About this listen
In-depth overview of diabetes mellitus, a chronic condition characterized by high blood sugar levels. We'll first focus on the endocrine system, specifically the pancreas, and its role in regulating blood glucose. It details the production, function, and interactions of insulin, glucagon, and other pancreatic hormones. Then, we'll delve into the pathogenesis of both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, explaining how they differ in their etiology and progression. It then elaborates on the various complications associated with uncontrolled diabetes, including diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS), and outlines their management. Finally, we'll discuss the impact of diabetes on oral health and the specific considerations dentists should keep in mind when treating diabetic patients.
