Glucose is the primary source of energy for the body. It is transported by the blood, and its
entry into the cells is controlled by insulin
Insulin: is a Hormone Secreted by the beta cells of the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas
gland. With each meal, beta cells release insulin to help the body use or store the blood glucose it
gets from food.
Stimulus of insulin: hyperglycemia
Action of insulin: it promotes entry of glucose into the body cells by binding to the insulin
receptor in the cell membrane.
When there is inadequate production of insulin or the body is unable to use the insulin it
produces, glucose cannot enter the cells and it accumulates in the blood, creating hyperglycemia
Diabetes mellitus: is A group of metabolic disease characterizes by elevated levels of
glucose in blood resulting from defect in insulin secretions , insulin action , insulin receptors or
any combination of conditions.
OR it is a Chronic disorder of impaired glucose metabolism , protein and fat metabolism.
In Egypt, the highest incidence of diabetes cases as up to 11 per cent of its population has been
diagnosed with the disease, according to a specialized medical study. It is predicted that the
diabetes cases may double by 2025

Classification of DM:
Classification
Distinguishing Characteristics’
Type 1 DM
(IDDM)
Affected persons are usually children and young adults, although it can occur at
any age
Dependent on exogenous insulin to prevent ketoacidosis and death.
Type 1 diabetes accounts for 5% to l0% of all diagnosed cases of diabetes.
Type 2 DM
(NIDDM)
Affected persons are often older than 30 year at diagnosis, although it is now
occurring frequently in young adults and children.
The disease is slowly progressive , and treatrnent necessary to control
hyperglycemia varies over time.
Individuals are not dependent on exogenous insulin for survival but often
require it for adequate glycemic control.
Complications of diabetes may be present at diagnosis
Gestational DM Diabetes diagnosed in some women during pregnancy
Other specific
types
Diabetes that results from specific genetic syndromes, surgery drugs,
malnutrition, infections, or other illnesses
Pre-diabetes Fasting or glucose tolerance test results above normal, but not diagnostic of
diabetes( impaired Glucose Tolerance ). These persons should be monitored
closely because they have an increased risk of developing diabetes.
I-Type 1 DM : characterized by destruction of the pancreatic beta cells caused by :
a- Genetic susceptibility
b- Autoimmune response
c- Toxins , unidentified viruses and environmental factors
Signs and symptoms: Classic P ‘s: 1. Polyuria
2. Polydipsia
3. Polyphagia
II-Type 2 DM characterized by insulin resistance and impaired Insulin production.
Signs and symptoms
1. Any of the type 1 symptoms
2. Frequent infections
3. Blurred vision
4. Cuts/bruises that are slow to heal
5. Tingling/numbness in the hands/feet
6. Recurring skin, gum, or bladder infections
4
III Gestational Diabetes :
Any degree of glucose intolerance with it is onset during pregnancy
Usually detected between 24-28th
week gestation .Blood glucose return to normal after delivery
of infant .
Assessment finding:
Diagnostic tests: (FBS, RBS HgbA1c, Lipid profile ECG and urine analysis)
HgbA1C : ≥6.5% (it measures average blood glucose levels over several months (120
days). The test measures the percentage of glycated hemoglobin, or A1C, in the blood and
provides an assessment of blood sugar levels over the previous two to three months.
Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) ≥126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L) fasting -- for eight
hours -. No caloric intake for at least 8 hours
2-hour plasma glucose test ≥200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) during an OGTT
should be performed as described by the World Health Organization (WHO), (After
fasting for eight hours, a person is given glucose load containing the equivalent of 75 g
anhydrous glucose dissolved in water sugary drink. That person is said to have diabetes if
two hours after the drink he or she has a sugar level higher than 200.) (oral glucose
tolerance or post prandial test )
The Random plasma glucose test: ≥200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L), in patients with
classic symptoms of hyperglycemia or hyperglycemic crisis
Risk factor for diabetes :

Complication of diabetes mellitus:
The long–term effects of diabetes mellitus include progressive development of the
specific complications of:
1. Retinopathy with potential blindness,
2. Nephropathy that may lead to renal failure
3. Neuropathy with risk of foot ulcers, amputation, Charcot joints
4. Features of autonomic dysfunction, including sexual dysfunction.
5. People with diabetes are at increased risk of cardiovascular, peripheral vascular and
cerebrovascular disease.
