7、 years.,International Diabetes Federation(IDF)data indicate that by the year 2025,the number of people affected will reach 333 million 90%of these people will have Type 2 diabetes.,In most Western societies,the overall prevalence has reached 4-6%,and is as high as 10-12%among 60-70-year-old people.,
8、The annual health costs caused by diabetes and its complications account for around 6-12%of all health-care expenditure.,Burden of Diabetes,Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus,Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus,Gestational Diabetes,Other types:,LADA(,MODY(,maturity-onset diabetes of youth),Secondary Diabetes Mellitus,Ty
9、pes of Diabetes,Was previously called insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus(IDDM)or juvenile-onset diabetes.,Type 1 diabetes develops when the bodys immune system destroys pancreatic beta cells,the only cells in the body that make the hormone insulin that regulates blood glucose.,This form of diabetes
10、 usually strikes children and young adults,although disease onset can occur at any age.,Type 1 diabetes may account for 5%to 10%of all diagnosed cases of diabetes.,Risk factors for type 1 diabetes may include autoimmune,genetic,and environmental factors.,Type 1 diabetes,Was previously called non-ins
11、ulin-dependent diabetes mellitus(NIDDM)or adult-onset diabetes.,Type 2 diabetes may account for about 90%to 95%of all diagnosed cases of diabetes.,It usually begins as insulin resistance,a disorder in which the cells do not use insulin properly.As the need for insulin rises,the pancreas gradually lo
12、ses its ability to produce insulin.,Type 2 diabetes is associated with older age,obesity,family history of diabetes,history of gestational diabetes,impaired glucose metabolism,physical inactivity,and race/ethnicity.,African Americans,Hispanic/Latino Americans,American Indians,and some Asian American
13、s and Native Hawaiians or Other Pacific Islanders are at particularly high risk for type 2 diabetes.,Type 2 diabetes is increasingly being diagnosed in children and adolescents.,Type 2 diabetes,A form of glucose intolerance that is diagnosed in some women during pregnancy.,Gestational diabetes occur
14、s more frequently among African Americans,Hispanic/Latino Americans,and American Indians.It is also more common among obese women and women with a family history of diabetes.,During pregnancy,gestational diabetes requires treatment to normalize maternal blood glucose levels to avoid complications in
15、 the infant.,After pregnancy,5%to 10%of women with gestational diabetes are found to have type 2 diabetes.,Women who have had gestational diabetes have a 20%to 50%chance of developing diabetes in the next 5-10 years.,Gestational diabetes,Other specific types of diabetes result from specific genetic
16、conditions(such as maturity-onset diabetes of youth),surgery,drugs,malnutrition,infections,and other illnesses.,Such types of diabetes may account for 1%to 5%of all diagnosed cases of diabetes.,Other types of DM,Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults(LADA)is a form of,autoimmune,(,type1 diabetes,)whic

26、hey also cause increased insulin resistance due to increased free fatty acid mobilization.,Secondary DM,Prediabetes is a term used to distinguish people who are at increased risk of developing diabetes.People with prediabetes have impaired fasting glucose(IFG)or impaired glucose tolerance(IGT).Some
27、people may have both IFG and IGT.,IFG is a condition in which the fasting blood sugar level is elevated(100 to 125 milligrams per decilitre or mg/dL)after an overnight fast but is not high enough to be classified as diabetes.,IGT is a condition in which the blood sugar level is elevated(140 to 199 m
28、g/dL after a 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test),but is not high enough to be classified as diabetes.,Prediabetes:Impaired glucose tolerance and impaired fasting glucose,Progression to diabetes among those with prediabetes is not inevitable.Studies suggest that weight loss and increased physical act

