• This is called metabolic syndrome, which includes hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and abdominal
obesity.
• Despite the impaired insulin secretion that is characteristic of type 2 diabetes, there is enough insulin present to prevent the breakdown of fat and the accompany production of ketone.

124
Q

What happens in diabetes mellitus?

A

The body is unable to use glucose due to either the absence of insulin or the body’s resistance to use insulin. Therefore, the patient becomes HYPERGLYCEMIA (the glucose just hangs out in the blood stream which affects major organs of the body)

125
Q

What do patients look like clinically in type 1?

A

Patients are young and thin

126
Q

treatment for type 1

A

must use insulin

A

Genetic, auto-immune (virus) NOT RELATED TO LIFESTYLE (like type 2)

128
Q

cells quit responding to insulin (won’t let insulin do its job by taking the glucose into the cell). Therefore, the patient has INSULIN RESISTANCE. This leaves all the glucose floating around in the blood and the pancreas senses there’s a lot of glucose present in the blood so it releases even more insulin. Due to this the patient starts to experience hyperinsulinemia which caused metabolic syndrome

A

type 2

129
Q

causes insuline resistance

cytokines
