1. Summarize the causes and management of diabetes (both type I and type II). correct answersType 1:

- Causses: genetic, usually diagnosed young, lack of insulin production, pancreatic atrophy, and specific
loss of beta cells in the islets of Langerhans,

- hyperglycemia when 80-90% cells lost

-"honey urine"

- 2 subtypes

1. Autoimmune attack of beta cells

- macrophages, T and B lymphocytes, and NK cells

- HLA-DR3 and HLA-DR4: not everyone has both alleles, and not everyone that has both gets diabetes

2. Idiopathic: nonimmune related (we don't know)



- Treatment: fast-acting and long-lasting forms of insulin

-fast acting is put into subcutaneous layer



Type 2:

- Non-insulin dependent: lose sensitivity to insulin via down-regulation of insulin receptors; "insulin
resistance"

-no receptor = no effect from insulin, need a different treatment

- Major cause: nutrition, obesity, middle age, physical inactivity, genetic inheritance

- Subtypes: gestational (mom and baby)

obesity)

- Moves water and leads to dehydration: Seizures, DIC

- Type 2

- Caused by: infection, meds, not following diabetes treatment

8. Diabetic ketoacidosis:

- More common in type 1

- Low insulin = burning fatty acids and producing ketone bodies

- Can lead to hypotension

9. Hypoglycemia:
