Diabetes &Risk Factors

Multiple risk factors of diabetes mellitus

Delayed Diagnosis until micro & macro

Vascular complications arise

The prevalence of Type 2 DM has been increasing exponentially .

Type 1 diabetes is insulin dependent diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes the most common type

Accounts for 90--–95% of all diabetics patients

Expected to 439 million by 2030

               

       Diabetics Risk Factors

1)Genetic component 

Higher concordance rates are found in mono

Zygotic 96%

40% of first degree relatives of T2DM patients

Type 2 diabetes patients may develop diabetes

Where as only 6% incident rate found in the general population .

2) Lifestyle factor correlation

    Sedentary life style

    Physical inactivity

    Smoking

    Alcohol consumption

    Obesity : most important risk factor

    For T2DM which may influence the 

    Development of insulin resistance

   And disease progression.

    Nearly 90% of diabetic patients

    Develop T2DM mostly relating  to excess

    Body weight obesity is strongly inherited.

    Diet : Modifiable  risk factors for T2DM

    Low fiber diet with a higher risk of T2DM

    Frequent consumption of processed meat

    But not other meats.May increase risk

    Of T2DM .

    Soft drinks increases risk of T2DM

     Vitamin D may have a potential role

     In the control of DM 

      Complications : 

         1 Microvascular disease (

            Hypertension 

      

          Hyperlipidemia 

          Heart attacks

           Coronary Artery Disease

           Strokes

            Cerebral vascular Disease

             Peripheral vascular Disease)

        2.       Microvascular Disease

                  ( Retinopathy

                   Nephropathy

                    Neuropathy)
