Answer 1: Diabetes Mellitus- It is basically a metabolic
disorders which can be characterized by increased blood sugar
concentrations and disturbed insulin metabolism.
Prediabetes-Prediabetes is the state of having plasma glucose
levels higher than normal but not high enough to be diagnosed as
diabetes. It generally occurs in individuals who have metabolic
defects which would often lead to type 2 diabetes
Diabetic Coma- a coma that occurs in uncontrolled diabetes; may be
due to diabetic ketoacidosis, the hyperosmolar hyperglycemic
syndrome, or severe hypoglycemia. Diabetic coma was a frequent
cause of death before insulin was routinely used to manage
diabetes.
Retinopathy- A complication of diabetes that affects the
eyes.
Neuropathy- Weakness, numbness, and pain from nerve damage, usually
in the hands and feet.
Nephropathy- when the kidneys start to incur damage, which can
ultimately lead to kidney failure.
Gastroparesis- delayed stomach emptying; most often a consequence
of diabetes, gastric surgery, or neurological disorders.
Answer 2: Type 1 Diabetes: autoimmune, destruction of beta
cells= no insulin production, seen in children
Type 2 Diabetes: insulin resistant, seen later in life,
overweight/obese people.
Answer 3: Following are the risk factors for type II diabetes:
Age over 45
Being overweight
family history of diabetes
physical inactivity
race
glucose levels
Answer 4: Generally four lab tests are used for the diagnosis of diabetes:
plasma glucose concentration
- plasma glucose concentration is 126 mg/dL or higher after a fast
of at least 8 hours
- plasma glucose concentration of a random, or casual, blood sample
(that is, obtained from a nonfasting individual) is 200 mg/dL or
higher
- plasma glucose concentration measured 2 hours after a 75-gram
glucose load is 200 mg/dL or higher
The HbA1c level is 6.5 percent or higher
- Because the red blood cells in a blood sample used for an HbA1c
test are a mixture of cells of different ages, the test gives a
"weighted" average of recent blood glucose levels
- HbA1c test results are given as a percentage that indicates the
percentage of your HbA1c molecules that are linked to glucose
molecules

What tests are needed to diagnose type-1 vs. type 2 diabetes mellitus?
What are some modifiable risk factors for Diabetes Mellitus Type 2
Case study: Mr. F. was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus at age 46. At that time, he was overweight, enjoyed foods with high carbohydrate and fat content, and led a sedentary life. His family history indicated that his mother and his brother had diabetes. Weight loss, appropriate diet, and exercise were recommended to reduce blood glucose levels. 1. List the factors contributing to diabetes mellitus in this case. At age 50, Mr. F. noticed that his vision was cloudy,...
