Hypoglycemia
• When Blood sugar level is: < 45 mg %
• Hypoglycemic Symptoms:
• Head ache
• Sweating
• Anxiety
• Confusion
• Slurring of speech
• seizure
• Coma (hypoglycemic coma), if not treated,
• Death
Hypoglycemia: causes
• Glycogenesis
• Glycogenolysis
Homeostasis of blood sugar: Role of kidney
• Renal Glucosuria :
excretion of glucose in urine when blood sugar level
is < 180 mg %
Glycosuria
• Glycosuria:
general term, presence of any reducing sugar in urine
• Emotional Glucosuria
• Alimentary Glucosuria(gastrectomy & hyperthyroidism)
Diabetes Mellitus
Diabetes Mellitus (DM)
• Diabetes mellitus is a syndrome consisting of a group of
metabolic diseases.

Chronic complications in DM:
Biochemical mechanism
• Blood glucose
• Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT)
• Glycated Hemoglobin ( HbA1C )
• Fructosamine
• Lipid profile
• Microalbuminuria
• Renal function tests
Glucose Tolerance Test
• During pregnancy:
• Excessive weight gain
• Past history of Macrosemia ( > 4kg Wt)
• Past history of miscarriage
Contraindications for OGTT
• Confirmed Diabetes
• Acute illness
• Should not be used for follow-up of DM
Preparation of the patient for OGTT
• 4. should avoid drugs influence blood sugar 2 days prior to the test
• Blood & urine sample must be collected at 30min interval for 2 - 21/2
hours.

OGTT: Diagnostic value for Diabetes Mellitus:
2 hr after glucose < 140 mg % > 200 mg% 140 – 199 mg%
• Diagnosis:
2-h - 155mg %
3-h - 140mg %
Screening for GDM is not necessary if the pregnant woman is < 25 y, normal body weight.
If the screening test is positive then only diagnostic test must be performed
Diagnosis of GDM requires any two of the four plasma glucose values obtained during
diagnostic test
