Pathophysiology of Type 2 Diabetes
GlucoseGlucose
Cells in the Cells in the Pancreas get Pancreas get
“tired” and have “tired” and have trouble making trouble making
insulininsulin
Sometimes the cells in the body are resistant to insulinSometimes the cells in the body are resistant to insulin
Dinneen SF. Diabet Med. 1997; 14 (Suppl 3): S19-24.
1. You eat food and some turns to glucose (sugar)
2. The sugar goes to the blood vessel
3. The pancreas makes insulin to get the glucose into your cells.
![Page 15: Managing Diabetes: How to help yourself and your family](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5513e04355034674748b53e3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
How do we fix it?Sometimes your doctor will give you
medicines to help your pancreas make more insulin or help your cells open up to accept the sugar
Eat smaller amounts of foods that turn to sugar. If you eat less, it’s less sugar to process at one time.
Exercise is a natural medicine! It will help the sugar get out of the blood and into your cells.

Blood Glucose MonitoringWhen to check

Fasting or pre-meal

2 hours post- meal
<140mg/dl <180mg/dl
A1C <6.5% <7%
