Session and tracks

Track 01: Pancreas and Diabetes

Diabetes arises when excess glucose accumulates in the bloodstream because the pancreas either fails to produce sufficient insulin or the body doesn’t use it effectively. Insulin is crucial for cells to absorb glucose. Once food is digested, glucose enters the blood, and without adequate insulin, energy levels drop.

Track 02: Pathophysiology and Causes

Diabetes is marked by persistently high blood glucose levels, or hyperglycemia, caused by irregularities in insulin production, action, or both. This condition can present in diverse ways, leading to disruptions in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.

Track 03: Insulin

Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that is crucial for your body to convert sugar (glucose) into energy. When the pancreas fails to produce sufficient insulin or when the body doesn’t effectively use it, blood sugar levels rise, resulting in diabetes.

Track 04: Antidiabetics

An antidiabetic drug is any medication designed to reduce elevated blood glucose levels, a hallmark of diabetes mellitus, a disorder of the endocrine system. Diabetes arises from the body's inability to either produce sufficient insulin or properly respond to it.

Track 05: Insulin & Beta-Cells

Beta cells, located in clusters called islets within the pancreas, are responsible for producing insulin, which regulates blood glucose levels. In type 1 diabetes, the immune system erroneously targets and destroys these insulin-producing beta cells.

Track 06: Types of Diabetes

Type 1 Diabetes: An autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks and destroys insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas, leading to little or no insulin production.
Type 2 Diabetes: A metabolic disorder characterized by insulin resistance and a gradual decline in insulin production. It is often associated with obesity and lifestyle factors.
Gestational Diabetes: Diabetes that occurs during pregnancy and usually disappears after childbirth. However, it increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life.

Track 07: Glycemic Disorder

Dysglycemia is a general term describing irregularities in blood sugar regulation. It encompasses both hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and hyperglycemia (high blood sugar). These conditions arise due to disruptions in insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas that regulates blood glucose levels.

Track 08: Genetic Factors

Genetic factors play a significant role in the development of diabetes. Here are key aspects:

Family History
Genetic Mutations
Genetic Syndromes
Genetic Predisposition
Monogenic Diabetes
Epigenetics

Track 09: Hyperglycemic Dermatosis

Hyperglycemic Dermatosis refers to skin issues caused by prolonged high blood sugar levels in diabetes. Common conditions include diabetic dermopathy, necrobiosis lipoidica, acanthosis nigricans, and diabetic blisters. These skin changes are linked to chronic hyperglycemia and are managed by improving blood glucose control.

Track 10: Metabolic Kidney Disorder

Metabolic Kidney Disorder refers to kidney problems arising from metabolic imbalances, such as those seen in diabetes. These disorders can include conditions like diabetic nephropathy, where high blood glucose levels damage kidney function, leading to complications like proteinuria and impaired kidney function. Proper management of blood glucose and blood pressure is crucial for preventing or mitigating these issues.

Track 11: Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetic Retinopathy is an eye condition caused by diabetes, where high blood sugar damages retinal blood vessels. It can lead to vision problems and blindness if untreated. Key stages include non-proliferative (early) and proliferative (advanced) retinopathy. Regular eye exams and good blood sugar control are essential for prevention and management.

Track 12: PCOS

In the context of diabetes, PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) is a condition that can impact insulin resistance and glucose metabolism. Women with PCOS are at higher risk for:

Insulin Resistance: Reduced effectiveness of insulin, leading to higher blood glucose levels.
Type 2 Diabetes: Increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes due to metabolic disturbances.
Obesity: Often associated with weight gain, which can exacerbate insulin resistance.

Management involves lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, along with medications that address both PCOS symptoms and insulin resistance.

Track 13: Pancreatic Dysfunction

Pancreatic Dysfunction is when the pancreas fails to produce enough insulin or digestive enzymes. In diabetes, it leads to poor blood glucose control and possible digestive issues. Treatment usually includes medication, lifestyle changes, and insulin therapy.

Track 14: Assessment & Tracking

Assessment & Tracking in diabetes involves monitoring blood glucose levels, evaluating treatment effectiveness, and identifying potential complications. Key methods include:

Blood Glucose Monitoring: Regular checks to track daily glucose levels.
HbA1c Testing: Measures average blood glucose over the past 2-3 months.
Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM): Provides real-time glucose data.
Health Assessments: Evaluations of overall health, including kidney function, eye exams, and foot checks.

These practices help manage diabetes effectively and adjust treatment plans as needed.

Track 15: Lifestyle Influences

Lifestyle Influences on diabetes involve several key factors: diet, which affects blood sugar levels; exercise, which improves insulin sensitivity; weight management, which impacts glucose control; stress, which can alter blood glucose; and sleep, which affects overall health. Effective management of these elements is crucial for maintaining optimal diabetes control and overall well-being.

Track 16: Diabetes-Related Surgery

Diabetes-Related Surgery encompasses various surgical procedures aimed at managing complications or improving diabetes control. Common types include:

Bariatric Surgery: Weight-loss surgery that can improve insulin sensitivity and glycemic control.
Pancreas Transplant: Replacing a damaged pancreas to restore insulin production.
Islet Cell Transplant: Transplanting insulin-producing cells from a donor pancreas.
Foot Surgery: Treating severe foot complications like ulcers or infections.

These surgeries are typically considered when other management strategies are insufficient.

Track 17: Endoscopic Procedures

Endoscopic Procedures involve using a flexible tube to diagnose or treat diabetes-related issues, such as gastroparesis or screening for colorectal problems. These minimally invasive methods assist in managing complications and assessing pancreatic function.

Track 18: Diabetes Complications

Diabetes Complications encompass cardiovascular disease, nerve damage (neuropathy), eye damage (retinopathy), kidney damage (nephropathy), and foot issues. These complications arise from prolonged high blood sugar levels. Effective management of blood glucose is essential to prevent or minimize these problems. Regular check-ups and lifestyle adjustments play a crucial role in mitigating risks.

Track 19: Psychosocial Aspects

Psychosocial Aspects of diabetes encompass the emotional impact, such as stress and depression, which can affect management and quality of life. Social support from family, friends, and support groups plays a vital role in managing diabetes. The condition also influences daily routines, work, and social interactions. Addressing these emotional and social factors is key to comprehensive diabetes care and improving overall well-being.

Track 20: AI in Diabetes

AI in Diabetes involves using artificial intelligence for predicting glucose levels, personalizing treatment, continuous monitoring, analyzing data, and providing support tools. It aims to enhance accuracy and efficiency in diabetes management.
