Question
Answer
Symptoms for mild hypoglycemia   BG<60;trembling,shaking, sweating,rapid HR, headache,hunger tingling of extremities,  
🗑
Symptoms for Severe hypoglycemia   BG<40; confusion, strange behavior, slurred speech, blurry vision, numbness, trouble concentrating, irriability, seizure, coma  
🗑
What is the signifigance of beta blockers with diabetic patients?   they cause less severe/obvious symptoms  
🗑
examples of beta blockers   Propandolol (Inderal, Dentensol)  
🗑
treatment for sulfonyurea-induced hypoglycemia   Diazoxide (Proglycem) or Sandostatin  
🗑
Drug Treatment Hypoglycemia (patients that cannot swallow)   Glucagon (IM,SUBQ, causes voimiting) with D50, if pt cant swallow (avoid extravasation)  
🗑
Dawn Phenomenon   nighttime release of GH that causes hypoglycemia between 5-6am--give intermediate insulin @HS  
🗑
Somogyi Phenomenon   morning hyperglycemia from counterregulatory response to nighttime hypoglycemia--give food@night  
🗑
Sick day rules   tell MD that u are sick, monitor BGq4h, test ketones when BG=240; keep taking meds, prevent dehydration,cant eat--liquids=carb content of usual meal  
🗑
Sick day rules--Call MD if...   Persistent N&V, mod-large ketones, BG rises after 2 doses of insulin, High temp (over 101.5) for more than 24rs  
🗑
Counter regulatory hormoes   Glucagon (main), GH, epinephrine, norepinephrine, cortisol  
🗑
Polyuria   frequent/excessive urine results from osmotic diuresis caused by excessive glucose in urine  
🗑
Polydipsia   excessive thirst; result of diuresis--Sodium, chloride, potassium are excreted, H20 loss is severe-->dehydration  
🗑
Polyphagia   cells have no glucose, starvation occurs, they will stay in starvation mode until insulin is available to move glucose into cells  
🗑
Dehydration that occurs with diabetes leads to...   Hemoconcentration, Hyperviscosity, hypovolemia, hypoperfusion & hypoxia  
🗑
Hypoxic cells dont metaboiize glucose effectively so what occurs   Kreb cycle is blocked, lactic acid increases causing more acidosis  
🗑
Metabolic acidosis   excess acid causes an increase in Hydrogen ions & carbon dioxide levels in blood  
🗑
Kussmauls   respirations increaes in rate & depth to try & get rid of CO2 & acid  
🗑
metabolic acidosis ABGs show   decreased pH & decreased bicarb (HCO3)  
🗑
Risk factors for Metabolic syndrome   FBG>100;BP>120/80;Triglyceride>150; Large waist circumference-men40, women35; decreased in HDL-men40, women-50  
🗑
Interventions for Metabolic syndrome   healthy heart diet (DASH); Loss of 5-10% of body wt, smoking cessaion, exercise  
🗑
what do counter regulatory horomes do?   inhibit isulin production--raise BG levels  
🗑
Hemoglobin A1c (normal)   5.7  
🗑
Hemoglobin A1c (pre-diabetic)   5.7-6.4  
🗑
hemoglobin A1c (diabetes)   6.5 or higher  
🗑
Alpha cell secrete   Glucagon (sustains glucose when fasting)  
🗑
Beta cells secrete   Insulin  
🗑
Delta cell secrete   Somatostatin  
🗑
Type I   Beta cells make little/no insulin--autoimmune  
🗑
Type II   decreased production/utlization--increased insulin resistance  
🗑
Gestational   Placenta hormones need more insulin (3times); secretes excessive epinephrine &norephinreine (not enuff to stablize BG levels)  
🗑
Basal insulin   24 insulin production(intermediate & long acting) Lantus, NPH, Levemir  
🗑
Prandial   needed during meeal (short & rapid) regular, novolog, humalong, apidra  
🗑
How is diabetes diagnosed?   FBG of 126 on 2 more occasion (fast 8h); 3hr glucose tolerance test--over 200  
🗑
How is pre-diabetes diagnosed?   FBG of 100-125; 2hr post load glucose 140-199 (fast for 10-12hrs)  
🗑
What is DKA?   absence/inadequate amt of insulin--results in disorders in metabolisms of carbs, fats proteins  
🗑
DKA--How does body respond to insulin deficit?   pulls from stored glycogen, protein & fat stores for energy  
🗑
Byproduct of fatty metabolism   FFA--Glycerol--Ketones(drops pH)-Metabolic acidosis  
🗑
DKA--Signs & symptoms   3Ps, blurry vision, fatique, dehydation, dry mouth, itchy skin, low BP, increased HR, weakness, altered LOC, NV, abd pain, Kussmauls, coma, death  
🗑
DKA--Management--drug therapy   goal to lower BG by 75-150/hr; MILD-subQ Moderate to severe--reg. insulin by continous IV OR inital bolus 0.1unit/kg followed by IV insulin drip 0.1 unit/kg/hr; assess BG qhr  
🗑
DKA--management--assesments   1st assess airway, LOC, hydration status, electrolytes & BG levels; Check BP,RR,HR q15min; stable--q4h; urine output, temp & LOC q1h  
🗑
DKA--Fluid management   1st-1L NS over 30-60min,(2nd liter given in next half hr, restores volume & maintains perfusion) 2nd-).45%NS slowly (replaces total body fluid loss  
🗑
DKA--acidosis management   assess for hypokalemia; before giving IV K+ patient needs 30ml urine/hr, bicarb is used only in severe acidosis; sodium bicarb given slowly IV over several hrs pH<7 & HC03<3  
🗑
DKA--signs of hypokalemia   fatigue, confusio, muscle weakness, shallow res, abd distention, paralytic ileus, hypotension, weak pulse  
🗑
DKA--why is bicarbonate only given in severe cases?   can reverse acidosis too fast, & lead to severe hypokalemia  
🗑
DKA--patient/family teaching   check BG q4-6hr, check ketones, drink 3L, with nausea-liquids w/glucose & electrolytes, vomiting-8-12oz calorie free liquids, 150g of carb,  
🗑
Only insulin that can be given IV   regular  
🗑
In acute stages insulin can be given   SubQ & IM  
🗑
Management of DKA (Basham)   electrolyte replacement, check renal function, foley (stict I&O), ABGs (bicarb may/may not be given), EKG, correction scale  
🗑
DKA--ABGs show   decreased HCO3, CO2, and pH  
🗑
fatty acids are used when... it is stored?   glucose is not available; stored in cells  
🗑
incretin hormones are secreted in response to...increases what secretion? stops what? slows what?   food in tummy, increases insulin secretion, stops glucagon & slows rate of of gastric emptying  
🗑
Main fuel for CNS   Glucose, brain cant store/make much of it, it needs constant supply to prevent neural dysfunction & cell death  
🗑
Insulin is needed to move____into cell; without it body breaksdown____   glucose; w/o it body breaks down fats/proteins  
🗑
