Objectives
At the end of this session, the trainees should be
able to:– list diagnostic criteria for DM
– describe how to differentiate Type I & II DM
– explain symptoms and signs of diabetes
– discuss the evidence for lifestyle changes
– describe the indications, contraindications, and
side effects of antidiabetic agents
DM in Saudi Arabia
Lifestyle Changes :
Social & cultural changes
Prevalence :
• Diabetes mellitus as a health problem in Saudi
Arabia
• prevalence of DM is 23.7 % according to Dr. Al
Nozha study (SMJ 2004)
– 1 / 4 of adults > 30 yr are diabetics.
– 36 Foot Amputation / day, at Riyadh.

III- Other specific types.
IV- Gestational diabetes mellitus.
Etiologic Classification of Diabetes
Mellitus
 Type 1:
 b-cell destruction with lack of insulin .
 has absolute insulin deficiency
 predisposed to develop ketoacidosis
 insulin is required for survival.
Etiologic Classification of
Diabetes Mellitus
 Type 2
 has relative insulin deficiency combined with
defects in insulin action.
 is the most common form of diabetes,
accounting for 90–95% of the disease
 is most often found in overweight individuals.

States". JAMA 290 (14): 1884–90. doi:10.1001/jama.290.14.1884.
Risk Factors for Type 2 DM
• Modifiable
– Overweight and obesity
– Sedentary lifestyle
– Previously identified
IGT and IFG
– Metabolic syndrome
– Diatery factors
– Intrauterine
environment
– Inflamation
• Non- Modifiable

Symptoms & Signs
• Classical symptoms
– Unusual thirst (Polydipsia)
– Frequent urination (Polyuria)
– Unusual weight loss
• Other symptoms

–
Extreme fatigue or lack of energy
Unusually hungry
Moody & irritable
Blurred vision
Have recurrent infections
Wounds and bruises that are slow to heal
Get a lot of yeast infections
Have tingling or numbness in the hands and/or feet
• Patients may present with a variety of symptoms or even
symptomless
Criteria to diagnosis diabetes
• FPG >126 mg/dl (7.0 mmol/l)
( Fasting is defined as no caloric intake for at least 8 h) OR
• Symptoms of diabetes and a casual plasma
glucose > 200 mg/dl (11.1 mmol/l) OR
• 2-h plasma glucose > 200 mg/dl (11.1 mmol/l)
during an OGTT.
( The test should be performed as described by the W H O (using a glucose load
containing the equivalent of 75g anhydrous glucose dissolved in water)).

(e.g., hemochromatosis, pancreatic disease)
First visit evaluation
Laboratory evaluation
• HBA1c
• Fasting lipid profile
• Test for microalbuminuria
• Serum creatinine in adults .
• Thyroid-stimulating hormone (if indicated)
• Electrocardiogram in adults (if indicated)
• Urinalysis for ketones and protein
Management Goals



Annual visits and examinations should be done
regularly
Eliminate symptoms and improve well-being
Prevent and retard microvascular complications



optimize glycemic control
target blood pressure levels
Reduce macrovascular events

Key concepts in setting glycemic goals
Goals should be individualized based on:
● duration of diabetes
● pregnancy status
● age
● co-morbid conditions
● hypoglycemia unawareness
● individual patient considerations

Things to keep in mind during
management of Diabetes

Type 2: Deterioration of beta cells over time

Increasing prevalence with increasing risk factors,
e.g obesity

Hyperglycemia affects morbidity, mortality and
resources

Tight glycemic control with insulin may reduce
costly complications

30% to 40% of patients ultimately require insulin
Non-pharmacologic Therapy for DM
Lifestyle therapeutic modifications

Diet





Improved food choices
Spacing meals
Individualized carbohydrate content
Moderate calorie restriction
Exercise
 improve blood glucose control
 reduce cardiovascular risk factors
 contribute to weight loss.
 improve well-being.
Nutritional recommendations for DM
patients
• Protein to provide 10-20% of kcal/day
• Saturated fat to provide < 10% of kcal/day (< 7 % for those with
elevated LDL).
• Polyunsaturated fat to provide < 10 % of kcal.
• Remaining calories to be divided between carbohydrate &
monounsaturated fat, based on medical needs & personal
tolerance.
• Use of caloric sweeteners is acceptable.
