Beschreibungen/Notizen

• As the modern era of combination antiretroviral therapy has increased life expectancy for HIV infected individuals, Type II Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and disorders of glucose metabolism have emerged as an important issue in the care of this population. Multiple mechanisms, both specific and nonspecific to HIV, underlie a significant prevalence. While best practice diagnostic testing remains unclear, the risks associated with diabetes in the setting of HIV are well characterized, ranging from organ-specific damage to socioeconomic decline. Population specific treatment data is limited, and thus current guidelines serve as a basis for ongoing management.
