Summarize Types 1 and 2 Diabetes in terms of etiology, pathogenesis, clinical picture, diagnosis, and treatment rationale
Summarize Types 1 and 2 Diabetes in terms of etiology, pathogenesis, clinical picture, diagnosis, and treatment rationale.
| The 5 General Topics of Disease Summary |
| 1. Etiology & risk factors |
| 2. Pathogenesis: The molecular mechanism of the disease process (How the disease process evolves) |
| 3. Clinical Picture: Signs& Symptoms, Sequelae, and Complications |
| 4. Diagnosis: Labs & tests (as well as screening tests and follow-up tests whenever applicable) |
| 5. Pathophysiologic rationale of treatment |
- Etiology:
- Etiology of Type 1 Diabetes
- Etiology of Type 2 Diabetes
- Pathogenesis:
For both types, explain how the etiology results in the blood chemistry disturbance and produce the clinical symptoms.
- Clinical Picture:
- Signs and symptoms of diabetes. (most common presentations of both types)
- Complications of diabetes: Hypoglycemic crisis, hyperglycemic crises, macrovascular complications, microvascular complications.
- Diagnosis:
- Diagnosis of diabetes& screening: Fasting vs random blood sugar
- Follow up: role of HGB-A1C
- The pathophysiologic rationale of treatment:
How does the pathophysiology involved in each type of diabetes affect the choice of treatment (Insulin vs non-insulin therapy)
