A disease in which the body does not produce or
properly use insulin
25.8 million children and adults in the U.S., or 8.3% of
the population, have diabetes.
Estimated 18.8 million diagnosed with diabetes, 7.0
million people are unaware that they have the disease.

Diabetes- What is it?
Body is not producing or has lost
sensitivity to insulin.
Insulin is a hormone that is needed to convert
sugar, starches and other food into energy.
Insulin is produced in the body by the
pancreas.
![Page 5: Jennifer Wagner Cayemberg, MS, RD, LDN. A disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin 25.8 million children and adults in the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649f305503460f94c4aa27/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
A gland that lies behind the stomach
Islets of Langerhans produces three hormones.
The islets contain 3 types of cells:
◦ Alpha, beta, and delta.
◦ Alpha cells produce glucagon.
◦ Beta cells produce insulin
◦ Delta cells produce somatostatin
These cells have special sensors
that monitor levels of blood sugar and
stimulate the release of the correct hormone.
![Page 6: Jennifer Wagner Cayemberg, MS, RD, LDN. A disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin 25.8 million children and adults in the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649f305503460f94c4aa27/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Glucagon : Hormone that increases the amount
of glucose in the blood when it is needed
(opposite of insulin).
Somatostatin: Hormone that can suppress both
glucagon and insulin when needed.
Insulin: Hormone that lowers blood glucose.

Insulin
![Page 8: Jennifer Wagner Cayemberg, MS, RD, LDN. A disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin 25.8 million children and adults in the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649f305503460f94c4aa27/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
A person normally secretes insulin in response to
an elevated blood sugar level.
It does this by accelerating blood sugar movement
out of the blood and into the cells.
Cells will not allow blood sugar in without insulin…
this can cause a problem.
![Page 9: Jennifer Wagner Cayemberg, MS, RD, LDN. A disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin 25.8 million children and adults in the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649f305503460f94c4aa27/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Type 1: immune system has made a big mistake!
It attacks the beta cells and destroys them!
Type 2: pancreas is still making insulin, just not
enough to keep up, or their bodies have become
insulin resistant!
![Page 10: Jennifer Wagner Cayemberg, MS, RD, LDN. A disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin 25.8 million children and adults in the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649f305503460f94c4aa27/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Screening for all patients at age 45. If results are normal, repeat every 3 years.
Screening at a younger age if patient meets following: ◦Obesity◦ First degree relative with diabetes◦Belongs to high-risk ethnic group◦Was diagnosed with gestational diabetes or delivered a
baby whose birth weight >9 lbs.◦Hypertension◦HDL level<35 or triglycerides >250◦ Found to have impaired glucose tolerance or impaired
fasting on a previous test.

Usually diagnosed in children and young adults.
Must take daily insulin shots to stay alive.
Type 1 accounts for 5-10% of the population with
diabetes.
Results from the body's failure
to produce insulin, the hormone
that "unlocks" the cells of the body,
allowing glucose to enter and fuel them.
![Page 12: Jennifer Wagner Cayemberg, MS, RD, LDN. A disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin 25.8 million children and adults in the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649f305503460f94c4aa27/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The most common form of the disease.
Approximately 50% of men and 70% of women are
obese at the time of diagnosis.
Nearing epidemic proportions, due to increase # of older
Americans, greater occurrence of obesity and sedentary
lifestyles.
Results from insulin resistance (a condition in which the
body fails to properly use insulin), combined with relative
insulin deficiency.
![Page 13: Jennifer Wagner Cayemberg, MS, RD, LDN. A disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin 25.8 million children and adults in the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649f305503460f94c4aa27/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Reported rates of gestational diabetes range from 2% - 10%.
Pregnant women have a higher insulin level.
If woman has hyperglycemia, her blood glucose crosses the placenta
but her insulin does not.
This can cause a high birth weight for baby as baby is receiving
glucose.
Women who have had gestational diabetes have a 35% - 60%
chance of developing diabetes in the next 10–20 years.

