Q

what is monogenic diabetes?

A

some different types of diabetes in the “other” category that are all caused by a specific gene mutation (caused by one gene: monogenic).

so the genetic component is a direct cause rather than predisposition as in other types.

Q

what are the stages of development of type 1 diabetes? (look at graph slide 10 b-cell mass over age)

A

b cell mass normal:
1) genetic predisposition
2) potential precipitating event

b cell mass declining:
3) overt immunological abnormalities (ex. self antibodies present ect) - 1 autoantibody
normal insulin release

> or= 2 autoantibodies:
4) progressive loss of insulin release
glucose normal

5) overt diabetes
c- peptide present (representing: some self insulin )

6) no c peptide present

Q

explain firefly process of autoimmunity in type 1 d (check diagram slide 13)

A

1) APC presents auto anitgen to CD4
2) CD4 T cell activates (b cell and ) CD8 t cell
3) cd8 goes to islets and starts lysing beta cells in pancreas expressing auto antigen
4) this is exacerbrated by inflammatory cytokines (released by the lysed cells?)
this is also supported by defective (wrongly trained from thymus) T reg cells that fail to supress autoimmunity

Q

do all type 1 diabetes patients eventually lose all their insulin production? does that matter in terms of treatment?

A

Some people with type 1 diabetes continue to produce small amounts of insulin
Not enough to negate the need for insulin therapy

however Even this little is good, in research they were less likely to have complicaitons and less likely to have low blood sigars after treat ect

Q

at what stage of t1d are pancreatic autoantibodies most apparent in sera of patients? (why?: not in bullets but key for understanding)

A

at diagnosis, because down the line the more the b cells are destroyed over years., there isnt anything to attack any more really so antibodies decrease

Q

why may you have cachexia and weigh loss (one of the mechs) in t1d? (muscle wasting

A

because the body cant use glucose for energy so it uses stored fat (lipolysis resulting in nefa and gly) and protein from muscles (proteinolysis gives aas) also glycolysis from liver

Q

why may you hyperventilate in t1d?

A

if you have ketoacidosis, blood body tries to excrete as much co2 as possible by hyperventilating to make the blood less acidic (co2- carbonic acid in blood- acidic blood)

Q

what are the aims of type 1 diabetes treatment?

A

(glucose, insulin, ketones, complications)
prevent acute metabolic decompensation (crises such as ketoacidosis ect.)

restore a close to physiological insulin profile

maintain glucose levels without excessive hypoglycaemia

prevent microvascular (eyes) and macrovascular complications (ischaemic heart disease for ex.)

36
Q

complications of hyperglycemia acute

A

diabetic ketoacidosis

37
Q

complications of hyperglycaemia chronic 2 types and examples

A

macrovascular: ischaemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, peripheral vascular disease

and microvascular : retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy

38
Q

what are the different methods of management of type 1 diabetes and what type of condition is diabetes considered in terms of management?

A

-self-managed condition
- insulin treatment
- dietary support / structured educations
- technology (the new glu level monitor)
- transplantation (pump)

39
Q

what is a physiological insulin profile (see slide 25)

A

insulin is never completely suppressed, there is basal insulin which has a flat profile

prandial (post food) peak has 2 phases ( first is high peak, then lower peak then drops towards basal)

40
Q

In treatment, how is this pattern of insulin replicated?

A

1) different types of insulin given for the different insulin levels (prandial and basal) - short- quick acting/ long acting: basal (theres also an intermediate acting type)

2) different frequencies of administration for each type

41
Q

what is short acting insulin (molecular level) and examples of brands?

A

either exact molecular replicate of human insulin (actrapid)

or insulin analogue (lispro, aspart, glulisine)

42
Q

what is long acting insulin (molecular level)+ brands

A

either insulin bound to zinc or protamine (neutral protamine hagedorn (NPH)
OR
insulin analogue (glargine, determir, degludec)

43
Q

what is the typical basal bolus regime

A

3/d prandial: short acting after each meal
1/ d long acitng OR 2/ day if intermediate acting is used

44
Q

what does the insulin pump do (doses/ freq and method) and what do you have to do?

A

general:
insulin delivered in subcutaneous space

for bolus insulin:
1) you need to actively set it for when you have meals

2) pump can do continuous delivery (meaning not just injection at once, it can give the dose slowly over a few minutes/ hour?) of short acting insulin analogue

for long acting:
1) programme the device to deliver fixed units/ hour throughout the day (basal)

45
Q

what are some benefits of the insulin pump and what is the single greatest benefit

A

variable basal rates : biggest benefit
extended boluses
greater flexibility

46
Q

what are the 3 principles of dietary advice for people with t1d?

