Do you know what is the most challenging about diabetes mellitus (DM), I mean while studying it?!
It’s to understand the differences between the main two types of diabetes, which are type 1 and type 2 DM. And more specifically, it’s to understand the difference between the pathophysiology of both types. And this is the function of Diabetes Mellitus Concept Map.
The map enables you to build the following key points upon the pathophysiology of diabetes:
- Age of onset, why do most of type 1 DM are children and most of type 2 are adults?
- Obesity in diabetes, when it could be a risk factor and when it could be a result?!
- Insulin, why it could be used in type 2 although it must be used in type 1?!
- Diabetic Ketoacidosis, why is it often present it type 1 although it is rare it type 2?
- Modification in diet also differes in both types, How?
- Monitoring for complications, why should it be immediately after diagnosis for type 2 patients while it could be 5 years after diagnosis for type 1 patients?
All these points and more are presented in a creative way in Diabetes Mellitus Concept Map - which I’m explaining in the following video - in order to help you in building knowledge upon each other, linking between related information, studying DM as one picture, and finally in preparing yourself for better practice.
To get the most benefit of this map, watch the video several times and pause when needed, as i go quickly through the main points. After doing this, REMEMBER TO TELL ME WHICH PART OF THE MAP DID YOU REALLY LIKE, whether it is a mind map, a comparision, a diagram, an illustrative image, a clip art, … etc.
