg%• If patient becomes fully conscious encouraged
to take oral food & SC insulin started
Potassium replacement
• In initial stage of treatment potassium not administered because in DKA it remains normal or ↑
• In presence of insulin infusion Sr potassium ↓ hence 10 mEq/L potassium can be added with 3rd bottle of normal saline
• Sr K+ < 3.3 mEq/L : 20 -30 mEq/hr
Bicarbonates & phosphates
• Bicarbonates – If blood pH > 7.1 no need of sodium bicarbonate – In presence of severe acidosis 50 mEq of sodium
bicarbonate added to IV fluid • Phosphates
– Non availability of ideal preparation– Replacement not very essential unless < 1 mEq/L– potassium phosphate 5-10 m mol/hr
Insulin resistance • State in which normal amount of insulin
produces subnormal amount of insulin response – ↓ insulin receptors – ↓ affinity for receptors
• May be acute or chronic • Requirement of > 200 Units of insulin per day
in absence of stress • Common in type II diabetics & obese
Oral antidiabetic drugs
• Sulfonylureas:• Meglitinides: • Biguanides :• Thiazolidinediones:• -glucosidase inhibitors:
Sulfonylureas I Generation
– Tolbutamide– Chlorpropamide
II Generation– Glipizide– Gliclazide– Glibenclamide (Glyburide) – Glimepiride
Adverse effects
• Hypoglycemia:• GI disturbances: Nausea, vomiting, metallic
taste, diarrhoea & flatulence • Weight gain • Hypersensitivity • Not safe in pregnancy • Chlorpropamide:
– cholestatic jaundice, dilutional hyponatremia, antabuse reaction
Contraindications 1. Allergy to SU
2. Renal failure:
3. Significant hepatic dysfunction
4. Severe infections, stress, trauma, major surgery
5. Pregnancy (except Glibenclamide)
6. T1DM
METFORMIN - INDICATIONS• Obese Type 2 Diabetes.
• Secondary Sulfonylurea Failure state.
• To reduce Insulin requirements.
• Can be combined with Sulfonylureas, Glitazones, Insulin.
Thiazolidinediones (Glitazones) Rosiglitazone & pioglitazone Selective agonists of PPAR
Bind to nuclear PPAR
Activate insulin responsive genes - regulate carbohydrate & lipid metabolism
Sensitize the peripheral tissues to insulin
↓blood glucose by
↑ Glucose transport into muscle & adipose tissue
Inhibit hepatic gluconeogenesis
Promote lipogenesis
• Pioglitazone: – 15 to 45 mg once daily orally
• Rosiglitazone: – 4 to 8 mg once daily orally
• Pt who benefit most are type II DM with substantial amount of insulin resistance
• Monotherapy – Hypoglycemia rare • Add-on Therapy – readjust dosage.• Takes one month to act
Alpha glucosidase inhibitors
• Acarbose • Miglitol • Voglibose
43
Voglibose
• Advantages over Acarbose and Miglitol– 20-30 times more potent then acarbose– Does not affect digoxin bioavailability unlike
acarbose– No dosage adjustment required in renal
impairment patients unlike miglitol– Superior tolerability– Dose: 0.2 to 5 mg
Newer drugs for Type II DM
• GLP-1 Analogues – Exenatide– Liraglutide
• DPP-IV Inhibitors– Sitagliptin– Vildagliptin– Alogliptin
• Amylin analog:Pramlintide
Principles of treatment of Type 2 DM
Grade Diabetes Mellitus as mild, moderate or severe NB: (150 -200 ---mild ) HbA1c < 8 ( 200-250 --- Moderate) HbA1c 8 - 9 ( more than 250 severe) HbA1c 9 - 10For severe DM start on insulin if there is wt loss &
ketosisFor mild & moderate DM use metformin if obese &
sulfonylureas if not obese
If diabetes not controlled
Look for SU failure Occult infection – TB – UTI Drug history and compliance Food history – hypoglycaemia
and compliance
cardiac problem – avoid glitazones if in failure avoid metformin Renal problem – avoid metformin
Liver problem – avoid glitazone and metformin In general
patients with complication
Short acting SU or insulin
Be ware of other drugs - Diuretics
- Corticosteroid
- Other hormones
- ACE inhibitors