A

1) dose adjustment for carbohydrate content food
2) all patients should recieve training for cRBOHDRATE COUNTING
3) substitution of refined carbohydrate containing foods where possible

47
Q

nice guidlines dor type 1 diabetes (training patients related) 3 points

A

All people with type 1 diabetes should be offered a Structured Education Programme

e.g. DAFNE (dose adjustment for normal eating) but many others

5 day course on skills and training in self-management

48
Q

what is a hybrid closed loop system

A

implant of 2 devices that commnicate:
1) real time continuous glucose sensor (new thing)
2) glucose pump: a) will use an algorithm to calc insulin req from gluc level

49
Q

Is hybrid closed loop system available on NHS?

A

yes

50
Q

where do you get the cells for a islet cell transplant?

A

1) isolate human islets from pancreas of deceased donor

51
Q

where do you transplant the derived islet cells form donor?

A

Transplant into hepatic portal vein

52
Q

what other action is required for islet cell transplant to work

A

life long immunosupression

53
Q

what procedure increases the survival of pancreas graft?

A

a simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplant:

transplanting the pancreas graft ALONG WITH KIDNEYs (we dont know why exactly)

again requires life long immunosupression

54
Q

what is the aim/ benefits of transplants?

A

try to restore physiological insulin production to the extent that insulin can be stopped

Even if incomplete, often results in better control

55
Q

limitations fo transplants

A

Limitations: availability of donors, complications of life-long immunosuppression

56
Q

how do people without the continuous glucose monitoring device monitor glucose levels?

A

with capillary (finger prick) blood glucose monitoring

57
Q

what does HBA1c reflect and why so?

A

last 3 months of glycaemia
bc thats the lifepsan of a rbc and HBA1c is basically glycated haemoglobin

58
Q

what is a disadvanatge of HbA1c?

A

-Biased to the 30 days preceding measurement
means that if reflects more the glu levels in the past 30 days bc old glycated rbcs are starting to get replaced by new rbcs

59
Q

what is the difference between glycosylation and glycation and which process ois relevant to HbA1c

A

glycosylation is enzymatic- glycation is non enzymatic so its a linear chemical reaction

relevant is glycation

60
Q

what is the first step of the glycation reactions of hb? is it fats or slow ? is it an equillibrium?

A

N-terminal valine residue b-chain and glucose —–> <—– (equilibrium) Schiff base

its fast- takes hours

61
Q

what is the second step of the glycation reactions of hb? is it fats or slow ? is it an equillibrium?

A

slow-takes days

Schiff base—-> Amadori product (HbA1c)

62
Q

is this glycation a reversible reaction?

A

no

63
Q

other reasons why HBa1c is not a perfect measurement

A

(slide 36)

64
Q

what is used to guide insulin doses?

A

self-monitoring of blood glucose results at home and HbA1c results every 3-4 months

65
Q

what are acute complications from type 1 diabetes?

A

Diabetic ketoacidosis
Uncontrolled hyperglycaemia
Hypoglycaemia

66
Q

what are acute complications of t1d

A

Diabetic ketoacidosis
Uncontrolled hyperglycaemia

A

new onset type 1 diabetes

(but can occur in any type)

68
Q

what are some triggers of ketoacidosis

A

how common (not percentage expected just describe) is hypoglycaemia in type 1 diab patients?

A

To some extent an inevitable feature of the self-management of type 1 diabetes bc: Lost normal physiology and homeostasis’

72
Q

numerical def of hypoglycaemia

A

(variable) <3.6 mmol/L

73
Q

what is meant by severe hypoglycaemia?

A

any event requiring 3rd party assistance (this just means you lose ability to self manage, doesn’t mean you have too low level of glu-

74
Q

when can hypoglycaemia become a problem>?

A

Excessive frequency

Impaired awareness (unable to detect low blood glucose) (lack of adrenergic symptoms ) (i think this is severe hypoglycaemia)

Nocturnal hypoglycaemia (this is also severe)

Recurrent severe hypoglycaemia

75
Q

risks of hypoglycaemia

A

Seizure / coma/ death (dead in bed)
Impacts on emotional well-being
Impacts on driving
Impacts on day to day function
Impacts on cognition

76

e.g. Hypostop / glucogel
Complex carbohydrate

81
Q

acute management of hypoglycaemia:Unconscious or concerned about swallow

A

IV access
20% glucose IV
20% glucose IV

82
Q

if Deteriorating / refractory /insulin induced /difficult IV access?

A

consider IM /SC 1mg Glucagon

83
Q

is giving cake a good way to spike sigars?

A

no, if has fat, slows doen glu bsorption, you want pure sugar like choc, sweets ect

84
Q

why important language matters

A

What you tell them they think of that after bc they carry the diseas ewith them, so its better to use motivating language

this matter sbc its a self managed disease, so psych infl how well they manage themselves

85
Q

phrases to avoid

A

poor control’ ‘diabetes sufferer’
‘not coping’ ‘poor compliance’
‘how’s your control’
‘they’re diabetic’
‘you can’t eat that’

86
Q

more motivaitn emowering stuff

A

person living with diabetes’
‘it sounds like your diabetes has been challenging to manage recently’
‘what are your thoughts on your recent glucose levels’
‘let’s talk through different options and see what suits you’
