Key Concepts:
during an overnight fast blood glucose levels are
maintained by switching between glycogenesis,
glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis
hormones tightly regulate these pathways
insulin and glucagon are the major hormones
regulating the switch from the fed to the fasting state
muscle glycogen serves as an energy source during
exercise.

DIABETES MELLITUS.
Diabetes -to straddle legs apart- -siphon
Mellitus -sweet (honey) tasting
Typically hyperglycaemic- excess glucose in blood
appears in urine.
1553 B.C. Polyuria mentioned by Hensy-Ra (Eygpt)
Arateus 100 AD 'the melting down of flesh and limbs
into urine.'

Type 1 DM
No insulin
No insulin, no
glucose uptake
Inject insulin and
glucose is taken up
The issues are
control is hard to get
right
Insulin is not the only
hormone involved
and it is a growth
hormone
Muscle cells
Insulin insensitivity
