On presentation RBS 24.9mmol/L, Ketones +++, B.P. 110/70mmHg
with severe dehydration. She has stopped taking her usual medicines

CONCLUSION
GENERAL OVERVIEW
Diabetes- 1°ly defined by the level of
hyperglycaemia giving rise
• to risk of microvascular damage (retinopathy,
nephropathy and neuropathy).
• reduced life expectancy, significant
morbidity due to specific diabetes related
microvascular complications,
• increased risk of macrovascular complications
(ischaemic heart disease, stroke and
peripheral vascular disease),
• diminished quality of life.
GENERAL OVERVIEW
Complications of uncontrolled diabetes
include kidney failure, neuropathy, heart
disease (DCM), stroke, periodontal disease,
impaired immune response, blindness,
hypertension, amputations, and sexual
dysfunction.
Abnormalities associated with diabetic
cardiomyopathy.
FA, fatty acid; LV, left ventricular

DIET THERAPY
ensuring weight control
providing nutritional requirements
allowing good glycaemic control with blood
glucose levels as close to normal as possible
correcting associated blood lipid abnormalities
ensuring consistency and compatibility with other
forms of treatment (e.g. oral agents or insulin).
DIET THERAPY
Dietary fat should provide 25-35% of total intake of calories
with saturated fat intake ≤ 10% of total energy. Cholesterol
consumption ≤300 mg/day.
Protein intake can range between 10-15% total energy (0.8-1
g/kg of desirable body weight).
Protein from both animal and vegetable sources.
Carbohydrates to provide 50-60% of total caloric content of
the diet.
Reduce salt intake esply if hpt and those with nephropathy
Moderate use of artificial sweeteners. Nutritive sweeteners
(sorbital and fructose) should be restricted.
Reduce intake of alcohol

Dyslipidemia/lipid management
No overt CVD, LDL target 100mg/dL (2.6mmol/L).
overt CVD, a LDL target 70 mg/dL (1.8 mmol/L),
If drug-treated patients do not reach the above
targets on maximal tolerated
statin therapy, a reduction in LDL cholesterol
of ;30–40% from baseline is an alternative
therapeutic goal.
Triglycerides levels ,150 mg/dL (1.7 mmol/L) and
HDL cholesterol 40 mg/dL (1.0 mmol/L) in men
and 50 mg/dL (1.3 mmol/L) in women, are
desirable
