INTRODUCTION
 Definition:
 chronic metabolic disorder of multiple
etiology in which the body can’t
metabolize carbohydrate, fats and
proteins
 because of defects in insulin secretion
and/or action.
5
INTRODUCTION
 As of 2015, an estimated 415 million
people had diabetes worldwide, with
type 2 DM making up about 90% of
the cases.
 Diabetes at least doubles a person's risk
of early death.
 From 2012 to 2015, approximately 1.5
to 5.0 million deaths each year resulted
from diabetes.
CLASSIFICATION
7
Classification of DM
I. Type 1 DM
 It is due to insulin deficiency and is formerly known
as:
o Type I
o Insulin Dependent DM (IDDM)
o Juvenile onset DM
II. Type 2 DM
 It is a combined insulin resistance and relative
deficiency in insulin secretion and is frequently
known as:
o Type II
o Noninsulin Dependent DM (NIDDM)
o Adult onset DM
8
Classification of DM
III. Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM):
 Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) developing
during some cases of pregnancy but usually
disappears after pregnancy.
IV. Secondary DM:
 Results from another medical condition or due to the
treatment of a medical condition that causes
abnormal blood glucose levels
o Cushing syndrome (e.g. steroid administration)
o Hyperthyroidism
9
Etiology
Etiology of Type 1 Diabetes:
 Autoimmune disease
 Selective destruction of cells by T cells
 Several circulating antibodies against
cells
 Cause of autoimmune attack: unknown
 Both genetic & environmental factors are
important
10
Etiology
Etiology of Type 2 Diabetes:
 Response to insulin is decreased
o glucose uptake (muscle, fat)
o glucose production (liver)
 The mechanism of insulin resistance is
unclear
 Both genetic & environmental factors are
involved
 Post insulin receptor defects
11
Epidemiology
Type 1 DM:
 It is due to pancreatic islet β-cell
destruction predominantly by an
autoimmune process.
 Usually develops in childhood or early
adulthood
 accounts for upto 10% of all DM cases
 Develops as a result of the exposure of a
genetically susceptible individual to an
environmental agent
12
Epidemiology
Type 2 DM:
 It results from insulin resistance with a
defect in compensatory insulin secretion.
 Insulin may be low, normal or high!
 About 30% of the Type 2 DM patients are
undiagnosed (they do not know that they
have the disease) because symptoms are
mild.
 accounts for up to 90% of all DM cases
RISK FACTORS
14
Risk Factors
 For Type 1 DM
 Genetic predisposition
 In an individual with a genetic
predisposition, an event such as virus or
toxin triggers autoimmune destruction of
β-cells probably over a period of several
years.
15
Risk Factors
 For Type 2 DM
 Family History
 Obesity
 Habitual physical inactivity
 Previously identified impaired glucose
tolerance (IGT) or impaired fasting
glucose (IFG)
 Hypertension
 Hyperlipidemia
DIAGNOSIS
17
Clinical manifestations
 Type 1 DM:
 Polyuria
 Polydipsia
 Polyphagia
 Weight loss
 Weakness
 Dry skin
 Ketoacidosis
18
Clinical manifestations
 Type 2 DM:
 Patients can be asymptomatic
 Polyuria
 Polydipsia
 Polyphagia
 Fatigue
 Weight loss
 Most patients are discovered while
performing urine glucose screening
19
Clinical manifestations
20
Complications
 Acute Complications
 Hypoglycemia
 Diabetic ketoacidosis
 Hyperosmolar hyperglycemic
nonketotic syndrome
21
Complications
 Chronic Complications
 Macrovascular complications:
 Coronary heart disease, stroke and
peripheral vascular disease
 Microvascular Complications:
 Retinopathy, nephropathy and
neuropathy
22
Complications
23
Laboratory examination
 Fasting blood glucose(FBG)
 Glucose blood concentration in samples
obtained after at least 8 hours of the last
meal
 Random Blood glucose
 Glucose blood concentration in samples
obtained at any time regardless the time
of the last meal
24
Laboratory examination
 Glucose tolerance test(OGTT)
 75 gm of glucose are given to the patient
with 300 ml of water after an overnight
fast
 Blood samples are drawn 1, 2, and 3
hours after taking the glucose
 This is a more accurate test for glucose
utilization if the fasting glucose is
borderline
25
Laboratory examination
 Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C)
 Normally it comprises 4-6% of the total
hemoglobin.
 Increase in the glucose blood
concentration increases the glycated
hemoglobin fraction.