Short term complication :
Alterations in blood sugars: hyperglycaemia ,hypoglycaemia, and Diabetes ketoacidosis
(DKA)
Also can be categorized : Macro circulations complication (large blood
vessels) and Microcirculation (small blood vessels)
Management of DM
1- Nutritional modification
2- Regular glucose monitoring
3-Drug therapy ( oral and insulin )
4- Client education ( nutritional requirement, exercise, treatment , frequent follow up, foot care
,complication)
Nutritional management :
Goals of nutritional management :
Medical nutrition therapy for people with diabetes should be individualized, with consideration
given to the individual’s usual food and eating habits, metabolic profile, treatment goals, and
desired outcomes. Monitoring of metabolic parameters, including glucose, HbA1c, lipids, blood
pressure, body weight, and renal function, when appropriate, as well as quality of life, is essential
to assess the need for changes in therapy and to ensure successful outcomes. Ongoing nutrition
self-management education and care needs to be available for individuals with diabetes.
6
The goals of nutritional management for people with diabetes or pre-diabetes
(those with impaired fasting glycaemia or impaired glucose tolerance) are:
Achievement and maintenance of blood glucose levels and blood pressure levels that is as
close to normal as possible.
Achievement and maintenance of a lipid profile that reduces cardiovascular risk.
Delaying or preventing diabetic complications.
Achievement and maintenance of healthy body weight goals with an emphasis on regular
and consistent physical activity as appropriate.
Addressing individual nutritional needs taking into account personal, maintaining the
pleasure of eating and cultural preferences.
Goals of medical nutrition therapy that apply to specific situations include the
following:
1. For youth with type 1 diabetes, to provide adequate energy to ensure normal growth and
development, integrate insulin regimens into usual eating and physical activity habits.
2. For youth with type 2 diabetes, to facilitate changes in eating and physical activity habits
that reduce insulin resistance and improve metabolic status.
3. For pregnant and lactating women, to provide adequate energy and nutrients needed for
optimal outcomes.
4. For older adults, to provide for the nutritional and psychosocial needs of an aging
individual.
5. For individuals treated with insulin or insulin secretagogues, to provide self-management
education for treatment (and prevention) of hypoglycemia, acute illnesses, and exercise-
related blood glucose problems.
6. For individuals at risk for diabetes, to decrease risk by encouraging physical activity and
promoting food choices that facilitate moderate weight loss or at least prevent weight
gain.

Dietary recommendation :
Using the assessment data and food and nutrition history information, a preliminary food
and meal plan can then be designed . Developing a food and meal plan does not begin with
a set calorie or macronutrient prescription; instead, it is determined by modifying the
patient's usual food intake as necessary.
General dietary considerations:
Carbohydrates and sweeteners : usually given as 50%-60% of total intake. Foods
containing carbohydrate should be complex, containing high amount from of soluble
fibers and insoluble as whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and low-fat milk should be
included in a healthy diet. High fiber intake appears to reduce the amount of insulin
needed because it lowers blood glucose. It also appears to lower the blood cholesterol and
triglyceride levels.
With regard to the glycemic effects of carbohydrates, the total amount of carbohydrate in
meals or snacks is more important than the source or type.
Sucrose and sucrose-containing foods should be eaten in the context of a healthy diet
Individuals receiving intensive insulin therapy should adjust their pre meal insulin doses
based on the carbohydrate content of meals.
Sweeteners: Nutritive sweeteners, sorbitol and fructose are particularly useful in baking. They
contain as many calories as sucrose and their total intake should not therefore exceed the daily
requirement .