Occurs when blood glucose levels are higher than normal, but
not high enough for a diagnosis of Type 2.
In 2005–2008, based on fasting glucose or Hgb A1c levels, 35%
of U.S. adults aged 20 years or older had prediabetes .
Increased risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.
People with prediabetes who lose weight and increase their
physical activity can prevent or delay type 2 diabetes and in
some cases return their blood glucose levels to normal.

Some diabetes symptoms include:
Frequent urination: polyureaExcessive thirst : polydypsiaExtreme hunger: polyphasia
Unusual weight loss Increased fatigue
Irritability Blurry vision

Fasting blood glucose level between 100 - 125 mg/dl signals
pre-diabetes.
A person with a fasting blood glucose level of 126 mg/dl or
higher has diabetes.
In order to be diagnosed with diabetes person must have
symptoms of diabetes +
◦ Nonfasting plasma glucose >200
◦ Fasting blood glucose of >126 mg/dl
◦ 2-hour plasma glucose >200 mg/dl on oral glucose test
![Page 17: Jennifer Wagner Cayemberg, MS, RD, LDN. A disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin 25.8 million children and adults in the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649f305503460f94c4aa27/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
After diagnosis, there is a great need for
education.
A diabetic diet is no different from anyone else’s
but they must keep track of what they eat.
A food diary is a great start!
Serving sizes must be emphasized.
![Page 18: Jennifer Wagner Cayemberg, MS, RD, LDN. A disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin 25.8 million children and adults in the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649f305503460f94c4aa27/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Match insulin to food intake.
Type I’s are encouraged to be precise and regular
from day to day with food intake, insulin regimen,
and activity.
![Page 19: Jennifer Wagner Cayemberg, MS, RD, LDN. A disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin 25.8 million children and adults in the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649f305503460f94c4aa27/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Increases flexibility, muscular
strength , and well being.
Must monitor insulin and food
intake to match exercise
regimen.
Increases insulin effectiveness
and sensitivity in the body.
![Page 20: Jennifer Wagner Cayemberg, MS, RD, LDN. A disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin 25.8 million children and adults in the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649f305503460f94c4aa27/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Achieve normal or near normal blood glucose
levels.
Provide adequate calories for reasonable body
weight.
Prevent, delay or treat nutrition
related complications.
Improve health through optimal nutrition.
![Page 21: Jennifer Wagner Cayemberg, MS, RD, LDN. A disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin 25.8 million children and adults in the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649f305503460f94c4aa27/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Especially beneficial in
type 2 diabetes.
Promotes weight loss
Increases insulin
sensitivity.
Must also be aware of
medication and intake to
prevent hypoglycemia.
![Page 22: Jennifer Wagner Cayemberg, MS, RD, LDN. A disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin 25.8 million children and adults in the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649f305503460f94c4aa27/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Diet plays a major role.
Carbohydrates are the component of food that
causes an increase in blood sugar.
Diabetics are encouraged to keep track of the
amount of CHO they eat.
![Page 23: Jennifer Wagner Cayemberg, MS, RD, LDN. A disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin 25.8 million children and adults in the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649f305503460f94c4aa27/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
There are many new methods of controlling diabetes,
these are still the two most common.
Exchange Lists
Carbohydrate counting: basic, allows a little more
freedom and variety; eat at the same time everyday ,
at least within 1 hour of regular time.
◦ Eat about the same amount of carbohydrate with each
meal and snack.
![Page 24: Jennifer Wagner Cayemberg, MS, RD, LDN. A disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin 25.8 million children and adults in the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649f305503460f94c4aa27/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
All diabetics must keep track of blood
glucose levels.
This is the only way to know if the treatment is effective.
Gives the diabetic a good indication of what affects their
blood sugar level.
Must check at least 2 times a day and four times a day
for at least 3 days a week.
![Page 25: Jennifer Wagner Cayemberg, MS, RD, LDN. A disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin 25.8 million children and adults in the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649f305503460f94c4aa27/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
A good indicator of blood glucose control.
Gives a % that indicates control over the
preceding 2-3 months.
Performed 2 times a year.
A hemoglobin of 6% indicates good control and
level >8% indicates action is needed.

