What is T2DM?Insulin resistance and reduced insulin production causing high blood sugar levels What are the two components of T2DM?Insulin resistance & beta cell dysfunction / death How is beta cell compensation compared in diabetic and non diabetic patients?NONDIABETIC: Beta cell compensation to increase function and mass to increase insulin secretion DIABETIC: Beta cell de-compensation results in reduced beta cell function and mass so less insulin secretion What can cause insulin ...

Type 2 characteristics 1. 90-95% of diabetes 2. most are obese 3. risk increases with age, obesity, and sedentary lifestyle, hx of gest diabetes, HTN, dyslipidemia 4. strong genetic predisposition 5. occurs more often in ethnic minorites: AA, native americans, hispanics, asian americans 6. may go undiagnosed for years 7. increased risk for heart dz Prediabetes 1. impaired fasting blood glucose: >100 2. impaired glucose tolerance, 2 hour values following glucose tolerance test: >1...

Public health implications of diabetes Type 2 diabetes mellitus is common * 28.9 million people in US living with it * 12.3% of population Type 2 diabetes mellitus is becoming more prevalent, as is obesity Type 1 diabetes is more commonly diagnosed in children, especially below age 10, but type 2 diabetes is becoming increasingly common in children, especially ages 10-19 * kids become more insulin resistant during puberty than before or after → increased resistance + other risk factor...