31、s.,Lifestyle interventions included diet and moderate-intensity physical activity(such as walking for 2 1/2 hours each week).,In the Diabetes Prevention Program,a large prevention study of people at high risk for diabetes,the development of diabetes was reduced 58%over 3 years.,Prevention or delay o
32、f diabetes:Life style modification,Studies have shown that medications have been successful in preventing diabetes in some population groups.,In the Diabetes Prevention Program,people treated with the drug metformin reduced their risk of developing diabetes by 31%over 3 years.,Treatment with metform
33、in was most effective among younger,heavier people(those 25-40 years of age who were 50 to 80 pounds overweight)and less effective among older people and people who were not as overweight.,Similarly,in the STOP-NIDDM Trial,treatment of people with IGT with the drug acarbose reduced the risk of devel
34、oping diabetes by 25%over 3 years.,Other medication studies are ongoing.In addition to preventing progression from IGT to diabetes,both lifestyle changes and medication have also been shown to increase the probability of reverting from IGT to normal glucose tolerance.,Prevention or delay of diabetes
35、Medications,Management of Diabetes Mellitus,The major components of the treatment of diabetes are:,Management of DM,A,Diet and Exercise,B,Oral hypoglycaemic therapy,C,Insulin Therapy,Diet is a basic part of management in every case.Treatment cannot be effective unless adequate attention is given to
36、 ensuring appropriate nutrition.,Dietary treatment should aim at:,ensuring weight control,providing nutritional requirements,allowing good glycaemic control with blood glucose levels as close to normal as possible,correcting any associated blood lipid abnormalities,A.Diet,The following principles ar
37、e recommended as dietary guidelines for people with diabetes:,Dietary fat should provide,25-35%of total intake of calories but saturated fat intake,should not exceed 10%of total energy.Cholesterol consumption should be restricted and limited to 300 mg or less daily.,Protein intake can range between
38、10-15%total energy(0.8-1 g/kg of desirable body weight).Requirements increase for children and during pregnancy.Protein should be derived from both animal and vegetable sources.,Carbohydrates provide,50-60%of total caloric content of the diet.,Carbohydrates should be complex and high in fibre.,Exces
39、sive salt intake is to be avoided.It should be particularly restricted in people with hypertension and those with nephropathy.,A.Diet(cont.),Physical activity promotes weight reduction and improves insulin sensitivity,thus lowering blood glucose levels.,Together with dietary treatment,a programme of
40、 regular physical activity and exercise should be considered for each person.Such a programme must be tailored to the individuals health status and fitness.,People should,however,be educated about the potential risk of hypoglycaemia and how to avoid it.,Exercise,There are currently four classes of o

42、lifestyle modification within 1 3 months,ORAL ANTI-DIABETIC AGENT should be initiated.,In the presence of marked hyperglycaemia in newly diagnosed symptomatic type 2 diabetes(HbA1c 8%,FPG 11.1 mmol/L,or RPG 14 mmol/L),oral anti-diabetic agents can be considered at the outset together with lifestyle
43、modification.,B.1 Oral Agent Monotherapy,As first line therapy:,Obese type 2 patients,consider use of metformin,acarbose,or TZD.,Non-obese type 2 patients,consider the use of metformin or insulin secretagogues,Metformin is the drug of choice in overweight/obese patients.TZDs and acarbose are accepta
44、ble alternatives in those who are intolerant to metformin.,If monotherapy fails,a combination of TZDs,acarbose and metformin is recommended.If targets are still not achieved,insulin secretagogues may be added,B.1 Oral Agent Monotherapy(cont.),Combination oral agents is indicated in:,Newly diagnosed
45、symptomatic patients with HbA1c 10,Patients who are not reaching targets after 3 months on monotherapy,B.2 Combination Oral Agents,If targets have not been reached after optimal dose of combination therapy for 3 months,consider adding intermediate-acting/long-acting insulin(BIDS).,Combination of ins
46、ulin+oral anti-diabetic agents(BIDS)has been shown to improve glycaemic control in those not achieving target despite maximal combination oral anti-diabetic agents.,Combining insulin and the following oral anti-diabetic agents has been shown to be effective in people with type 2 diabetes:,Biguanide(
47、metformin),Insulin secretagogues(sulphonylureas),Insulin sensitizers(TZDs),(the combination of a TZD plus insulin is,not an approved indication),-,glucosidase inhibitor(acarbose),Insulin dose can be increased until target FPG is achieved.,B.3 Combination Oral Agents and Insulin,Diabetes Management A
48、lgorithm,Oral Hypoglycaemic Medications,In elderly non-obese patients,short acting insulin secretagogues can be started but long acting Sulphonylureas are to be avoided.Renal function should be monitored.,Oral anti-diabetic agent s are not recommended for diabetes in pregnancy,Oral anti-diabetic age
49、nts are usually not the first line therapy in diabetes diagnosed during stress,such as infections.Insulin therapy is recommended for both the above,Targets for control are applicable for all age groups.However,in patients with co-morbidities,targets are individualized,When indicated,start with a min
50、imal dose of oral anti-diabetic agent,while reemphasizing diet and physical activity.An appropriate duration of time(2-16 weeks depending on agents used)between increments should be given to allow achievement of steady state blood glucose control,General Guidelines for Use of Oral Anti-Diabetic Agen
