Prediabetes is a risk factor for:
CAD
Risk for prediabetes
overweight
45 or older
Immediate family member with Type II
Gestational diabetes or birth to baby >9 lbs
African American, Hispanic, American Indian, Alaska Native, Asian American
Glycosylated hemoglobin
HbA1C reflects mean blood glucose control over the past 2-3 months
the lower the better
Type II Risk
Prediabetes risk factors
Physically active less than 3 times a week
HTN (≥130/80)
HDL cholesterol < 35 mg/dL
Triglyceride ≥250 mg/dl
Type I Risk
Family history
More likely to develop in children, teens, young adults
Caucasian
Insulin is secreted by
B cells,& transports blood glucose into cells
Glucose function
used as energy
stored as glycogen
trigger increased secretion of insulin
Without insulin
decreased use of glucose
increased fat mobilization
impaired protein utilization
Cardinal Signs of DM
Polydipsia (1 & 2)
Polyuria (1 & 2)
Weakness, fatigue, dizziness (1 & 2)
Polyphagia (1)
Weight loss (1)
Ketonuria (1)
Asymptomatic (2)
Complications of DM
Neuropathy
2 x risk of high BP
2-4 x risk of heart disease
2-4 x risk of stroke
Blindness
Kidney failure
LE amputation
CKD
chronic kidney disease
staged 1-5
Impaired Tissue Healing
Blood vessels
hyperglycemia correlates w/ stiff blood vessels, leading to reduced circulation and microvascular dysfunction resulting in reduced tissue oxygenation
Impaired Tissue Healing
Wound healing
reduced leukocyte migration into a wound, which becomes more vulnerable to infection