Type 1 and sometimes Type 2 patients need to be
treated with insulin.
There are more than 20 types.
They differ in how they are made, how they work
in the body and their cost.
![Page 28: Jennifer Wagner Cayemberg, MS, RD, LDN. A disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin 25.8 million children and adults in the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649f305503460f94c4aa27/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Used to treat Type 2 diabetics. There are four basic types:
Sulfonylurea: stimulates the body to make more insulin.
Metformin: lowers blood sugar by helping the insulin work better
Thiazolidinediones: increases muscle sensitivity to insulin.
Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors: slow the process of carbohydrate digestion.
![Page 29: Jennifer Wagner Cayemberg, MS, RD, LDN. A disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin 25.8 million children and adults in the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649f305503460f94c4aa27/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Main goal is to normalize blood sugar.
Realistic goals for diabetics are 70-140 mg/dl
before meals, <180 mg/dl after and a glycosolated
hemoglobin within 1% of normal.
Need good blood glucose control to avoid
complications.
![Page 30: Jennifer Wagner Cayemberg, MS, RD, LDN. A disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin 25.8 million children and adults in the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649f305503460f94c4aa27/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure, nontraumatic lower limb amputations, and new cases of blindness among adults; 7th leading cause of death in U.S.
◦Blindness: caused by diabetic retinopathy.
◦Kidney Disease: diabetic nephropathy
◦Heart Disease and Stroke
◦Nerve disease and amputationsCenters for Disease Control and Prevention. National diabetes fact sheet: national estimates and

Control weight Eat a healthy well-balanced diet. Get regular exercise Have regular checkups Check feet everyday for cuts and
blisters Do not smoke! Keep blood sugar, BP, lipids
normal Avoid the 2 common diabetic
problems:hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia
![Page 32: Jennifer Wagner Cayemberg, MS, RD, LDN. A disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin 25.8 million children and adults in the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649f305503460f94c4aa27/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Hypoglycemia: low blood sugar
Symptoms include shakiness, dizziness, sweating,
hunger, headache, pale skin, sudden moodiness,
clumsy or jerky movements, difficulty paying
attention, and tingling sensations around mouth.
![Page 33: Jennifer Wagner Cayemberg, MS, RD, LDN. A disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin 25.8 million children and adults in the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649f305503460f94c4aa27/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
How to treat Hypoglycemia:
◦ Quickest way to raise blood glucose is with some form of sugar.
◦ 3 glucose tablets, 1/2 cup of fruit juice, 5-6 pieces of candy.
◦ Wait 15 minutes and test blood sugar again. If still low
repeat.
If hypoglycemia goes untreated, patient could get worse
and pass out!
Stress the importance of a night time snack in older
patients.
![Page 34: Jennifer Wagner Cayemberg, MS, RD, LDN. A disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin 25.8 million children and adults in the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649f305503460f94c4aa27/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Ketoacidosis: Develops when the body does not have
enough insulin. The body can’t break down sugar so it
breaks down fat instead. Ketones build up in blood & urine.
Body does not tolerate ketones in high levels (poisonous).
Acidosis can lead to fluid buildup in brain, heart attack,
death of bowel tissue, kidney failure, severe illness or death.
![Page 35: Jennifer Wagner Cayemberg, MS, RD, LDN. A disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin 25.8 million children and adults in the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649f305503460f94c4aa27/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Symptoms that may result in
ketoacidosis occur when:
◦ Too little insulin has been ejected or insulin is not
effective.
◦ Consumed more food and/or exercised less than
expected.
◦ High blood sugar, high levels of sugar in the urine,
frequent urination, and increased thirst
![Page 36: Jennifer Wagner Cayemberg, MS, RD, LDN. A disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin 25.8 million children and adults in the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649f305503460f94c4aa27/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Usually can lower it by exercising, or injecting
more insulin, be careful of the somogyi effect.
The somogyi effect is the condition of
hypoglycemia resulting from the treatment of
hyperglycemia.
![Page 37: Jennifer Wagner Cayemberg, MS, RD, LDN. A disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin 25.8 million children and adults in the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649f305503460f94c4aa27/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Be aware of risk factors and symptoms of
diabetes.
Prevention is key with changes in lifestyle.
