Type I DM pathology - ANS-strongly associated with the presence of human leukocyte
antigens (HLA), islet cell antibodies found in 90% of pts, Ketone development usually
occurs, believed to be the result of environmental/infectious insult to pancreatic B cells
in a genetically predisposed person
Type II DM oathology - ANS-circulating insulin exists enough to prevent ketoacidosis,
caused either by tissue insensitivity to insulin or an insulin secretory defect, assoc w/
met syndorme & obesity
Metabolic syndrome - ANS-Any 3 of the following: waist circumference >40" M, >35" W,
BP >130/85, triglycerides >150, FBG >100, HDL <40 M, <50 W
Type I DM sx - ANS-polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia, wt loss, nocturnal enuresis,
weakness, fatigue

serum fasting (8 hr) BG >126 x 2
ketonemia, ketonuria, or both
BUN/Cr elevated (dehydration)
OGTT >200 2 hrs post prandial
Hgb A1C >5.7%

Non-sulfonyurea insulin release stimulators - ANS-rapidly absorbed from intestine,
mimics the effect of rapidly acting insulin
Repaglinide
Nateglinide
Exentide - ANS-injectable that mimics effects of incretins (signals pancreas to increase
insulin secretion and liver to stop producing glucagon), may cause n/v/d
Sitagliptan - ANS-Januvia
DD-4 inhibito, DD-r breaks down incretins
Pramlintide - ANS-Symlin- injectible, resembles human amylin, slows absorption of
glucose and inhibits the action of glucagons; promotes wt loss white <BG
