4. What is Diabetes?

5. What is Diabetes?
● Diabetes mellitus is a condition in
which the amount of glucose in the
blood is too high
● Hormone Insulin controls amount
of glucose in the blood
● Insulin is made in an organ called
the pancreas
● It can occur at any age but
incidence increases with age

6. Type 1 vs Type 2 Diabetes
Pancreas produces no insulin Insulin produced is not efficiently used

7. Less common types of diabetes:

9. Type 1 Diabetes - Management

10. Insulin: Hormone produced by the beta cells in the pancreas
● Body’s cells rely on insulin to take glucose from the
blood for energy
● People with type 1 diabetes will need to inject insulin
to compensate for their body’s lack of insulin
● Depending on their level of insulin resistance, people with type 2
diabetes may also need to take insulin injections to manage their blood
sugar levels
● Insulin is expensive!
* 6th most expensive liquid in the world

11. Tools used to manage Type 1 Diabetes:
Blood Glucose Meter

12. Newly Diagnosed- Julia’s footprint

13. Tools used to manage Type 1 Diabetes:

16. Hypoglycemia (Low BG)

17. Hypoglycemia (Low BG)
● What to do if one is experiencing hypoglycemia
○ Test blood sugar
○ Treat appropriately with a form of glucose (ex. juice) or
a glucagon injection
● Call 911 if not responsive
○ If blood sugar stays low for too long, starving the brain
of glucose, it may lead to seizures, coma, and even
death

18. Hyperglycemia (High BG)

19. Hyperglycemia (High BG)
● What to do if one is experiencing hyperglycemia
○ Test blood sugar
○ Treat appropriately with insulin
● Untreated hyperglycemia will lead to complications
○ Diabetic Keto-acidosis (DKA) when blood sugar rises
burning fat for energy and spilling ketones in the urine
○ DKA is dangerous
■ Untreated, it can lead to diabetic coma and is life
threatening
