Zusammenfassung

Diabetes mellitus ist ein erhebliches Gesundheitsproblem mit steigender Prävalenz weltweit, mitbedingt durch Bewegungsmangel, Übergewicht und eine Verdreifachung des Zuckerkonsums in den letzten 50 Jahren. Die Stoffwechselerkrankung geht mit verschiedenen Komorbiditäten einher, wobei die Auswirkungen auf die Lunge zwar zunehmend untersucht werden, allerdings im klinischen Alltag oft noch unbeachtet bleiben. Der Beitrag liefert einen kurzen Überblick zur Diagnostik und Therapie der verschiedenen Formen des Diabetes für Pneumologen. Zudem werden der Einfluss der Diabeteserkrankung auf Lungenfunktion und Bildgebung sowie wichtige Wechselwirkungen mit pneumologischen Krankheiten aufgezeigt.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major health problem with increasing prevalence worldwide that is associated with a sedentary lifestyle, overweight and a tripling of sugar consumption over the last 50 years. This metabolic disease is associated with various comorbidities. There is increasing data about the effects of DM on the lung; however, this is rarely taken into account in clinical practice. The article gives a brief overview of the diagnosis and treatment of the distinct forms of DM for the pneumologist. The influence of diabetes on lung function and imaging as well as important interactions with pulmonary diseases are presented.