Non-nutritive sweeteners are safe when consumed within the acceptable daily intake
levels established by the Food and Drug Administration (as saccharin, aspartame)
Protein intake accounts for 15–20% of average energy intake, is fairly consistent across
all ages from infancy to older age, and appears to be similar in persons. Derived from
both animal and vegetable sources.
Fat intake: Should be from < 30% of average energy intake in healthy weight and
normal lipid level. The Intake of trans unsaturated fatty acids should be minimized and
saturated fat intake should not exceed 10% of total energy. Cholesterol consumption
should be restricted and limited to 300 mg or less daily. Generally, Total fat intake
should be restricted because diabetic patient have 2-4 times greater risk for IHD
(ischemic heart disease )
8
Excessive salt intake is to be avoided. It should be particularly restricted in people with
hypertension and those with nephropathy.
Persons with diabetes should be educated about the importance of consuming adequate
amounts of vitamins and minerals from natural food sources as well as the potential
toxicity of mega doses of vitamin and mineral supplements. Select populations, such as
the elderly, pregnant or lactating women, strict vegetarians, and those on calorie-restricted
diets, may benefit from supplementation with a multivitamin preparation.
General dietary considerations:
Meal planning Assessment of dietary intake.1.
2. Meals and food intake should be planned in relation to economic factors,
availability, cultural and social value.
3. Dietary counseling should be a continuing process to be reinforced during
each visit by all members of the health team.
Consistency of food timing and energy intake from day to day should be 4.
emphasized especially by those taken insulin.
Determination of energy intake is done individually according to age , sex , activity
monitoring height and weight to adjust energy intake
Dietary care plane estimated by the following steps:
A. Calculate ideal body weight = height – 100.
B. Calculate the daily calories requirements= ideal body weight× level of activity.
C. Divided the calories requirement among meals per day.
The total daily caloric requirement should be determined according to activity level:
Activity level Calories requirements
1. Bed rest 25-30 Kcal/kg
2. Light exercise ( house, office) 30-35 Kcal/kg
3. Moderate exercise ( industrial, heavily house work) 35-40 Kcal/kg
4. Heavy exercise (construction work, farm work) 40-45 Kcal/kg

Example :
Weight of diabetic patient was 80 kg and her height was 160 cm she work as
Liberian. Her fasting blood sugar was 200 mg/dL. Calculate the daily caloric
requirement for her.
1-Ideal body weight ( desirable ) = 160 – 100= 60
2-Daily caloric requirement =60× 35= 2100 cal /day
3- breakfast = 2100×20 /100= 420 cal
Amount of CHO. In breakfast = 420 × 50/100 = 210cal
To transfer to gram = 210/4= 52 gm CHO in breakfast and so on for the rest of
meal time ( lunch , dinner , 3 or 2 snacks) and for the rest of macronutrients ( fat

What is the Glycaemic Index?
Different carbohydrate foods have different effects on blood glucose levels.
The Glycaemic Index (GI) ranks food on a scale from 0 - 100 according to the effect they have on
blood glucose levels. Foods with an index number of 70 or more are considered to be high GI,
with an index number between 55-70 as medium GI, and 55 or less as low GI.
Foods with a high GI are those that are rapidly digested and absorbed, resulting in a rapid peak in
blood glucose levels. This is not ideal for people with diabetes, who try to keep their blood
glucose levels fairly stable, without rapid changes in level (peaks or troughs). By contrast, low GI
foods, provided they are also low in fat, are best for controlling diabetes. This is because they
produce a gradual rise in blood glucose and insulin levels because of their slow digestion,
absorption and gradual release of glucose into the bloodstream. This avoids rapid peaks and
troughs.
How can the Glycaemic Index help people with diabetes?
There is evidence that a low GI diet can help control established diabetes, help people to lose
weight and lower blood lipids (fats), and improve the body’s sensitivity to insulin by keeping
blood glucose levels more stable than when high GI foods are consumed.