 HbA1C reflects the glycemic state during
the preceding 8-12 weeks
26
Laboratory examination
 Glucosuria
 To detect glucose in urine by a paper
strip
 Semi-quantitative
 Normal kidney threshold for glucose is
essential
 Ketonuria
 To detect ketonbodies in urine by a paper
strip
 Semi-quantitative

nutrition and exercise habits that will
lead to improved metabolic control
33
Nutritional Therapy
 Type 1 DM
o Diet based on usual food intake,
balanced with insulin and exercise
patterns
o In most cases, high carbohydrate, low
fat, and low cholesterol diet taken
 Type 2 DM
o Calorie reduction
34

37
Drug Therapy: Insulin
 Exogenous insulin:
 Required for all patient with type 1 DM
 Prescribed for the patient with type 2
DM who cannot control blood glucose
by other means
38
Drug Therapy: Insulin
 Source of insulin
 Human insulin
o Most widely used type of insulin
o Cost-effective & less allergic reaction
 Insulins differ in regard to onset, peak
action, and duration
 Different types of insulin may be used
for combination therapy
39
Drug Therapy: Insulin
 Types of insulin
 Regular insulins
 Insulin analogs
 Pre-mixed insulin
40
Drug Therapy: Insulin
 According to onset:
o Rapid-acting insulin e.g. Insulin lispro and
insulin aspart
o Short-acting insulin e.g. Regular insulin
o Intermediate-acting insulin e.g. NPH and Lente
insulin
o Long-acting insulin e.g. Insulin Glargine
o Mixture of insulin can provide glycemic control
over extended period of time e.g. Humalin
70/30 (NPH + regular)
41
Drug Therapy: Insulin
 Methods of Insulin Administration
 Cannot be taken orally
 Insulin delivery methods
o Ordinary SQ injection with syringes
o Insulin pen
o Insulin pump
42
Drug Therapy: Insulin
43
Drug Therapy: Insulin
 Administration of insulin
 Fastest absorption from abdomen,
followed by arm, thigh, buttock
 Rotate injections within one particular
site
 Do not inject in site to be exercised
44
Drug Therapy: Insulin
45
Drug Therapy: Insulin
 Problems with insulin therapy
 Hypoglycemia :
o Due to too much insulin in relation to
glucose availability
 Allergic reactions
 Local inflammatory reaction
 Lipodystrophy
o Hypertrophy or atrophy of SQ tissue due
to frequent use of same injection site.
46
Drug Therapy: Insulin
 Drugs interfering with glucose tolerance
 Diazoxide
 Thiazide diuretics
 Corticosteroids
 Oral contraceptives
 Streptazocine
 Phenytoin
o All these drugs increase the blood glucose
concentration.
47
Drug Therapy: Oral Agents
 Increase insulin production by pancreas
 Reduce glucose production by liver
 Enhance insulin sensitivity and glucose
transport into cell
 Slow absorption of carbohydrate in
intestine
48
Sulfonylureas
 Stimulate the pancreatic secretion of
insulin
 Classifications:
 First generation
 e.g. tolbutamide, chlorpropamide, and
acetohexamide
 Second generation
 e.g. glimepiride, glipizide, and glyburide
49
Sulfonylureas
 Side effects
 Hypoglycemia
 Hyponatremia (with tolbutamide and
chlorpropamide)
 Weight gain
50
Meglitinides
 E.g Repaglinide ,Nateglinide
 Stimulate the pancreatic secretion of
insulin
 Should be given before meal or with the
first bite of each meal.
 Should not be taken if meal skipped
 Lower incidence of hypoglycemia
(0.3%)
51
Biguanides
 E.g Metformin
 Act by
o Reduces hepatic glucose production
o Increases peripheral glucose utilization
 Does not promote weight gain
 Side effects
 Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and
anorexia
 lactic acidosis (rare)
52
Glitazones (PPARγ - Agonists)
 E.g Rosiglitazone - Pioglitazone
 Act by stimulation of peroxisome
proliferator-activated receptor γ
o Reduces insulin resistance in the
periphery and possibly in the liver
 Most effective in those with insulin
resistance
 Edema and weight gain are the most
common side effects.
