    This document provides information about diabetes mellitus, including the different types and their symptoms and treatment. There are three main types of diabetes: type 1 caused by the immune system attacking the pancreas and requiring insulin injections; type 2 usually occurring in overweight individuals who produce some insulin but not enough and can sometimes be controlled through diet and medication; and gestational diabetes during pregnancy. Left untreated, diabetes can cause serious health complications. Both hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) are medical emergencies treated differently - hyperglycemia requires no first aid while hypoglycemia is treated by raising blood sugar levels with food or drink before seeking further help.

    The key takeaways are that diabetes mellitus is characterized by high blood glucose levels due to lack of insulin or resistance to insulin. There are three main types - type 1, type 2 and gestational diabetes. High or low blood sugar can cause various symptoms and complications.

    The main types of diabetes mellitus are type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes. Type 1 is caused by the immune system attacking insulin-producing cells. Type 2 is usually seen in overweight individuals and is caused by insulin resistance or lack of insulin. Gestational diabetes occurs during pregnancy.

    The symptoms of hyperglycemia include a rapid pulse, fruity breath, excessive thirst, drowsiness, confusion and unconsciousness.

    What is Diabetes Mellitus?


    What different types are there?
    Hyper/Hypoglycaemia
    Signs and symptoms
    Treatment

    What is diabetes mellitus?

    Latin for sweet urine


    No production of insulin
    Not enough insulin
    Insulin resistance

    4.45% of UK population
    2.9 million people diagnosed

    What is insulin?
    Produced by
    pancreas
    Key to unlock cells
    to allow glucose in
    Allows glucose to
    be stored
    With no insulin
    blood glucose
    increases
    With insulin, but
    other reasons -

    Types of Diabetes Mellitus


    Type 1 (Insulin Dependent Diabetes
    Mellitus)
    Type 2 (Non-Insulin Dependent
    Diabetes Mellitus)
    Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

    Normal blood glucose = 4-7mmol/l

    Type 1 Diabetes

    Juvenile Diabetes
    Immune system attacks pancreas cells
    Insulin not produced
    Glucose can not be used
    Increased blood glucose level
    Genetic link

    Controlled by insulin injection


    Oral insulin = currently impossible

    Type 2 Diabetes

    Usually in overweight individuals


    Body produces some insulin not enough
    Resistance to insulin in body
    Increased blood glucose levels

    Diet controlled
    Metformin
    Insulin injection

    Gestational diabetes
    Occurs during pregnancy
    Not enough insulin produced
    Can be sign of pre-existing diabetes
    Insulin injection (temporary)

    Symptoms of diabetes

    Increased thirst/hunger
    Tiredness
    Nausea/vomiting
    Sweet breath
    Blurred vision
    Increased resps
    Polyuria
    Glucose in urine

    Weight loss

    Problems caused by

    Neuropathy
    Reduced wound healing
    Stroke
    Heart disease
    Hypertension
    Retinopathy
    Peripheral vascular disease
    Kidney disease
    Foot problems

    Hypoglycaemia
    LOW blood sugar
    Can be caused by:

    Not eating enough


    Exercise
    Overdose of diabetic medication
    Alcohol

    Hyperglycaemia
    HIGH blood sugar
    Can be caused by:

    Eating too much sugar


    Skipping/missing diabetes medication
    Infection
    Stress
    Decreased activity

    Symptoms of
    hyperglycaemia

    Rapid pulse
    Fruity breath
    Excessive thirst
    Drowsy
    Confused
    Unconsciousness

    Treatment
    As first aid nothing
    Get to hospital ASAP
    DRABC

    Symptoms of
    Hypoglycaemia

    History of diabetes
    Weakness
    Hunger
    Confusion/irrational behaviour
    Sweating/cold/clammy
    Rapid pulse
    Palpitations
    ? Diabetic bracelet

    Treatment

    Raise blood sugar


    Give lucozade/sugary drink/food
    Glucogel??
    Carbohydrates
    Get appropriate medical help
    If unconscious do not give
    food/drink
    DRABC

    Conclusion
    Diabetes is common
    Likely to have to treat
    Try to determine
    hypo/hyperglycaemia ASAP
    If hyper no first aid treatment!
    DRABC!!!