How do I use the Glycaemic Index?
It’s important to remember that the GI alone should not be your only criteria when selecting what
to eat. The total amount of carbohydrate, the amount and type of fat, and the fibre and salt content
of food are also very important.
Most importantly, you need to watch for fat content as well as the GI. Why? Because foods high
in fat often have a low GI (fat has been shown to slow digestion). However, a high fat diet is not
recommended for overweight people or people with diabetes.
5 simple ways to change to a low GI diet
1. Include one low GI food at each meal
2. Switch to breakfast cereals based on barley, oats (such as porridge), wheat and rice bran
3. Eat grainy breads made with whole seeds, barley and oats, and pumpernickel instead of
white or brown bread
4. Eat pulses and legumes (such as beans, lentils and peas)
5. Eat high fibre foods because it helps slow the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates
For more information on the Glycaemic Index and GI values please refer to the University of
Sydney’s GI website: www.glycemicindex.com

Both the glycemic index and the glycemic load rankings refer to carbohydrates. When
carbohydrates are digested, sugar enters the bloodstream. The glycemic index ranks how quickly
sugar (glucose) enters the bloodstream after a particular carbohydrate is eaten.
Here is why it is significant:
• If blood sugar rises too quickly, your brain signals your body to secrete a greater amount of
insulin.
• Insulin helps bring sugar out of the bloodstream, primarily by converting the excess sugar into
fat and storing it in your body.
• A greater rate of increase in blood sugar leads to a greater insulin release, more storage of fat
and then a drastic lowering of blood sugar levels. This is what leads to an energy rush followed
by lethargy and hunger after eating a candy bar.
• This is significant because excess insulin secretion can result in various ill health effects such as
fatigue, weight gain and, eventually, type 2 diabetes.
For ranking purposes, the glycemic index is divided into three categories: low, medium and high.
Food is categorized from low to high on a scale of 0 to 100, depending on its effect on blood
sugar levels. Foods that are lowest on the glycemic index have the slowest rate of glucose entry
into the bloodstream, and therefore have the lowest insulin response. The categories are:
• Low (up to 55)
• Medium (56 to 70)
• High (over 70)
Fibre, protein and fat all slow down the entry of glucose from a particular food into the
bloodstream. Most vegetables, beans and whole grains are full of fibre, which is reflected in
their lower glycemic index rating. For example:
• Green peas 48
• All-bran 38
However, processed foods (e.g., white flour) usually contain little to no fibre and therefore tend
to have a higher glycemic index rating. For example:
• Strawberry cupcake 73
• White bread 73
One limitation of the glycemic index is that it does not take into account how much sugar a
particular food contains -- it is only a reflection of how quickly the sugar is absorbed. For
example, the sugar in carrots is readily absorbed into the bloodstream and they are therefore
ranked high on the glycemic index (74). This has given carrots some undeserved bad press. Many
people decide to avoid carrots because they assume that because they are high on the glycemic
index they will cause them to gain weight. This is where the glycemic load of a particular food
becomes very useful.
15
The glycemic load takes into account not only how quickly a certain food is converted into sugar
in the body but also how much sugar (carbohydrate) a particular food contains.
The glycemic load categories are:
• Low (10 or less)
• Medium (11 to 19)
• High (20)
Your body's glycemic response depends on both the type of food eaten and the amount of
carbohydrate (sugar) calories consumed. The more concentrated a carbohydrate is, the more
sugar it dumps into your bloodstream. Although all of the sugar that is in the carrots is absorbed
into the bloodstream quickly (high glycemic index), there is not a lot of sugar to begin with (low
glycemic load). As you can imagine, the same amount of dense white pasta would have both a
high glycemic index and a high glycemic load.
This explains why even though carrots are high on the glycemic index, you are not likely to gain
weight eating them
The type of surgery that seems to work is gastric bypass, which shrinks the stomach considerably
and shortens the rest of the digestive system. Studies show the surgery cures diabetes in about 78
percent of patients, usually before weight loss occurs. No one has been sure why, but a hormone
called glucagon-like peptide-1, or GLP-1, has been suspected to play a role for about a decade.
In a person without diabetes, the stomach uses the hormone to warn the pancreas to make insulin
when there is an increase in sugar in the blood.
People with Type 2 diabetes have a defect in how the body responds to and produces insulin in
the pancreas. Increasing GLP-1 levels can help increase insulin production to levels where it can
control blood sugar, and gastric bypass seems to increase GLP-1 production.

Insulin : physiology
Insulin metabolic functions :
1- Transport and metabolizes glucose
2- Promote Glycogenesis
3- Promotes Glycolysis
4- Enhances lipogenesis
5- Accelerates Proteins synthesis
Pathphysiology : of type 1
Destruction of beta cell ---- decreased insulin production uncontrolled glucose
production by the liver --- hyperglycemia –--- sign and symptoms.
16
Pathophysiology : type 2
Decreased sensitivity of insulin receptor to insulin ---- less uptake of glucose ----
hyperglycemia
Decreased insulin production ----- diminished insulin action ---- hyperglycemia --- sign and
symptoms
NB: ( But + ) insulin in small amount ---- prevent breakdown of fats --- DKA is unusual
A1C
• Hemoglobin is a protein on red blood cells that carries oxygen in the blood. When blood
sugar is too high it combines with hemoglobin.
• The more excess glucose in the blood, the higher the percentage of A1C. Healthy adults
without diabetes or prediabetes have an A1C of about 5%. Diabetes patients with very
poorly controlled disease can have levels as high as 25%.
• Under the new recommendations, people with A1C levels between 5.7% and 6.4% will be
considered to have prediabetes and those with levels of 6.5% or higher will be considered
to have diabetes.
Gestational diabetes:
There are two approaches to testing for gestational diabetes:
In the one-step approach, a woman will fast for 4 to 8 hours. Then a health care provider
will measure her blood sugar and will do so again 2 hours after she drinks a sugar
drink. This type of test is called an oral glucose tolerance test.
In the two-step approach, a health care provider measures a woman’s blood sugar 1 hour
after drinking a sugar drink. Women whose blood sugar is normal after 1 hour probably
don’t have gestational diabetes. Women whose blood sugar is high after 1 hour will then
have an oral glucose tolerance test to see if they have gestational diabetes.
Will gestational diabetes affect the baby?
Most women who have gestational diabetes give birth to healthy babies, especially when they
control their blood sugar, eat a healthy diet, exercise, and keep a healthy weight.
In some cases, though, gestational diabetes can affect the pregnancy and baby. Some potential
risks include:
The baby’s body is larger than normal—called macrosomia. A large baby may need to
be delivered by a surgical procedure called cesarean section, instead of naturally through
the vagina.
The baby’s blood sugar is too low—called hypoglycemia. Starting to breastfeed right
away can help get more glucose to the baby. The baby may also need to get glucose
through a tube into his or her blood.
The baby’s skin turns yellowish and the whites of the eyes may change color—called
jaundice. This condition is easily treated and is not serious if treated.
17
The baby may have trouble breathing and need oxygen or other help—called Respiratory
Distress Syndrome.
The baby may have low mineral levels in the blood. This problem can causes muscle
twitching or cramping, but can be treated by giving the baby extra minerals
How is gestational diabetes treated?
Many women with gestational diabetes have healthy pregnancies and healthy babies because they
follow a treatment plan from their health care provider.
Each woman should have a specific plan designed just for her needs, but there are some general
ways to stay healthy with gestational diabetes:
Know your blood sugar and keep it under control – By testing how much sugar is in your
blood, it is easier to keep it in a healthy range. Women usually need to test a drop of their
blood several times a day to find out their blood sugar level.