53
α-Glucosidase Inhibitors
 E.g Acarbose - Miglitol
 Act by
o Slow down absorption of carbohydrate
in small intestine
o Prevent the breakdown of sucrose and
complex carbohydrates
o Th net result reduction of postprandial
blood glucose rise
54
Amylin analog
 Indicated for type 1 and type 2 diabetics
 Administered subcutaneously (Thigh or
abdomen)
 Slows gastric empyting, reduces
postprandial glucagon secretion,
increases satiety
 Example :Pramlintide (Symlin)
55
Incretin mimetic
 Synthetic peptide
 Given by subcutaneous injection
 Activates GLP-1 receptor
 This results in :
o Stimulates release of insulin from β cells
o Suppresses glucagon secretion
o Reduces food intake
o Slows gastric emptying
 Not to be used with insulin
 Example : Exenatide - liraglutide
56
DPP4-Inhibitors
 Inhibits DPP-4
 This results in increase of GLP-1 action
leading to improved pancreatic islet
glucose sensing, increase glucose uptake
 Example : Sitagliptin - Linagliptin
57
SGLT-2 Inhibitors
 SGLT-2 :Sodium Dependent Glucose
Transporters – 2
 Inhibit glucose reabsorption in renal
proximal tubule
 Resultant glucosuria leads to a decline in
plasma glucose & reversal of glucotoxicity
 This therapy is simple & nonspecific
 Even patients with refractory type 2
diabetes are likely to respond
58
Pharmacotherapy :Type 2 DM
 General considerations:
 Consider therapeutic life style changes
(TLC) for all patients with Type 2 DM
 Initiation of therapy may depend on the
level of HbA1C
o HbA1C < 7% may benefit from TLC
o HbA1C 8-9% may require one oral agent
o HbA1C > 9-10% my require more than
one oral agent
59
Pharmacotherapy :Type 2 DM
 Obese Patients :
 Metformin or glitazone then if inadequate
 Add SU or short-acting insulin
secretagogue then if inadequate
 Add Insulin or glitazone
60
Pharmacotherapy :Type 2 DM
 Non-Obese Patients :
 Add SU or short-acting insulin
secretagogue then if inadequate
 Add Metformin or glitazone then if
inadequate
 Add Insulin
61
Pharmacotherapy :Type 2 DM
 Early insulin resistance :
 Metformin or glitazone then if inadequate
 Add glitazone or metformin then if
inadequate
 Add SU or short-acting insulin
secretagogue or insulin
62
Pharmacotherapy :Type 1 DM
 The choice of therapy is simple
o All patients need Insulin
 The goal is:
o To balance the caloric intake with the
glucose lowering processes (insulin and
exercise), and allowing the patient to live
as normal a life as possible
63
Pharmacotherapy :Type 1 DM
 The insulin regimen has to mimic the
physiological secretion of insulin
 With the availability of the SMBG and
HbA1C tests adequacy of the insulin
regimen can be assessed
 More intense insulin regimen require more
intense monitoring
64
Pharmacotherapy :Type 1 DM
 Example:
1) Morning dose (before breakfast):
Regular + NPH or Lente
2) Before evening meal:
Regular + NPH or Lente
 Require strict adherence to the timing of
meal and injections
65
Pharmacotherapy :Type 1 DM
 Modification
 NPH evening dose can be moved to
bedtime
 Three injections of regular or rapid acting
insulin before each meal + long acting
insulin at bedtime (4 injections)
 The choice of the regimen will depend on
the patient
66
Pharmacotherapy :Type 1 DM
 How much insulin ?
 A good starting dose is 0.6 U/kg/day
 The total dose should be divided to:
o 45% for basal insulin
o 55% for prandial insulin
67
Pharmacotherapy :Type 1 DM
 Self-monitoring of blood glucose(SMBG)
 Extremely useful for outpatient monitoring
specially for patients who need tight control
for their glycemic state.
 A portable battery operated device that
measures the color intensity produced from
adding a drop of blood to a glucose oxidase
paper strip.
 e.g. One Touch, Accu-Chek, DEX, Prestige
and Precision.
68
Self Monitoring Test
69
Pharmacotherapy :Type 1 DM
 Insulin Pump Therapy
 This involves continuous SC administration
of short-acting insulin using a small pump
 The pump can be programmed to deliver
basal insulin and spikes of insulin at the time
of the meals
 Requires intense SMBG
 Requires highly motivated patients because
failure to deliver insulin will have serious
consequences
70
Pharmacotherapy :Type 1 DM
71
Acute Complication:
Hypoglycemia
 Hypoglycemia occurs due to too much
insulin (or oral agents) in relation to glucose
availability
 Brain requires constant glucose supply thus
hypoglycemia affects mental function
72
Acute Complication:
Hypoglycemia
 Clinical manifestations:
o Confusion, irritability
o anxiety, tachycardia, tremors
o Diaphoresis, tremor, hunger, weakness,
visual disturbances
o If untreated → loss of consciousness,
seizures, coma, death
73
Acute Complication:
Hypoglycemia
 Treatment for hypoglycemia
 Ingest simple CHO (fruit juice, soft drink), or
commercial gel or tablet
 Avoid sweets with fat (slows sugar absorption)
 Then eat usual meal snack or meal and
recheck
 if not alert enough to swallow
o Glucagon 1m IM or SQ (glycogen → glucose)
o Then complex CHO when alert
74
Acute Complication:
Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA)
 Usually in Type 1 diabetes; can occur in
Type 2
 Causes:
o Infection
o Stressors (physiological, psychological)
o Stopping insulin
o Undiagnosed diabetes
75
Acute Complication:
Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA)
 Clinical manifestations:
o Dehydration
o Deep difficult breathing (d/t metabolic
acidosis)
o Fruity breath (d/t acetone)
o Abdominal pain, N & V, cardiac
dysrhythmias
76
Acute Complication:
Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA)
 Treatment
 Replace fluid and electrolytes
 Insulin (First IV bolus, then infusion)
 correct precipitating cause (e.g., infection,
etc.)

