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
