Diabetes Mellitus, Hypoglycaemia and Diabetic Ketoacidosis: Pancreatic Anatomy, the Classification of Types One and Two and Their Management

An endocrine disorders lecture on diabetes mellitus that opens with the review of the anatomy and physiology of the pancreas and its hormones, then classifies the disease into type one and type two and takes their causes, manifestations, diagnostic tests and management. Hypoglycaemia follows with its own set of features and the drugs implicated in it, including the neuroglycopenic and autonomic responses, and the session closes on diabetic ketoacidosis - its precipitants, the clinical picture, the metabolic disturbances and the regimen that corrects them - with a class discussion exercise.
