Preface
Thank God we prayed to Allah SWT who has given grace and His gift to us so
we managed to finish the paper on time alhamdulillah titled Nursing care of
diabetes mellitus
This paper contains information about milletus diabetes, complications,
pahtofisiologi, how to cope and ways of treatment. Expected that this paper can
give us all the information about this hereditary disease.
We realize that this paper is far from perfect, therefore criticism and suggestions
from all stakeholders that are built for the perfection we always hoped this paper.
Finally, we say thank you to all those who have participated in the preparation of
this paper from beginning to end. May Allah always be pleased with all our
efforts. amen

Type 2 diabetes (previously referred to as non insulin dependent diabetes mellitus) ranges
from those with predominant insulin resistance associated with relative insulin deficiency, to
those with a predominantly insulin secretory defect with insulin resistance
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF DIABETES
Insulin is secreted by beta cells, which are one of four types of cells in the islets of
Langerhans in the pancreas. Insulin is an anabolic, or storage, hormone. When a person eats a
meal, insulin secretion increases and moves glucose from the blood into muscle, liver, and fat
cells. In those cells, insulin:
• Transports and metabolizes glucose for energy
• Stimulates storage of glucose in the liver and muscle (in the form of glycogen)
• Signals the liver to stop the release of glucose
• Enhances storage of dietary fat in adipose tissue
• Accelerates transport of amino acids (derived from dietary protein) into cells
Insulin also inhibits the breakdown of stored glucose, protein, and fat. During fasting
periods (between meals and overnight), the pancreas continuously releases a small amount of
insulin (basal insulin); another pancreatic hormone called glucagon (secreted by the alpha
cells of the islets of Langerhans) is released when blood glucose levels decrease and stimulate
the liver to release stored glucose. The insulin and the glucagon together maintain a constant
level of glucose in the blood by stimulating the release of glucose from the liver. Initially, the
liver produces glucose through the breakdown of glycogen (glycogenolysis). After 8 to 12
hours without food, the liver forms glucose from the breakdown of noncarbohydrate
substances, including amino acids (gluconeogenesis).
Type 1 Diabetes
This form of diabetes is immune-mediated in over 90% of cases and idiopathic in less
than 10%. The rate of pancreatic B cell destruction is quite variable, being rapid in some
individuals and slow in others. Type 1 diabetes is usually associated with ketosis in its
untreated state. It occurs at any age but most commonly arises in children and young adults
with a peak incidence before school age and again at around puberty. It is a catabolic disorder
in which circulating insulin is virtually absent, plasma glucagon is elevated, and the
pancreatic B cells fail to respond to all insulinogenic stimuli. Exogenous insulin is therefore
required to reverse the catabolic state, prevent ketosis, reduce the hyperglucagonemia, and
reduce blood glucose.
Immune-mediated type 1 diabetes mellitus (type 1A)
Most patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus have circulating antibodies to islet cells
(ICA), insulin (IAA), glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD65), and tyrosine phosphatases (IA-
2 and IA2-) at the time the diagnosis is made. These antibodies facilitate screening for an
autoimmune cause of diabetes, particularly screening siblings of affected children, as well as
adults with atypical features of type 2 Diabetes). Antibody levels decline with increasing
duration of disease. Also, low levels of anti-insulin antibodies develop in almost all patients
once they are treated with insulin.
This theory is referred to as the hygiene hypothesis. None of these factors has so far
been confirmed as the culprit. Part of the difficulty is that autoimmune injury undoubtedly
starts many years before clinical diabetes mellitus develops.
Idiopathic type 1 diabetes mellitus (type 1B)
Less than 10% of subjects have no evidence of pancreatic B cell autoimmunity to
explain their insulinopenia and ketoacidosis. This subgroup has been classified as
“idiopathic type 1 diabetes” and designated as “type 1B.” Although only a minority of
patients with type 1 diabetes fall into this group, most of these are of Asian or African origin.
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
Clinical manifestations of all types of diabetes include the “three Ps”: polyuria,
polydipsia, and polyphagia. Polyuria (increased urination) and polydipsia (increased thirst)
occur as a result of the excess loss of fluid associated with osmotic diuresis. The patient also
experiences polyphagia (increased appetite) resulting from the catabolic state induced by
insulin deficiency and the breakdown of proteins and fats. Other symptoms include fatigue
and weakness, sudden vision changes, tingling or numbness in hands or feet, dry skin, skin
lesions or wounds that are slow to heal, and recurrent infections. The onset of type 1 Diabetes
may also be associated with sudden weight loss or nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pains, if
DKA has developed.
DIABETES MANAGEMENT
The main goal of diabetes treatment is to normalize insulin activity and blood glucose
levels to reduce the development of vascular and neuropathic complications.
Drugs for Treating Hyperglycemia
The drugs for treating type 2 diabetes fall into several categories:
1) Drugs that primarily stimulate insulin secretion by binding to the sulfonylurea receptor.
Sulfonylureas remain the most widely prescribed drugs for treating hyperglycemia. The
meglitinide analog repaglinide and the D-phenylalanine derivative nateglinide also bind the
sulfonylurea receptor and stimulate insulin secretion.
2) Drugs that alter insulin action: Metformin works in the liver. The thiazolidinediones
appear to have their main effect on skeletal muscle and adipose tissue.
3) Drugs that principally affect absorption of glucose: The glucosidase inhibitors acarbose
and miglitol are such currently available drugs.
4) Drugs that mimic incretin effect or prolong incretin action: Exenatide and DPP 1V
inhibitors fall into this category.
5) Other: Pramlintide lowers glucose by suppressing glucagon and slowing gastric emptying.
Insulin
Insulin is indicated for type 1 diabetes as well as for type 2 diabetic patients with
insulinopenia whose hyperglycemia does not respond to diet therapy either alone or
combined with other hypoglycemic drugs.
Therefore, the therapeutic goal for diabetes management is to achieve normal blood
glucose levels (euglycemia) without hypoglycemia and without seriously disrupting the
patient’s usual lifestyle and activity.
