Diabetes Mellitus: Type 2 and Gestational01:22

Diabetes Mellitus: Type 2 and Gestational

3.1K
Type 2 diabetes, characterized by insulin resistance, arises when the insulin receptors on cells lose responsiveness to insulin, diminishing the cell's capacity to take up glucose, resulting in elevated blood glucose levels. To receive a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes, a series of blood glucose tests are necessary to assess whether the blood glucose falls within normal parameters. If the result is out of the normal range, a patient may be diagnosed as prediabetic or diabetic, depending on the...

Pathophysiology of Diabetes

1.8K
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia. The four categories of diabetes are type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, other specific types of diabetes, and gestational diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β cells, with environmental factors potentially triggering this process in genetically susceptible individuals. Despite many not having a family history, certain genes increase susceptibility,...

Carbohydrate Metabolism01:36

Carbohydrate Metabolism

12.6K
Carbohydrates are polymers composed of molecules containing atoms of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. One gram of carbohydrate can provide four kilo-calories of energy, which makes it the most efficient instant energy source.
Starch accounts for approximately 60% of the carbohydrates consumed by humans. Since amylase enzymes cannot function in the stomach's acidic environment, starch can only be digested in the mouth and small intestine. Simple sugars are found naturally in milk and fruits in...

Diabetes: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Complications

1.1K
For most patients, experiencing several weeks of polyuria, polydipsia, fatigue, and significant weight loss may indicate the presence of diabetes. Furthermore, adults displaying the phenotypic appearance of type 2 diabetes (particularly those who are obese and not initially insulin-requiring), may have islet cell autoantibodies, suggesting autoimmune-mediated β cell destruction and a diagnosis of latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA). The categorization of glucose homeostasis is...

Diabetes Mellitus: Overview and Type I Subtype

3.5K
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by high blood glucose levels due to inadequate insulin production, insulin resistance, or both. The condition affects millions worldwide and can significantly impact their health and quality of life.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. As a result, the body is unable to produce sufficient insulin, and individuals with...

Diabetes: Management and Pharmacotherapy

440
The therapy for diabetes aims to alleviate hyperglycemia-related symptoms, prevent acute metabolic decompensation, and reduce chronic end-organ complications. Glycemic control is evaluated through short-term (self-monitoring, continuous glucose monitoring) and long-term (A1c, fructosamine) metrics, enabling near real-time tracking of blood glucose levels and reflecting glycemic control over specific time frames.
Insulin remains the cornerstone of treatment for most patients with type 1 and many...

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology and Metabolism
  • Women's Health
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Type 2 diabetes (T2D) management has improved, yet a gender-specific approach for women is lacking.
  • Existing T2D treatments do not fully address the unique biological, socioeconomic, and psychosocial factors affecting women.
  • Special attention is needed for pregnant women with diabetes due to its impact on maternal and offspring health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the challenges in diabetes management for women in India.
  • To highlight the need for a gender-centric approach in diabetes care for women.
  • To emphasize the importance of personalized treatment considering women's specific needs.

Main Methods:

  • Collated expert opinions from the Jothydev's Professional Education Forum Diabetes Convention.
  • Conducted a literature review of studies from PubMed and Google Scholar.
  • Focused on challenges in the Indian diabetes care sector concerning women.

Main Results:

  • The complex interplay of biological, socioeconomic, psychosocial, and physiological factors in women with T2D is underaddressed.
  • Key biological factors include neurohumoral pathways, sex hormones, and genetic predisposition.
  • Gender-based environmental and behavioral differences significantly influence diabetes management.

Conclusions:

  • Clinical management of diabetes and its complications in Indian women faces significant challenges.
  • A women-centric approach is essential for effective diabetes management in this population.
  • Personalized diabetes treatment must integrate a comprehensive understanding of women's health.
