INTRODUCTION

The term diabetes mellitus describes diseases of abnormal carbohydrate metabolism that are characterized by hyperglycemia. It is associated with a relative or absolute impairment in insulin secretion, along with varying degrees of peripheral resistance to the action of insulin. Every few years, the diabetes community reevaluates the current recommendations for the classification, diagnosis, and screening of diabetes, reflecting new information from research and clinical practice.

This topic will review the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and initial evaluation of diabetes in nonpregnant adults. Screening for and prevention of diabetes, the etiologic classification of diabetes mellitus, the treatment of diabetes, as well as diabetes during pregnancy are discussed separately.

● (See "Screening for type 2 diabetes mellitus" .)

● (See "Prevention of type 2 diabetes mellitus" and "Type 1 diabetes mellitus: Prevention and disease-modifying therapy" .)

● (See "Classification of diabetes mellitus and genetic diabetic syndromes" .)

Infusion Sets—The Weakest Link?

San Diego Pump Club in September 2015 Little attention has been paid over the years to the effectiveness of the infusion set in the push to improve insulin pumps and CGMs and connect them with an algorithm into an artificial pancreas. Not all infusion sets are delivering insulin well. Too often Unexplained High Glucose or UHG happens from a malfunctioning infusion set and the wearer misdiagnoses it as “I ate the wrong thing.” Is the problem coming from a mismatch between poor infusion set design, the user’s technique, or other physiology? See what the latest research and thinking has to say about the state of infusion sets, including a discussion of a reduction in silent occlusions with BD’s new FlowSmart infusion set.

The title slide contains the diagram of a glucometer connected with a blue diabetes support ribbon. The further slides contain human illustrations with a diagram of the glucometer, pricker, and test strips, which can help the audience understand safe sugar levels and risky conditions. Moreover, in the following slide, a weighing balance shows that the significance of fruits is higher than fast food. Some other slides are:

• Symptoms slide to describe the signs of the poor health condition
• Horizontal timeline slide with editable textboxes to demonstrate the history of diabetes and its futuristic details.
