Pathophysiology and Overview of Diabetes Mellitus – Type 1 and Type 2This two-hour course reviews the definition of diabetes mellitus, functions of insulin, amylin, glucagon and Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) in addition to providing an overview of diabetes. The potential causes of diabetes are reviewed. The American Diabetes Association’s classification and diagnostic criteria are presented. Type 1 and type 2 diabetes are discussed in detail. Metabolic syndrome and its relationship to diabetes is discussed along with screening for diabetes. Diabetes in children is briefly reviewed. Several handouts are provided.
