Classification of diabetes.

– DM is classified on the basis of the pathogenic process that leads to hyperglycemia

– Type 1 diabetes is the result of complete or near-total insulin deficiency.

– Type 2 DM is a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by variable degrees of insulin resistance, impaired insulin secretion, and increased glucose production.

Type 1 diabetes-Pathogenesis

17

Genetic Considerations

– Susceptibility to type 1 DM involves multiple genes.

– The major susceptibility gene for type 1 DM is located in the HLA region on chromosome 6. Polymorphisms in the HLA complex account for 40–50% of the genetic risk of developing type 1 DM.

05/01/23seminar by Dr sindhu

18

Immunologic Markers

– Islet cell autoantibodies (ICAs) are a composite of several different antibodies directed at pancreatic islet molecules such as GAD, insulin, and IA-2/ICA-512 and serve as a marker of the autoimmune process of type 1 DM.

– Assays for autoantibodies to GAD-65 are commercially available.

– Testing for ICAs can be useful in classifying the type of DM as type 1 and in identifying nondiabetic individuals at risk for developing type 1 DM

19

Environmental Factors

– Numerous environmental events have been proposed to trigger the autoimmune process in genetically susceptible individuals; however, none have been conclusively linked to diabetes.

– viruses (coxsackie and rubella most prominently), bovine milk proteins, and nitrosourea compounds.

05/01/23

20

Pathophysiology

– Islet cell types [alpha cells (glucagon-producing), delta cells (somatostatin-producing), or PP cells (pancreatic polypeptide-producing)] are functionally and embryologically similar to beta cells and express most of the same proteins as beta cells, they are inexplicably spared from the autoimmune process.

– Pancreatic islet molecules targeted by the autoimmune process include insulin, glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD, the biosynthetic enzyme for the neurotransmitter GABA), ICA-512/IA-2 (homology with tyrosine phosphatases), and phogrin (insulin secretory granule protein).

Type 2 DM

– Insulin resistance and abnormal insulin secretion are central to the development of type 2 DM.

– polygenic and multifactorial since in addition to genetic susceptibility, environmental factors (such as obesity, nutrition, and physical activity) modulate the phenotype.

05/01/23

25

Genetic Considerations

– Individuals with a parent with type 2 DM have an increased risk of diabetes; if both parents have type 2 DM, the risk approaches 40%.

– Insulin resistance, as demonstrated by reduced glucose utilization in skeletal muscle, is present in many nondiabetic, first-degree relatives of individuals with type 2 DM.

– The genes that predispose to type 2 DM are incompletely identified.

05/01/23

26

Genetic Considerations

– Transcription factor 7-like 2 gene that has been associated with type 2 diabetes in several populations and with impaired glucose tolerance in one population at high risk for diabetes.

– Genetic polymorphisms associated with type 2 diabetes have also been found in the genes encoding the peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor-, inward rectifying potassium channel expressed in beta cells, zinc transporter expressed in beta cells, IRS, and calpain 10.

35

Genetically Defined, Monogenic Forms of Diabetes Mellitus.

– 6 different variants of Maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY)caused by mutations in genes encoding islet-enriched transcription factors or glucokinase are transmitted as autosomal dominant disorders.

05/01/23

36

Genetically Defined, Monogenic Forms of Diabetes Mellitus.– MODY 1, MODY 3, and MODY 5

are caused by mutations in the hepatocyte nuclear transcription factor (HNF) 4, HNF-1α, and HNF-1β, respectively.

– These transcription factors are expressed in the liver pancreatic islets and kidney.

– These factors most likely affect islet development or the expression of genes important in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion or the maintenance of beta cell mass.

05/01/23

37

MODY 4

– MODY 4 is a rare variant caused by mutations in the insulin promoter factor (IPF) 1, which is a transcription factor that regulates pancreatic development and insulin gene transcription.

05/01/23

38

MODY 2– Mutations in the glucokinase

gene, have mild-to-moderate, stable hyperglycemia that does not respond to oral hypoglycemic agents.

– Glucokinase catalyzes the formation of glucose-6-phosphate from glucose, a reaction that is important for glucose sensing by the beta cells and for glucose utilization by the liver.