    59 Pharmacotherapy :Type 2DM  Obese Patients :  Metformin or glitazone then if inadequate  Add SU or short-acting insulin secretagogue then if inadequate  Add Insulin or glitazone
  • 60.
    60 Pharmacotherapy :Type 2DM  Non-Obese Patients :  Add SU or short-acting insulin secretagogue then if inadequate  Add Metformin or glitazone then if inadequate  Add Insulin
  • 61.
    61 Pharmacotherapy :Type 2DM  Early insulin resistance :  Metformin or glitazone then if inadequate  Add glitazone or metformin then if inadequate  Add SU or short-acting insulin secretagogue or insulin
  • 62.
    62 Pharmacotherapy :Type 1DM  The choice of therapy is simple o All patients need Insulin  The goal is: o To balance the caloric intake with the glucose lowering processes (insulin and exercise), and allowing the patient to live as normal a life as possible
  • 63.
    63 Pharmacotherapy :Type 1DM  The insulin regimen has to mimic the physiological secretion of insulin  With the availability of the SMBG and HbA1C tests adequacy of the insulin regimen can be assessed  More intense insulin regimen require more intense monitoring
  • 64.
    64 Pharmacotherapy :Type 1DM  Example: 1) Morning dose (before breakfast): Regular + NPH or Lente 2) Before evening meal: Regular + NPH or Lente  Require strict adherence to the timing of meal and injections
  • 65.
    65 Pharmacotherapy :Type 1DM  Modification  NPH evening dose can be moved to bedtime  Three injections of regular or rapid acting insulin before each meal + long acting insulin at bedtime (4 injections)  The choice of the regimen will depend on the patient
  • 66.
    66 Pharmacotherapy :Type 1DM  How much insulin ?  A good starting dose is 0.6 U/kg/day  The total dose should be divided to: o 45% for basal insulin o 55% for prandial insulin
  • 67.
    67 Pharmacotherapy :Type 1DM  Self-monitoring of blood glucose(SMBG)  Extremely useful for outpatient monitoring specially for patients who need tight control for their glycemic state.  A portable battery operated device that measures the color intensity produced from adding a drop of blood to a glucose oxidase paper strip.  e.g. One Touch, Accu-Chek, DEX, Prestige and Precision.

    69 Pharmacotherapy :Type 1DM  Insulin Pump Therapy  This involves continuous SC administration of short-acting insulin using a small pump  The pump can be programmed to deliver basal insulin and spikes of insulin at the time of the meals  Requires intense SMBG  Requires highly motivated patients because failure to deliver insulin will have serious consequences

    71 Acute Complication: Hypoglycemia  Hypoglycemiaoccurs due to too much insulin (or oral agents) in relation to glucose availability  Brain requires constant glucose supply thus hypoglycemia affects mental function
  • 72.
    72 Acute Complication: Hypoglycemia  Clinicalmanifestations: o Confusion, irritability o anxiety, tachycardia, tremors o Diaphoresis, tremor, hunger, weakness, visual disturbances o If untreated → loss of consciousness, seizures, coma, death
  • 73.
    73 Acute Complication: Hypoglycemia  Treatmentfor hypoglycemia  Ingest simple CHO (fruit juice, soft drink), or commercial gel or tablet  Avoid sweets with fat (slows sugar absorption)  Then eat usual meal snack or meal and recheck  if not alert enough to swallow o Glucagon 1m IM or SQ (glycogen → glucose) o Then complex CHO when alert
  • 74.
    74 Acute Complication: Diabetic Ketoacidosis(DKA)  Usually in Type 1 diabetes; can occur in Type 2  Causes: o Infection o Stressors (physiological, psychological) o Stopping insulin o Undiagnosed diabetes
  • 75.
    75 Acute Complication: Diabetic Ketoacidosis(DKA)  Clinical manifestations: o Dehydration o Deep difficult breathing (d/t metabolic acidosis) o Fruity breath (d/t acetone) o Abdominal pain, N & V, cardiac dysrhythmias
  • 76.
    76 Acute Complication: Diabetic Ketoacidosis(DKA)  Treatment  Replace fluid and electrolytes  Insulin (First IV bolus, then infusion)  correct precipitating cause (e.g., infection, etc.)
