This document discusses hypoglycemia in diabetes. It defines hypoglycemia and describes its prevalence, causes, and risk factors. It notes that hypoglycemia is more common in type 1 diabetes and with intensive diabetes control. The document outlines the symptoms of mild, moderate, and severe hypoglycemia and explains how the body normally protects against low blood sugar. However, in diabetes these protective mechanisms become impaired over time, increasing the risk of severe hypoglycemia. The document discusses hypoglycemia in the context of type 1 and type 2 diabetes and provides tips for prevention and management, including recognizing risk factors, treating the underlying cause, and adjusting medications and food intake. It focuses on strategies to prevent nocturnal hypoglycemia specifically

Diabetes Mellitus - An Integrated Approachpgahalya
This Slide contains information about Cause, Symptoms, Prevalence, Pathophysiology, Diagnosis, Complications and Management of Diabetes mellitus. It includes both Conventional and Naturopathic management.
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease, characterized by high glucose level in blood (hyperglycaemia).
Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM)
Juvenile-onset diabetes
Type1 diabetes is characterized by the presence of antibodies in blood.
Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase antigen (GAD)
Insulin autoantibodies (IAAs),
Islet cell autoantibodies (ICAs).
These are the markers of the immune destruction of the ß cell.
Therefore, those with more than one autoantibody(i.e., ICA, IAA, GAD etc.) are at high risk.
Type 2 diabetes - A 2016 update by Zeena NackerdienZeena Nackerdien
The International Diabetes Federation maintains that one in two adults are undiagnosed for diabetes and that estimates that one in eleven people had diabetes in 2015. If one takes into account that most of the cases involves the preventable condition of Type 2 diabetes, it comes as no surprise that many countries are being hit by staggering socioeconomic costs. Diabetes sites, chat rooms, aps, and ads for ever-evolving and increasingly complex disease management schemes are commonplace on Google. But what does all the information mean? The American Diabetes Association, American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, The Canadian Diabetes Association, WebMD, and the International Diabetes Federation resources served as the major resources for this accompanying slide deck that tries to unpack some of the major subtopics related to prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes. The slide deck is organized according to disease definition, epidemiology, etiology/pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. Particular topics such as the early use of insulin could be expanded into several separate slide decks narrating benefits and risks with supporting evidence. However, this deck is meant to provide interested readers with an overview of the Type 2 diabetes literature landscape, with the caveat that specific cases and Type 2 diabetes-related complications should always be discussed with a healthcare provider.

Professor Rinaldo Bellomo is an Intensivist at the Austin Hospital in Melbourne. He is Professor of Medicine at Melbourne University, and Honorary Professor of Medicine at Monash University, Melbourne and The University of Sydney.
He is one of the most eminent researchers in Intensive Care Medicine today and has been named one of the most influential scientific minds of our time.
In this thought-provoking talk Professor Bellomo discusses glycemic control of critically ill diabetic patients in the ICU.
Diabetes Mellitus is a group of disorders characterized by high levels of blood glucose in the body which is a result from the defects caused by insulin production, insulin action and sometimes both.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection
