3. Alpha cells: Glucagon
Beta Cells: Insulin
Delta Cells: Gastrin
Normal range of Blood glucose: 70 – 120
mg/dl (100 ml)
Hypoglycemia: < 70 mg/dl
Diabetes: > 120 mg/dl overnight fasting, 2-
3 hr after meal.

8. TYPES OF DIABETES
Type-I : deficiency of insulin (IDDM, Juvenile
onset DM). Type-IA: autoimmune disease of the
pancreatic cell. Type-IB is idiopathic
Type-II: inadequate insulin (Type II, NIDDM,
Maturity onset DM)
 Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM):
pregnancy and usually resolved during the
postpartum period.

11. Diabetic control
Blood from vein determines blood glucose
Value is on day to day basis
Glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA
IC
) in RBC is
directly proportional to glucose concentration
over a period of time
Life span of RBC is 120 days
6% = 110 mg/dL of blood glucose. Value more
than 8% shows poor control of diabetes.

13. Common Symptoms Of Hyperglycemia
Classical Symptoms
Polyphagia (frequently hungry)
Polyuria (frequently urinating)
Polydipsia (frequently thirsty)
Other symptoms
Blurred vision, fatigue, recurrent infections,

20. Determination of diabetic type
C-peptide
Insulin & C-peptide released in equal amounts
Type-1 diabetes little or no C-peptide
Type-2 diabetes typically normal or high.
C-peptide as biological marker
04/23/19 PATKI 20

21. Insulin administration
Being a protein, it is degraded in GIT, if
taken orally.
Generally administered by SC route
Onset and duration of activity vary among
different preparations
This is due to the size and composition of
insulin crystals
The less soluble an insulin is long acting
04/23/19 PATKI 21

22. TYPES OF INSULIN PREPARATIONS
Short Acting Insulin
Regular Insulin: Soluble clear solution for
I.V. equal to endogenous insulin
Severe hyperglycemia
Addition of zinc : Increased solubility,
stability and shelf life
Addition of protamine : Increased duration
of action

29. Reactions to insulin
Hypoglycemia: Overdose or failure to eat
or extensive exercise. sympathomimetic
signs are warning. Advise the patients to
carry sugar candy.
Lipodystrophy: Change the place of
injection or Newer insulins
Allergy: Use purified insulins

31. Newer Insulin
Older insulin: porcine/bovine - contaminants
1.purified by gel filtration
2.After gel filtration further purified by ion
exchange chromatography.
3.Human Insulins: Decombinant DNA
technology (E.coli).

Less allergic
More stable

Maximum effect: 4-6 hours (peakless)
Duration of action: 24 Hours (ultra long
acting)
Don’t mix with other insulin preparations in
the same syringe – it is acidic (pH 4)
Absorption pattern: independent of
anatomic site of injection
Less immunogenicity
6-7 fold greater binding than native insulin

41. Insulin syringes:
Prefilled insulin
syringes
Pen devices: Syringes resemble
pen, preset amount propelled
through a trigger
NEWER INSULIN DELIVERY DEVICES
04/23/19 PATKI 41

42. NEWER INSULIN DELIVERY DEVICES
Jet injectors: Insulin pumps:
Painless rapid Insulin is infused
delivery through at a calculated rate
needless device
Nasal insulin delivery
Rectal and subcutaneous pellets:
04/23/19 PATKI 42

43. DRUG INTERACTIONS
Beta adrenergic blockers suppress warning
signs
Thiazides, frusemide, corticosteroids, oral
contraceptives, salbutamol, calcium channel
blockers raise the blood sugar by inhibiting the
insulin secretion.
Alcohol precipitates hypoglycemia (depleting
breaking the glycogen)
Salicylates, lithium and theophylline enhance
insulin secretion and peripheral glucose
utilization resulting the hypoglycemia.

44. USES OF INSULIN
Infection and ketoacidosis: Short term
use
Long term use is advised in CVS, retinal,
renal, neurological conditions etc.
IDDM: compulsory use
NIDDM: it is advised
a.Failure of oral hypoglycaemic agents.
b.Temporary use in infection, trauma,
surgery, pregnancy.
04/23/19 PATKI 44

45. INSULIN RESISTANCE
Requirement of insulin: more than 200
U/day
May be due to antibodies production
Resistance should be in the absence of
ketoacidosis, Infection or stress.
Select more purified newer insulin
Oral hypoglycemic agents may be added
04/23/19 PATKI 45

46. Symptoms of Ketoacidosis
high blood sugar levels
frequent urination (polyuria) and thirst
fatigue and lethargy
nausea
vomiting
abdominal pain
fruity odor to breath
rapid, deep breathing
muscle stiffness or aching
coma
04/23/19 PATKI 46

47. Treatment of Ketoacidosis
Regular insulin by i.v.
i.v. fluids
KCl
Bicarbonate to correct acidosis
Phosphate (when required)
Antibiotics
04/23/19 PATKI 47

48. GLUCAGON
Alpha cells of islets of Langerhans
Hyperglycemic hormone
It is inactive orally
It is used in severe hypoglycemia
where glucose administration is
impossible.
It is also used as a diagnostic agent.
