    This document outlines the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It begins with an unknown etiology and predisposing factors such as increasing age, smoking, and diets high in cholesterol and glucose. This leads to insulin resistance where cells do not respond properly to insulin, causing elevated blood glucose levels. Over time, chronic high blood glucose results in glycoprotein deposits on cell walls and the clinical presentation of type 2 diabetes.

    Pathophysiology

    A. Schematic Diagram

    Etiology: Unkwon

    Predisposing Factor:

     Age-people greater than 45 years have higher rates


    of disease
     Faulty Lifestyle-smoking, diet high in Cholesterol and
    glucose
     High Blood Pressure

    Increased Blood Glucose

    Levels of insulin may increase to


    compensate for insulin
    resistance in peripheral tissues.

    Insulin Resistance

    Elevated blood glucose

    Increased osmolality

    Chronic elevations
    in blood glucose

    Glycoprotein cell
    wall deposits

    Diabetes Mellitus Type II
