One person in the world dying of diabetes every ten seconds.
There will be 2 new diabetic cases in the world being identified every 10sec.
In the national survey 54.1% of diabetes developed it in the most productive years of their lives
IDF predicts that diabetes will cost the world economy at least US$376 billion in 2010, or 11.6% of total world healthcare expenditure.

04/11/2023 18
Immune-mediated type 1 diabetes mellitus
Approximately one-third of the disease susceptibility is due to genes and two-thirds to environmental factors.
Genes that are related to the HLA locus
contribute about 40% of the genetic risk.
• About 95% of patients with type 1 diabetes possess either HLA-DR3 or HLA-DR4, compared with 45–50% of white controls.
![Page 19: Recent advance in diabetes mellitus ppt BIOCHEMISTRY](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061412/554b1a04b4c9055d098b4f36/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Immune-mediated type 1DM
Diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of autoimmune markers in patients with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes mellitus.
Sensitivity Specificity
Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD65) 70–90% 99%
Insulin (IAA) 40–70% 99%
Tyrosine phosphatase (IA-2) 50–70% 99%
Most patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus have circulating antibodies to islet cells (ICA), insulin (IAA), glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD65), and tyrosine phosphatases (IA-2 and IA2-β ) at the time the diagnosis is made.

04/11/2023 20
Idiopathic type 1 diabetes mellitus
• Less than 10% of subjects have no evidence of pancreatic β cell autoimmunity to explain their insulinopenia and ketoacidosis.
It was recently reported that about 4% of the West Africans with ketosis-prone diabetes are homozygous for a mutation in PAX-4 (Arg133Trp)—a gene that is essential for the development of pancreatic islets.

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Most patients are over 40 years of age and obese. Polyuria and polydipsia. Ketonuria and weight loss generally are uncommon at time of diagnosis. Candidal vaginitis in women may be an initial manifestation. Many patients have few or no symptoms. Hypertension, dyslipidemia, and atherosclerosis are often associated.

This is a very rare subtype of nonobese type 2 diabetes, with no more than ten families having been described.
Since affected individuals were heterozygous and possessed one normal insulin gene, diabetes was mild, did not appear until middle age, and showed autosomal dominant genetic transmission.

Insulin Resistance Syndrome (Syndrome X; Metabolic Syndrome)
Individuals are at much higher risk for developing type 2 diabetes than insulin-sensitive persons also elevated plasma triglycerides, lower high-density lipoproteins (HDLs), and higher blood pressure
Twenty-five percent of the general obese nondiabetic population has insulin resistance of a magnitude similar to that seen in type 2 diabetes.

A European research team has found a molecule, CXCL5, which makes obese people
develop diabetes.
Obese people have large amounts of the molecule CXCL5, produced by certain cells in fatty tissue
"The CXCL5 molecule helps cause insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes".
The finding has been published in the journal Cell Metabolism

Study authors write. "A high proportion of people with IA1c [impaired A1c] have abnormal glucose status requiring follow-up."
"HbA1c provides a practical alternative for screening [that] is more convenient and reproducible than is blood glucose.
"HbA1c <5.5% and >7.0% predicts absence or presence of Type 2 diabetes while at HbA1c 6.5-6.9%, diabetes is highly probable in clinical and population settings,"

PANCREATIC ISLET TRANSPLANTATION
In an experimental procedure called islet transplantation, islets are taken from the pancreas of a deceased organ donor.
The islets are purified, processed, and transferred into another person.
Once implanted, the beta cells in these islets begin to make and release insulin.
Researchers hope that islet transplantation will help people with type 1 diabetes live without daily injections of insulin.
