2. INTRODUCTION
• Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by common feature of
hyperglycemia with disturbance of carbohydrate , fat and protein metabolism.
• Depending on the cause, it may be broadly classified into two main categories
• 1. TYPE 1
2. TYPE 2
3. GESTATIONAL
4. SECONDARY
Classification and Diagnosis of Diabetes: Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes—2019– ADA,

5. RISK FACTORS

6. SYMPTOMS

7. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
• INSULIN SECRETION:
Preproinsulin (86 aa)
proteolysis R. Endoplasmic reticulum
Proinsulin
further clevage
Insulin Golgi apparatus
(21aa) A chain B chain (30 aa)
C peptide
• C peptide – less succeptable to degradation in liver
• C peptide is used as a marker to distinguish the externally administered insulin and endogenously
secreted insulin

9. • TYPE I DM:
1. Genetic Factor - HLA DR 3& 4
(Short arm of Ch 06 (HLA DR3 -5 fold risk & HLA DR4 7 fold risk)
(Human Leukocyte Antigen)
2. Auto Immunity
(Auto T cells and Bcells, islet cell antibodies – 90% 1 year before
Cytokines – beta cell destruction)
3. Environmental Factors
(race, ethnicity, hybrid foods, polluted water, soil)

10. • GLUT 4 – skeletal muscles, adipose
• GLUT 2 – beta , liver cells
• GLUT 1 – all cells, especially brain.

11. CRITERIA FOR DIAGNOSIS (ADA)

12. DIAGNOSIS
• HbA1C
• FBS
• PPBS
• RBS
• Urine Analysis
• HOMA-IR index
HOMA IR calculated with FBS and Insulin level (0.5 – 1.4)
Low level – high sensitivity
High level – low sensitivity (resistance)

13. COMPLICATIONS

14. INTEGTARED APPROACH

15. • CONVENTIONAL
MANAGEMENT

16. • GIP - they slow the rate of absorption of
nutrients into the blood stream by reducing
gastric emptying and may directly reduce
food intake.

17. • INCRETINS
• Incretins are a group of metabolic hormones that stimulate a decrease in blood glucose levels by
stimulating the insulin secretion.
• Some incretins (GLP-1) also inhibit glucagon release from the alpha cells of the islets of Langerhans.

18. • SGLT 2 INHIBITORS • AFREZZA

19. • BCG VACCINE
BCG vaccine- body’s reg T cells are increased thereby decreasing the auto T cells. TNF is also increased, HbA1C
reduced.

20. • STEM CELL THERAPY • TRANSPLANTATION

21. RECENT ADVANCEMENTS
• INSULIN PUMP • BARIATRIC SURGERY

22. • NATUROPATHIC
MANAGEMENT

23. HYDROTHERAPY

type 2 diabetes mellitus: a pilot
study
A Mooventhan,
Diabetes and
Metabolism , 2019
• Doubling the metabolic rate
• TRPM8 (transient receptor potential melastatin
8) activation is associated with ‘browning’ of
white adipose tissue and acceleration of energy
utilization.
• CHBs are reported to promote parasympathetic
activation which, in turn, is known to promote
insulin secretion.
• exposure to cold (14–15℃) induces a 43%
increase in insulin sensitivity

patients and this effect is maintained for
longer duration when compared to control.

COLD HIP BATH:
It excites the contraction of muscular
structures of viscera including, liver,
pancreas, bladder.. and thus helps to
improve their function.
MASSAGE:
The stress regulatory mechanism of
massage might be attributed to control of
stress hormone, permitting the body to use
insulin more effectively
MUD THERAPY:
The mud application to abdomen increases
the peripheral circulation, metabolic rate
and helps to reduce blood glucose levels.

26. MASSAGE
TITLE AUTHOR CONCLUSION
Tactile massage improves glycaemic
control in women with type 2 diabetes: a
pilot study
Andersson,
Pract Diab Int, 2004
There is a significant B-HbA1c reduction,
The possible mechanism might be the influence of tactile
massage on hypothalamo pituitary- adrenal axis, can
produce endocrine disturbances with consequent effects
on glucose metabolism.

TITLE AUTHOR CONCLUSION
The effect of electric field, magnetic
field, and infrared ray combination
to reduce HOMA-IR index and GLUT
4 in diabetic model of Mus
musculus.
Warani D, Husen S A
Lasers Medical Science ,
2019
Combined treatment of electric field, magnetic
field, and infrared ray have potential to reduce
insulin resistance due to improving blood
circulation and increasing intracellular Ca2+
level.
There is a significant reduction in fasting blood
glucose level and HOMA-IR index
(Insulin resistance can be quantified from high
number of HOMA-IR index and observed from
glucose transporter 4 (GLUT-4) translocation
on membrane of skeletal muscle cells.)
