Diabetes Mellitus: Overview and Type I Subtype01:22

Diabetes Mellitus: Overview and Type I Subtype

2.8K
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 Mellitus: Type 2 and Gestational

2.6K
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...

Diabetes: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Complications

624
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...

Carbohydrate Metabolism01:36

Carbohydrate Metabolism

11.3K
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: Management and Pharmacotherapy

323
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...

Pathophysiology of Diabetes01:20

Pathophysiology of Diabetes

1.1K
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,...

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology and Metabolism
  • Public Health
  • Clinical Research

Background:

  • Ramadan fasting is a widespread religious practice observed annually by millions worldwide.
  • A significant number of individuals with type 1 diabetes observe Ramadan fasting, often with conflicting medical and religious guidance.
  • There is a notable lack of comprehensive scientific evidence detailing the risks associated with Ramadan fasting for patients with type 1 diabetes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically analyze and map the existing scientific literature on Ramadan fasting in patients with type 1 diabetes.
  • To identify and highlight critical scientific gaps in the current body of research.
  • To provide a foundation for future research and evidence-based guidelines.

Main Methods:

  • A scoping review will be conducted using the Arksey and O'Malley framework, incorporating later amendments.
  • Systematic searches of major databases (PubMed, Scopus, Embase) up to February 2022, supplemented by Persian and Arabic databases and grey literature.
  • Rigorous screening and data extraction process involving multiple reviewers to ensure accuracy and resolve discrepancies.

Main Results:

  • This section is to be populated upon completion of the review.
  • The review will synthesize findings from diverse sources, including published studies, conference proceedings, and dissertations.
  • Results will detail the identified risks, management strategies, and outcomes reported in the literature.

Conclusions:

  • This scoping review will provide a comprehensive overview of the current evidence regarding Ramadan fasting in type 1 diabetes.
  • It will identify key areas where further research is urgently needed to ensure patient safety and well-being.
  • The findings will inform clinical practice and public health recommendations for managing type 1 diabetes during Ramadan.
