Diabetes - created from Mind Map

Polyuria Blood glucose exceeds renal threshold Glycosuria glucose must be excreted carries corresponding water molecule increased volumes of urine

Polydipsia glucose levels exceed renal threshold glucose carries water molecules excessive urine increased thirst to correct dehyradtion

Polyphagia Body metabolises energy from fat stores. Glugoneogenesis metabolism compromised. Mimics starvation Hunger increases as body tries to compensate for this

Weightloss metabolism compromised body using energy from fat stores fat broken down

lethargy hyperglycaemia hypoglycaemia

infections Autoimmune link to diabetes Immune system weakend prone to longer lasting, recurrent, more frequent infections increased UTI and vaginal infections

Ketones by product of lipogenesis increased fatty acids can lead to acidosis
