Discussion: Diabetes and Drug Treatments

Each year, 1.5 million Americans are diagnosed with diabetes (American Diabetes Association, 2019). If left untreated, diabetic patients are at risk for several alterations, including heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, neuropathy, and blindness. There are various methods for treating diabetes, many of which include some form of drug therapy. The type of diabetes as well as the patient’s behavior factors will impact treatment recommendations.

For this Discussion, you compare types of diabetes, including drug treatments for type 1, type 2, gestational, and juvenile diabetes.


To Prepare

· Review the Resources for this module and reflect on differences between types of diabetes, including type 1, type 2, gestational, and juvenile diabetes.

· Select one type of diabetes to focus on for this Discussion.

· Consider one type of drug used to treat the type of diabetes you selected, including proper preparation and administration of this drug. Then, reflect on dietary considerations related to treatment.

· Think about the short-term and long-term impact of the diabetes you selected on patients, including effects of drug treatments.


Discussion Week 5 – Instructions

1. Post a brief explanation of the differences between the types of diabetes, including type 1, type 2, gestational, and juvenile diabetes.

2. Select one type of diabetes to focus on for this Discussion. Describe one type of drug used to treat the type of diabetes you selected, including proper preparation and administration of this drug.

3. Include dietary considerations related to treatment.

4. Then, explain the short-term and long-term impact of this type of diabetes on patients. including effects of drug treatments.

5. Be specific and provide examples.

6. At least 5 references

            Essentially, diabetes is a disorder of carbohydrate metabolism (Rosenthal, L. D., & Burchum, J. R., 2018). Symptoms of diabetes are caused by cellular insulin resistance, or a deficiency of insulin and the primary sign of diabetes is sustained hyperglycemia due to increased glucose production and impaired glucose uptake (Rosenthal, L. D., & Burchum, J. R., 2018).

Based on etiology and clinical presentations, diabetes is broadly classified into three types, type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and gestational diabetes (GDM). Monogenic diabetes and secondary diabetes are other types of diabetes, but are less common (Goyal, R., & Jialal, I., 2021).

 

Brief explanation of the differences between Types of Diabetes Mellitus

            Type 1 diabetes was previously called juvenile diabetes (because it was thought to develop only in juveniles) or insulin-dependent diabetes (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention., 2021). Type 1 diabetes can develop at any age in life, but it is mostly diagnosed in childhood or adolescence stage of life (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention., 2021). Type 1 diabetes characterized by autoimmune destruction of beta cells in the islets of the pancreas which are responsible for producing insulin (Goyal, R., & Jialal, I., 2021). The result is absolute deficiency of insulin (Goyal, R., & Jialal, I., 2021). The autoimmune activities are thought to be triggered by genetic and environmental factors (Goyal, R., & Jialal, I., 2021).

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a life-threatening complication of diabetes most common with type 1 diabetes, where in the absence of insulin to provide the cells with sugar, the body breaks down fat for energy and the by-product of ketone bodies (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention., 2021).

 

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

            Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) accounts for 90% to 95% of diagnosed cases of diabetes (Rosenthal, L. D., & Burchum, J. R., 2018). Unlike type 1, T2DM are capable of producing insulin, but just not enough. T2DM is more frequently diagnose in middle age and progresses gradually (Rosenthal, L. D., & Burchum, J. R., 2018). But essentially, the symptoms of T2DM are primarily from combination of insulin resistance and impaired insul

As many of us know, diabetes is an endocrine disorder that affects millions of Americans. There are several types of diabetes, and it is vital to understand the differences in pathophysiology to distinguish between each type. In Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (DM I), onset is usually early and gradual. On a physiological level, beta cells are defective or insufficient. Beta cells are located in the pancreas and are responsible for producing insulin. Therefore, in DM I, insulin levels are low. It is also important to note that DM I was formerly called juvenile-onset diabetes. However, this implies that it is strictly children who are affected in DM I. In Type II Diabetes (DM II), the affected people are usually over 40 years of age, but it is becoming more common in children. Hence, juvenile-onset is no longer the term used to describe DM I as it affects both primary forms of diabetes (Rosenthal & Burchum, p. 397, 2021). Lastly, gestational diabetes is a form of diabetes that occurs commonly during pregnancy and terminates at the end of gestation. In this type, hyperglycemia is caused by several factors. Mainly, insulin resistance is due to the placenta releasing hormones that inhibit insulin action. Second, the production of cortisol, a glucocorticoid, is increased during pregnancy. This contributes to hyperglycemia (McCance & Huether, 2019). It is essential to note that glucose passes freely between the mother and the fetus, so when glucose levels are high in the fetal circulation, the fetus will release more insulin.

Rosenthal & Burchum (2021) explain that the hallmark for blood glucose treatment in gestational diabetes requires regular monitoring of glucose levels. Glucose levels should be managed with diet (limiting fat intake, eating fruits and vegetables), physical exercise, weight control, and insulin subcutaneously. Metformin, an oral medication, can be used to treat glucose as well. Metformin is the only exception to PO agents. Any other oral medication <
