Diabetes
• A group of diseases characterized by hyperglycemia caused by defects in insulin
secretion, insulin action, or both
• Affects nearly 25.8 million people in the United States; one third of the cases are
undiagnosed
• Prevalence is increasing
• Minority populations and older adults are disproportionately affected
Classifications of Diabetes
• Type 1 diabetes
• Type 2 diabetes
• Latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA)
• Gestational diabetes
• Diabetes associated with other conditions or syndromes
• Refer to Table 51-1

Functions of Insulin
• Transports and metabolizes glucose for energy
• Stimulates storage of glucose in the liver and muscle as glycogen
• Signals the liver to stop the release of glucose
• Enhances storage of dietary fat in adipose tissue
• Accelerates transport of amino acids into cells
• Inhibits the breakdown of stored glucose, protein, and fat
Type 1 Diabetes
• Insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas are destroyed by a combination of genetic,
immunologic, and environmental factors
• Results in no insulin production, unchecked glucose production by the liver and fasting
hyperglycemia - Affects 5% of adults with diabetes
Type 2 Diabetes
• Insulin resistance and impaired insulin secretion
• Affects 95% of adults with diabetes, onset over age 30 years, increasing in children r/t
obesity
• Slow, progressive glucose intolerance and may go undetected for years
• Pathogenesis of Type 2 Diabetes
Latent Autoimmune Diabetes of Adults (LADA)
• Subtype of diabetes in which progression of autoimmune beta cell destruction in the
pancreas is slower than in types 1 and 2 diabetes
• Not insulin dependent in the initial 6 months of disease onset.
• Clinical manifestation of LADA shares the features of types 1 and 2 diabetes
• Emerging subtype has led some to propose the diabetes classification scheme should be
revised to reflect changes in the beta cells in the pancreas
Risk Factors

NRSG 3320 Adult Health 1 - Exam 2 Review
• Type 1: early-onset, familial, genetic predisposition, possible immunologic or
environmental (viral or toxins) factors
• Refer to Chart 51-1
• Type 2: obesity, age, previous identified impaired fasting glucose or impaired glucose
tolerance, hypertension ≥140/90 mm Hg, HDL ≤35 mg/dL or triglycerides ≥250 mg/dL,
history of gestational diabetes or babies over 9 pounds
Clinical Manifestations
• Depends on the level of hyperglycemia
• “Three Ps”
• Polyuria
• Polydipsia
• Polyphagia
Diagnostic Findings
• Fasting blood glucose 126 mg/dL or more
OR
• Casual glucose exceeding 200 mg/dL plus symptoms
OR
• Post-load glucose > 200 mg/dL
OR
• A1C > 6.5%
Medical Management of Diabetes
• Main goal is to normalize insulin activity and blood glucose levels to reduce the
development of complications.
• The ADA now recommends HgbA1C less than 7%
• Diabetes management has five components:
• Nutritional therapy
• Exercise
• Monitoring
• Pharmacologic therapy
• Education
Dietary Management Goals
• Control of total caloric intake to attain or maintain a reasonable body weight
• Control of blood glucose levels
• Normalization of lipids and blood pressure to prevent heart disease
Role of the Nurse
• Be knowledgeable about medical and dietary management
• Communicate important information to the dietician or other management specialists
• Reinforce patient understanding