Eat a healthy diet – Your health care provider can make a plan with the best diet for
you. Usually controlling carbohydrates is an important part of a healthy diet for women
with gestational diabetes because carbohydrates affect blood sugar.
Get regular, moderate physical activity – Exercise can help control blood sugar
levels. Your health care provider can tell you the best activities and right amount for you.
Keep a healthy weight – The amount of weight gain that is healthy for you will depend on
how much you weighed before pregnancy. It is important to track your both your overall
weight gain and weekly rate of gain.
Keep daily records of your diet, physical activity, and glucose level – Women with
gestational diabetes should write down their blood sugar numbers, physical activity, and
everything they eat and drink in a daily record book. This can help track how well the
treatment is working and what, if anything, needs to be changed.
Some women with gestational diabetes will also need to take insulin to help manage their
diabetes. The extra insulin can help lower their blood sugar level. Some women might also have
to test their urine to see if they are getting enough glucose.
What happens after the baby is born?
For most women, blood sugar levels go back to normal quickly after the baby is born. Six weeks
after the baby is born, you should have a blood test to check your blood sugar levels. The test
also checks for your risk of getting diabetes in the future.
If you know you want to get pregnant again, have a blood sugar test up to three months before
becoming pregnant to make sure your blood sugar level is normal.
Children whose mothers had gestational diabetes are at higher risk for obesity, abnormal glucose
tolerance, and diabetes.
Women who have had gestational diabetes and children whose mothers had gestational diabetes
are at higher lifetime risk for obesity and type 2 diabetes. It may be possible to prevent type 2
diabetes through lifestyle changes. Talk to your health care provider about diabetes and
increased risk from gestational diabetes.
18
In the past, people with diabetes were told to avoid sugar
Now known that complex carbohydrates and sugars have a similar effect on blood
glucose levels
The total amount of carbohydrate is the issue, not just sugar
People with diabetes can have sugar, but the carbohydrate from foods containing sugar
must be worked into the meal plan
Metabolic Actions of Insulin and Glucagon
Fatty acid uptake and
release in fat.
Insulin Stimulates synthesis of triglycerides (TG) from free fatty
acids (FFA); inhibits release of FFA from TG.
Glucagon Stimulates release of FFA from TG.
Liver glycogen
Insulin Increases synthesis and thereby glucose uptake and storage.
Glucagon Stimulates glycogenolysis and glucose release.
Liver gluconeogenesis
Insulin Inhibits, saves amino acids.
Glucagon Stimulates, glucose synthesized and released.
Glucose uptake, skeletal
muscle
Insulin Stimulates uptake, storage as glycogen and use in energy
metabolism.
Glucagon No receptors, no effect.
Glycogen, skeletal muscle
Insulin Stimulates synthesis.
Glucagon No receptors, no effect.
Amino acid uptake
Insulin Stimulates and is necessary for protein synthesis.
Glucagon No receptors, no effect.
Brain (hypothalamus)
Insulin Reduces hunger through hypothalamic regulation.
Glucagon No effect.
19
Using Insulin-to-Carb Ratio
Example: 1:10 Ratio
1 unit of insulin to be given per 10 gms carbohydrate eaten
60 gm meal / 10 gms = 6 units of insulin needed
• carbohydrates to consume at meals and snacks
• A general guideline for patients is 45–60 g/meal and 15–30 g/snack
Example Meal Plan:
Meal 225 g 15
Carbohydrate Carbohydrate Choices
Breakfast 45 g 3
Lunch 60 g 4
Snack 15 g 1
Dinner 75 g 5
Evening Snack 30 g 2
Complications of Diabetes
A. Alterations in blood sugars: hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia

• 1. Atherosclerosis occurs more frequently, earlier in diabetics
• 2. Involves coronary, peripheral, and cerebral arteries
C. Microcirculation (small blood vessels)
• 1. Affects basement membrane of small blood vessels and capillaries
• 2. Involves tissues affecting eyes and kidneys