– As a result of glucokinase mutations, higher glucose levels are required to elicit insulin secretory responses, thus altering the set point for insulin secretion

Acute Complications of DM

05/01/23

40

Associated with absolute or relative insulin deficiency, volume depletion, and acid-base abnormalities

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).

05/01/23

41

DKA results from relative or absolute insulin deficiency combined with counter-regulatory hormone excess

05/01/23

42

The decreased ratio of insulin to glucagon

promotes gluconeogenesis,

glycogenolysis, and ketone body formation in

the liver, as well as increases in substrate delivery from fat and

muscle (free fatty acids, amino acids) to the liver.

Clinical Features

05/01/23

45

Hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state (HHS).

– HHS is primarily seen in individuals with type 2 DM.

– HHS is seen in an elderly individual with type 2 DM, with a several week history of polyuria, weight loss, and diminished oral intake that culminates in mental confusion, lethargy, or coma.

– The physical examination reflects profound dehydration and hyperosmolality and reveals hypotension, tachycardia, and altered mental status.

– Notably absent are symptoms of nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain and the Kussmaul respirations characteristic of DKA.

05/01/23seminar by Dr sindhu

46

Pathophysiology

– Relative insulin deficiency and inadequate fluid intake are the underlying causes of HHS.

– Insulin deficiency increases hepatic glucose production (through glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis) and impairs glucose utilization in skeletal muscle.

– Hyperglycemia induces an osmotic diuresis that leads to intravascular volume depletion, which is exacerbated by inadequate fluid replacement.

– The absence of ketosis in HHS is not completely understood.

Chronic Complications of DM

VASCULAR

Microvascular – Eye disease – Retinopathy

(nonproliferative/proliferative) Macular edema

– Neuropathy – Sensory and motor (mono- and

polyneuropathy) – Autonomic – Nephropathy

Macrovascular

– Coronary artery disease – Peripheral arterial disease – Cerebrovascular disease

NON-VASCULAR

– Gastrointestinal (gastroparesis, diarrhea)

– Genitourinary (uropathy/sexual dysfunction)

– Dermatologic

– Infectious

– Cataracts , Glaucoma

– Periodontal disease

05/01/23

49

Chronic Complications of DM

– The risk of chronic complications increases as a function of the duration of hyperglycemia; they usually become apparent in the second decade of hyperglycemia.

– Since type 2 DM often has a long asymptomatic period of hyperglycemia, many individuals with type 2 DM have complications at the time of diagnosis.

– The microvascular complications of both type 1 and type 2 DM result from chronic hyperglycemia.

05/01/23

50

Chronic Complications of DM

– Evidence implicating a causative role for chronic hyperglycemia in the development of macrovascular complications is less conclusive.

– coronary heart disease events and mortality are two to four times greater in patients with type 2 DM.

– These events correlate with fasting and postprandial plasma glucose levels as well as with the A1C.

– Other factors (dyslipidemia and hypertension) also play important roles in macrovascular complications

05/01/23

51

Mechanisms of Complications

– Hyperglycemia is an important etiologic factor leading to complications of DM.

– Mechanisms by which it leads to such diverse cellular and organ dysfunction is unknown.

– Four prominent theories, which are not mutually exclusive, have been proposed to explain how hyperglycemia might lead to the chronic complications of DM.

05/01/23seminar by Dr sindhu

52

THEORY 1

05/01/23

53

05/01/23

54

THEORY 2

– Hyperglycemia increases glucose metabolism via the sorbitol pathway.

– Intracellular glucose is predominantly metabolized by phosphorylation and subsequent glycolysis, but when increased, some glucose is converted to sorbitol by the enzyme aldose reductase.

– Increased sorbitol concentration alters redox potential, increases cellular osmolality, generates reactive oxygen species, and likely leads to other types of cellular dysfunction.

05/01/23

55

THEORY 3

– Hyperglycemia increases the formation of diacylglycerol leading to activation of protein kinase C (PKC).

– PKC alters the transcription of genes for fibronectin, type IV collagen, contractile proteins, and extracellular matrix proteins in endothelial cells and neurons.

– Inhibitors of PKC are being studied in clinical trials.

