Diabetes

DIABETES- Test 2- Sami's lecture

QuestionAnswer
Diabetes Mellitus a group of diseases. Inability to metabolize gluecose properly.
Diabetes causes hyperglycemia with resultant vascular, neurological, renal, and vision disorders.
Insulin reduces gluecose in the blood by permitting transport into cells
Insulin continues to reduce gluecose throught storage of excess gluecose (liver or fat)
Type 1 No insulin secretion
Type 2 Insulin resistance, Beta cell fatigue with diminished secretion
Insulin allows gluecose to turn in to fat
Classic symptoms of Diabetes Polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia, Wt. loss
110-126 "pre-diabetic"
Fasting BG Equal to or less then 126
OGTT stands for Oral Gluecose tolerance test
OGTT above 200
What is a OGTT -fast, -blood draw, -syrup like drink, -blood draw is one hour after last sip of drink, - no eating, smoking, drinking or gum in between last drink and test
A1C Avg. blood sugar over 3 month period, taken as random draws
Type 1 diabetes is an Autoimmune disorder, equal in Males and females, increased in Caucasians,
Ave. age of on set (type 1) Puberty
Sudden onset symptoms polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia, wt.loss, acidosis
Without insulin = death
Liver stores 60% of gluecose (every meal)-> gylcogen
TYPE 2 (WARNING SIGNS) -Family Hx, -Increased waist circumference, -Increased BMI (the heavier you are the greater chance for diabetes), Chances increase with age, People who live in the deep south (Mississippi)
Type 2 diabetes: ethnic groups AFRICAN-AMERICAN, Native American, Asians, Hispanics, Pacific Islanders
Blood gluecose level over 140= impaired gluecose tolerence "aka: prediabetes"
Rapid acting insulin works rapidly
Types of rapid acting insulin Onset: 15 min, peak 60-90 min, durationis 3-4 hr. (lispro- humalog), : (aspart- Novolog), : (glulisine- Apidra)
Short acting Insulin Onset:1/2 hr.- 1 hr, peak 2-3 hr, duration 3-6 hr. (Regular- Novolin R, Humulin R)
Intermediate- Acting Onset 2-4 hr, peak 4-10 hr, duration 10-16 hr.(NPH- Novolin N, Humulin N)
NPH stands for Neutral protimine Hagadorn known as N
Regular insulin (R) is What your body normally makes
Nov. 14th is Diabetes day
Banteen and Bess in 1900 ground the pancreas of a dog and in justed it in to a young boy. This boy make a recovery from his diabetes
Elile and Lilly Pantented Insulin (didn't create at all)
Insulin R had to be given 4x per day
In 1936 Hagadorn created time released Insulin that lasted 24 hr.s
24 hr insulin is aka NPH/ daily insulin
Bolus means body makes lg. amount. Body makes about 25
Basal Your body gives @ 1 unit of insulin every single hr. @ 25 units per day
Pre-mixed 70/30, 50/50, 75/25.
Top number and bottom number of premixed top is NPH, bottom is R
Long acting Onset:1-2 hr., peak: no pronounced peak, duration 24h.(glargine- Lantus), (detemir- Levemir)
Long acting is crystalized: no peak and lasts 24 hours
With long acting, your pancreas pumps just right amount of insulin
Diabetes was diagnosed 3500 yrs ago!
Sliding scale aka correction dose @100
development: R came first, then NPH came second
Routes Subcutaneous injection, SCII, IV, INtranasal
Subcutaneous injection Insulin syringes, Insulin pens
SCII Insulin pump
IV 100 mL/100U, delivered with a pump adjusted with protocol
INTRANASAL Exubra- removed from market 1/08
Dosages Basal and Bolus, Correction or sliding scale
Mixing insulins (fixed-mix), customize mixing
Factors Affecting Insulin Absorbtion -Site of injection, -Depth of injection, -dose, - exercise,- heat/massage
Hypoglycemia blood sugar less then 60
Hypoglycemia causes Over dose of insulin or oral anti-diabetic agent, -unusually rapid absorbtion, -omitting or delaying a meal, - exercise without food coverage, -Illness, -Alcohol intake, -weight loss
Hypoglycemia symptoms hunger, headache, drunken feeling, combativeness, dilopia, cold,clammy skin, tremors, irritability, anxiety, hypothermia, piloerrection, unconsciousness, convultions, diabetic encephalopathy
Treatment for hypoglycemia quick acting gluecose, gluecose gels, 50% Dextrose IV, Gluecagon Injectable
Foot care: Path logical changes Nerve damage, vascular damage, infection, foot changes
Assessments Circulation, Skin integrity, pain, paresthesia, deformities
Teach patient to Keep blood sugar under control (take medication, exercise,eat prescribed diet, monitor blool glucose).
Teach patient to wash their feet every day and to look for cuts, sores blisters, swelling and infected toenails. Use a mirror to look at bottom of feet if they can't see them clearly.
Teach patient to keep skin soft with a thin coat of skin lotion on top and bottom of feet, do not apply between toes.
Teach patient to wash feet every day.(Don't soak feet). Use a mild soap. Make sure to test the water with elbow or thermometer (90-95 degrees is good). Dry feet well.
teach patent: DO NOT cut corns and calluses. DO not use razor blades, chemicals to remove warts, corns or calluses.
Teach patient to see a: EACH st at least once a year.
Teact pt.to Trim toenails straight across. Smooth with an emery board.If you have difficulty seeing or cutting toenails, have foot dr. trim them.
Teach pt to wear: shoes and socks ALL the time. Do NOT walk barefoot. Always wear socks, stockings or nylons with your shoes to avoid blisters.
Teach pt. to wear socks made of cotton. this is to keep feet dry and warm. Check the inside of shoes before putting them on. Wear shoes that fit well, don't but "stupid shoes".
Teach pt. to protect feet from cold or heat. Don't use a heating pad or hto water bottle. Wear shoes at the beach or no hot pavement. Wear cotton socks at night to keep feet warm. KEEP feet warm in cold weater (good warm boots).
Teach pt. to encourage good blood flow! Put your feet up when you are sitting. Do feet and leg exercises several times a day. Don't cross legs. Don't wear tight socks that restrict blood flow. Do not wear garders or roll socks.
Teach pt. to NEVER, EVER SMOKE! Nicotine causes capillary constriction.
Teach pt. to GET MOVING. Exercise regularly! You mightwant to avoid running long disance or hiking, this may be to hard on the feet. Wear well fitting athletic shoes.
Teach pt. to Call their doctor as soon as they notice any foot problems.
What puts diabetic pt. a such high risk for foot ulcers? Diabetic Neuropthoy. It is farthest away from heart so they get the least blood flow. Bone shape often changes in diabetic patients. Diabetic patients often cannot feel their feet.
When assessing feet of a diabetic pt.: - do a visual exam of foot, -sensory exam , -palpation (pulses, temp, callus formation)
When assesing look for: circulation, skin integrity, pain, paresthesia, deformities. Look for lesions, deep groves (fizzers), edema, pain, ask if experiencing night leg pain?, toe nails, corn, callisus, muscle weakness
Appropriate interventions to promote healing of foot ulsers: Clease with a neutral solution, keep pressure off foot, exercise foot, A topical gel of recombinant platelet, skin graff or amputation is last resorts
Purpose for blood glucose monitoring to make managment desions regarding diet and medication as well ad dectecting for hyper or hypo glycemia
Acidosis cells don't get enough glucose.
When you burn fat you leave behind: Keytone
Keytone acidosis body becomes acidic. bodys responce is to vomit.
Keytone acidosis typically takes three weeks to kill the patient
