insulin resistance
ab obesity
increased LDL/BP/artery disease
Waste circumference >35/40
Lifestyle changes
34
Q

Type 2 DM insulin resistance physiology

A

unresponsive to insulin (b/c of receptors) –> blood glucose ^ –> pancrease secretes more insulin (hypersecretion) = beta cell exhaustion/death

35
Q

Type 2 DM TX

A
lifestyle change
antidiabetic drugs (lower BG)
insulin
