Non-communicable diseases
Disease that is:
- non-transmittable
- multifactorial
⇒ i.e. cancer
"Non-communicable diseases is a diseases, caused due to multiple causes and are not passed or transmitted directly or indirectly from person to another by any agency" E.g: Cancer etc "Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), is a diseases which are not passed from person to another" E.g: Cancer etc
- CV-D
- DM
- COPD
- Cancer
Risk factors:
smoking, faules schwein, harmful drinking, excess salt + general unhealthy diet
→ HT, Overweight/obesity, Hyperglycemia, Hyperlipemia
- dont smoke
- dont eat shit
- sport
- dont drink (too much) alc
- Effective interventions targeting shared risk factors can largely prevent chronic diseases, including heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and cancer.
- Eliminating the major risk factors could prevent approximately 75% of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes, as well as 40% of cancer.
- Shared risk factors that should be addressed include tobacco use, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, and harmful use of alcohol.
- Diabetes mellitus
- Obesity
- Dyslipidemia
- Metabolic Syndrome
Multifactorial cause:
Environmental factors (smoking, unhealthy diet), sedentary lifestyle, genetic, stress
- individual: decr. lifeexpectancy + quality
- epidemiologic: obesity, diabetes + CV-D epidemic
- economic, social: incr. costs, decr. productivity + incr. discrimination
screening! → early detection
symptoms occur when chronic complications already present

⇒ 📷
Type 1:
After initial presentation, honeymoon period often occurs where glycemic control can be achieved with little or no insulin treatment (residual cells still able to produce insulin). Once these cells destroyed→ complete insulin deficiency
Type 2:
Early on, glucose tolerance remains normal despite insulin resistance (B cells compensate with increased insulin production) with time: Insulin resistance and compensatory hyperinsulinism continue ⇒ cells are unable to maintain the hyperinsulinemic state which results in glucose intolerance and DM
Type 1:
Insulin
Type 2:
- Lifestyle modification
- Non-insulin anti-hyperglycemic agents → metformin should be the initial antihyperglycemic agent of choice. Additional agents to be selected on the basis of clinically relevant issues, such as glucose lowering effectiveness, risk of hypoglycemia, and effect on body weight
- Insulin therapy
Type 1: DKA if severe
Type 2: HHS, DKA if severe
- increased risk for spontaneous abortion and congenital malformations

- history of IFG or IGT
- excessive weight gain (during first 6month of pregnancy)
- PCOS
high risk before week 24 → negative → repeat week 24-28
moderate risk → week 24-28
- DM in pregnancy
- Gestational DM
Random Gluc >200 → check FPG or A1C → if FPG>126 or A1C>6.5% = diabetes mellitus in pregnancy

- Proinsulin consists of two chains, A and B, which are connected by a polypeptide called C-peptide. 📷
- Insulin is activated upon the release of C-peptide during secretion. 📷
- C-peptide is an indicator of endogenous insulin secretion and is produced in equimolar amounts with insulin.
- C-peptide has a lower clearance than insulin.
GLUT-2
>90 mg/dl
- Activation of glucosensor at PG > 90mg/dl
- Closure of ATP-dependent K+ channels
- Opening of voltage-dependent Ca++ channels
- Depolarization
- Insulin secretion is initiated by the transport of glucose into pancreatic cells via glucose transporters GLUT2.
- Glucose is then phosphorylated and converted into glucose-6-phosphate through glycolysis, which inhibits ATP-dependent K+ channels.
- Inhibition of ATP-dependent K+ channels leads to membrane depolarization and the opening of calcium channels.
- Calcium influx stimulates insulin secretion.
- Normal insulin secretion:
- Very rapid first-phase insulin secretion
- Lower, sustained rate of insulin secretion that stops abruptly at the end of glucose infusion
- Impaired glucose tolerance:
- Loss of first-phase insulin secretion
- Much higher rate of insulin secretion than in a normal person, which persists after glucose infusion has ended
- Overall, insulin resistance is much higher in impaired glucose tolerance.
ANABOLIC
- GLUT-4 activation→ Glucose uptake+ glucose oxidation
- glycogen synthesis
- lipogenesis+antilipolytic

