T1DM vs. T2DM vs. GDM - PBSci 7

T1DM

Which type of diabetes is characterized by an absolute insulin deficiency due to the autoimmune destruction of pancreatic β-cells?

T2DM

Which type of diabetes involves a combination of insulin resistance and a progressive relative insulin deficiency from β-cell burnout?

GDM

Which type of diabetes is induced by pregnancy, where placental hormones cause insulin resistance?

T1DM

In which diabetes type does a lack of insulin lead to cells starving, triggering lipolysis and a risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA)?

T2DM

Which diabetes type is initially compensated for by hyperinsulinemia but eventually leads to chronic hyperglycemia?

GDM

In which condition does high maternal blood sugar result in fetal hyperinsulinemia and macrosomia?

T1DM

What is the primary cause of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus?

T2DM

Which diabetes type is often associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome?

GDM

Which condition is caused by insulin resistance from placental hormones like hPL, estrogen, and progesterone?

T1DM

Which diabetes mechanism results in glucose being unable to enter cells, causing hyperglycemia?
