6. Pathophysiology
destruction of betacell in thepancreas
- autoimmuneresponse towards betacells:
CD4+ T helper cells and CD8+ T cells
autoantibody-producing B cells and activation of
the innate immunesystem
(GAD . ICA)
7. Prognosis
60% of patients:
do not develop seriouscomplicationsover thelong term,
40% of patients:
blindness,
end-stagerenal disease(ESRD)
early death
ESRD and proliferativeretinopathy istwiceashigh in men asin women
8. type2
Most common form of DM
Characterized by disorder in insulin action and insulin secretion or both.
Specific etiology unknown
Insulin resistance
ProgressiveB-cell failure.
They areobese.
9. Pathophysiology
insufficient insulin production from betacells
increased glucoseproduction in liver
insulin resistance
1- acanthosisnigricans
2- metabolic syndrome
3- polycystic ovary syndrome
11. Majorrisk factors
Age˃45
Obesity
Family history
History of previousimpaired glucosetolerance(IGT)
Hypertension (>140/90 mm Hg) or dyslipidemia
History of gestational diabetesmellitus
pcos(which resultsin insulin resistance)
15. Risk of developing GDM
Old women (especially for women over 35 yearsof age)
Previoushistory of glucoseintolerance
A previouspregnancy which resulted in achild with amacrosomia
16. Diagnostic Criteria
Note: In the absence of unequivocal hyperglycemia, result(s) should be
confirmed by repeat testing.
