Type 1 - Answers encompasses diabetes that is primarily a result of pancreatic beta cell
destruction and that is prone to ketoacidosis. This form includes cases due to an
autoimmune process and those for which the etiology of beta cell destruction is
unknown.
Type 2 - Answers may range from predominantly insulin resistance with relative
insulin deficiency to a predominant secretory defect with insulin resistance. The
person with Type 2 diabetes may be lean (10%) or overweight/obese (90%),
usually requires oral hypoglycemic agents or insulin, and is not ketosis-prone.
Gestational diabetes - Answers Type 2 diabetes occurring in pregnancy only; may require
insulin therapy. Oral hypoglycemic agents are not used for treatment of
gestational diabetes.
terms IDDM & NIDDM should not be used. - Answers which DM terms should not be used
glycogen is not stored; decreased uptake of glucose by fat
and muscle cells. - Answers what happens to carb metabolism during insulin deficiency
decreased lipogenesis (Type 1) and lipolysis occurs instead, leading
to ketone formation. - Answers what happens to fat metabolism during insulin deficiency
decreased protein synthesis and increased gluconeogenesis. - Answers what happens to protein
metabolism during insulin deficiency

People with diabetes should follow Canada's Guidelines for Healthy Eating
• Eat a variety of foods
• Emphasize cereals, breads, and other whole grains products, fruits, and
vegetables
• Choose lower fat dairy products, leaner meats, and foods prepared with
little or not fat
• Achieve and maintain a healthy body weight through regular physical
activity and healthy eating
• Limit sodium, alcohol, and caffeine - Answers What are the nutritional considerations for individuals
with diabetes?
i. prevent hypoglycemia if person on anti-diabetic agents or insulin
ii. appetite control
iii. improves potential to meet Canada's Food Guide to Healthy Eating - Answers Why are snacks
important for some people with diabetes? (3 reasons)
(50-55% of energy)
• include whole grains, fruits, vegetables and milk
• within the same food category, consume low-glycemic index foods in
place of high glycemic index foods
• sucrose intake of up to 10% of daily energy if acceptable
• the use of sweetners is acceptable
