Track: Types of Diabetes

Session Overview

This session provides a comprehensive overview of the different types of diabetes, emphasizing their pathophysiological differences, diagnostic criteria, and clinical implications. It explores how advancements in medical research have refined disease classification and improved early detection, allowing for more targeted therapeutic approaches.

Key Topics

Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus: An autoimmune disorder characterized by the destruction of pancreatic beta cells, leading to absolute insulin deficiency. It commonly presents in childhood or adolescence but can occur at any age.

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: The most prevalent form of diabetes, associated with insulin resistance and relative insulin deficiency. Lifestyle factors, obesity, and genetic susceptibility play a significant role in its development.

Gestational Diabetes: A form of glucose intolerance that develops during pregnancy and increases the risk of maternal and fetal complications, as well as future Type 2 diabetes in both mother and child.

Monogenic and Secondary Diabetes: Rare forms of diabetes caused by single-gene mutations or secondary conditions such as pancreatic disease, hormonal disorders, or medication use.

Prediabetes and Risk Assessment: A metabolic state characterized by impaired glucose regulation that significantly increases the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, highlighting the importance of early intervention.

Learning Objectives

Participants will gain a clear understanding of the various types of diabetes and their distinguishing features. The session aims to enhance knowledge of diagnostic criteria and risk factors associated with each subtype. Attendees will be able to apply classification principles to support individualized patient management. The session also emphasizes the role of early diagnosis and preventive strategies in reducing the global burden of diabetes.