Risk of DM type 1 in offspring:
- Maternal T1DM: 2-3%
- Paternal TIDM: 5-6%
- Both parents with T1DM: 30%
genetic predisposition + triggering factors → progress. beta-cell destruction → ABSOLUTE insulin deficiency
OBESITY →
- Insulinresistance→ increased hepatic glucose production, decreased muscular+adipocyte uptake
- beta-cell dysfunction→ can't keep up with the IR→ decreased secretion due to depletion
- genetic susceptibility, obesity, sedentary lifestyle
increased lipolysis and FFA flux due to hungrrrry cells 🍖 (cant get gluc into cells)
- increased hepatic glucose production because the cells are hungrrrrry
- decreased uptake of muscles and adipocytes
lipotoxicity, glucotoxicity→ beta cell dysfunction
absulute insulin deficiency DM1
gluc cant get into cell → no energy → incr. in ketonbodies instead

peripheral neuropathy in the setting of DM without other causes
peripheral → motor + sensory
autonomic
Neuropathy Type | Presentation |
Peripheral Sensory Neuropathy | Sensation alterations (paresthesias) like tingling or itching, neuropathic pain, radicular pain, and sensory loss manifesting as numbness or reduced tactile perception. These symptoms are bilateral, symmetric, and often include diminished perception of vibration and pain/temperature, primarily in the lower limbs but can also affect the hands. There may be a reduction in ankle reflexes. Entrapment syndromes, such as carpal tunnel, may be the initial manifestation, potentially leading to neuropathic ulceration of the foot. |
Motor Neuropathy | Characterized by less frequency compared to sensory neuropathy, there is delayed motor nerve conduction and muscle weakness or atrophy. It may affect a single nerve trunk (mononeuropathy) or multiple (mononeuritis multiplex). Some motor neuropathies may resolve spontaneously within 6 to 8 weeks. Conditions include reversible cranial neuropathies such as III (ptosis/ophthalmoplegia, pupil sparing), VI (abducens paralysis), and VII (Bell's palsy). Diabetic amyotrophy is associated with pain, weakness, and wasting of hip flexors or extensors. |
Autonomic Neuropathy | Presents with postural hypotension, increased heart rate (tachycardia), and a decreased cardiovascular response to the Valsalva maneuver. Gastrointestinal manifestations include gastroparesis, alternating diarrhea and constipation. Urogenital complications encompass urinary retention and erectile dysfunction. |

🐷 Metabolic Syndrome, Obesity & Nutrition
JUST READ THE LECTURE + SEE ABOVE:
- Lifestyle + Nutrition
Mediteranean diet 📷
A food is considered functional if it positively affects one or more specific bodily functions, going beyond basic nutritional benefits, and is relevant to improving health, well-being, and disease risk reduction.
Diabetology focuses on the health benefits of live microorganisms, such as lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria, which can lower cholesterol and blood pressure, improve immune function, prevent infections and colon cancer, reduce allergies and inflammation. Yoghurt consumption can also improve mineral absorption, help with irritable bowel syndrome and colitis, prevent gastrointestinal infections, and reduce oxidative stress.

normal action PCSK-9 → inactivates LDL receptor on hepatocytes → less LDL into liver, more remain in blood
MABs→ inhibit PCSK-9 → decreased LDL-receptor breakdown
>880 mg/dl→ fibrates
>200 mg/dl
statins as first-line treatment
if LDL is within target: add Fenofibrate
🧶 Hyperuricemia
femals: <6
males: <7
70% via kidney
30% via intestines
patients with acidosis (i.e. diabetic ketoacidosis) → decr. tubular secretion
metabolic syndrome
- diuretic therapy
- diabetes insipidus
- CVD
- Obesity
- kidney failure (GFR <20)
- Hypertension
- Hypothyroidism
- Hyperparathyroidism
- tumor lysis syndrome
- preeclampsia,eclampsia
- gout→ monoarthritis, gouty tophy 📷
- urolithiasis→ flank pain, hematuria, nausea, vomiting
- patients with family history
- patients with DMT2, High BP, Obesity, Dyslipidemia
urea comes from protein catabolism (nitrogenous waste product)
uric acid→ purine metabolism
- uric acid
- CBC (malignancy, hemolysis, lead poisoning)
- electrolytes, urea, serum creatinine (abnormal in acidosis or renal diseases)
- Liver function tests (malignancy or metabolic disorder)
- Glycemia (DM)
- Lipid profile (dyslipidemia)
- Calcium and phosphate levels (hyperparathyroidism, sarcoidosis, myeloma, renal disease)
- TSH (hypothyroidism)
lifestyle
avoid meats poultry, fish, seafood, alcohol
NSAIDS, intra-articular Glucocorticoids
Colchicine
+lifestyle as in asymptomatic
- Probenecid→ increases excretion
- Allopurinol→ Xanthine oxidase inhibitor → inhibit production of uric acid
- prophylactic colchicine (acute lowering can precipitate an acute gout attack)
- +lifestyle
- allopurinol
- increase urin pH→ Potassium citrate, Sodium Bicarbonate
- adequate hydration
- +lifestyle