05/01/23

56

THEORY 4

– Hyperglycemia increases the flux through the hexosamine pathway, which generates fructose-6-phosphate, a substrate for O-linked glycosylation and proteoglycan production.

– The hexosamine pathway may alter function by glycosylation of proteins such as endothelial nitric oxide synthase or by changes in gene expression of transforming growth factor (TGF-) or plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1).

05/01/23

57

Unifying theory

– A possible unifying mechanism is that hyperglycemia leads to increased production of reactive oxygen species or superoxide in the mitochondria; these compounds may activate all four of the pathways.

– Although hyperglycemia serves as the initial trigger for complications of diabetes, it is still unknown whether the same pathophysiologic processes are operative in all complications or whether some pathways predominate in certain organs.

Glycemic Control and Complications

DCCT, UKPDS, and Kumamoto study

– chronic hyperglycemia plays a causative role in the pathogenesis of diabetic microvascular complications.

– These landmark studies prove the value of metabolic control and emphasize the importance of

– (1) intensive glycemic control in all forms of DM

– (2) early diagnosis and strict blood pressure control in type 2 DM.

05/01/23

60

Glycemic Control and Complications

– The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) provided definitive proof that reduction in chronic hyperglycemia can prevent many of the early complications of type 1 DM.

– Improvement of glycemic control reduced nonproliferative and proliferative retinopathy (47% reduction), microalbuminuria (39% reduction), clinical nephropathy (54% reduction), and neuropathy (60% reduction).

05/01/23

61

Ophthalmologic Complications of Diabetes Mellitus

– Diabetic retinopathy is classified into two stages:

– nonproliferative

– proliferative

– loss of retinal pericytes, increased retinal vascular permeability, alterations in retinal blood flow, and abnormal retinal microvasculature, all of which lead to retinal ischemia.

05/01/23seminar by Dr sindhu

62

Renal Complications of Diabetes Mellitus

– Chronic hyperglycemia leads to ESRD, though incompletely defined, involve the effects of soluble factors (growth factors, angiotensin II, endothelin, AGEs), hemodynamic alterations in the renal microcirculation (glomerular hyperfiltration or hyperperfusion, increased glomerular capillary pressure), and structural changes in the glomerulus (increased extracellular matrix, basement membrane thickening, mesangial expansion, fibrosis).

05/01/23

63

Neuropathy and Diabetes Mellitus

– Manifests as polyneuropathy, mononeuropathy and autonomic neuropathy.

– Development of neuropathy correlates with the duration of diabetes and glycemic control.

– Both myelinated and unmyelinated nerve fibers are lost.

– The most common form of diabetic neuropathy is distal symmetric polyneuropathy.

05/01/23seminar by Dr sindhu

64

Gastrointestinal/Genitourinary Dysfunction

– GI symptoms are delayed gastric emptying (gastroparesis) and altered

small- and large-bowel motility (constipation or diarrhea).

– Diabetic autonomic neuropathy may lead to genitourinary dysfunction

including cystopathy, erectile dysfunction, and female sexual dysfunction.

05/01/23

65

Cardiovascular Morbidity and Mortality

– Cardiovascular disease is increased in individuals with type 1 or type 2 DM.

– The prognosis for individuals with diabetes who have CAD or MI is worse than for nondiabetics.

– CAD is more likely to involve multiple vessels in individuals with DM.

– Evidence that improved glycemic control reduces cardiovascular complications in DM is inconclusive

05/01/23

66

Cardiovascular Morbidity and Mortality

– Individuals with insulin resistance and type 2 DM have elevated levels of plasminogen activator inhibitors (especially PAI-1) and fibrinogen, which enhances the coagulation process and impairs fibrinolysis, thus favoring the development of thrombosis.

– Diabetes is also associated with endothelial, vascular smooth-muscle, and platelet dysfunction.

05/01/23

67

Infections

– Individuals with DM have a greater frequency and severity of infection.

– Incompletely defined abnormalities in cell-mediated immunity and phagocyte function associated with hyperglycemia, as well as diminished vascularization.

– Hyperglycemia aids the colonization and growth of a variety of organisms (Candida and other fungal species).
