DIABETES QUIZ
Question | Answer |
---|---|
cause of ketoacidosis | not taking insulin |
TX for unconscious pt | dextrose IV or glucagon IM |
glucose levels (normal) | 70-105 |
fasting glucose level | 110-125 |
2 hr postprandial glucose test | greater than 200 confirms diabetes |
TX for Ketoacidosis | treat dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, acidosis and hyperglycemia |
TX - Dehydration | replace fluid loss with NORMAL SALINE. 1000ccc 1st hr, can be f/ w up to 8000cc fluid in the 1st 24 hrs |
TX - Electrolytes | PRIMARY CONCERN IS K+. Fluid replacement 1st then K+ after urine output is ok. Give potassium alloguots 10-20 MEQ IV. |
TX - Acidosis | slow infusion INSULIN DRIP. Once BS is down to 250-300, add dextrose to IV. Potential of HYPOGLYCEMIA (TX is to add sugar to IV to even out). Monitor ABG and ketones |
S/S of HYPERGLYCEMIA | 3P'S: polyuria, polyphagia, polydypsia. Nausea, drowsiness, blurred vision, dry skin |
S/S of HYPOGLYCEMIA | shaking, rapid heart beat, headache, sweating, impaired vision, dizziness, hunger, weakness, fatigue, anxious, irritable |
DIABETES MNEMONICS | HOT & DRY = SUGAR HIGH; COLD & CLAMMY = NEED SOME CANDY |
DIABETES MNEMONICS (HYPOGLYCEMIA) | TIRED. Tachycardia, irritability, restless, excessive hunger, diaphoresis depression |
TX hypoglycemia | check blood sugar, drink OJ, check blood sugar, within 30 mins, eat pb sandwich or meat sandwich & a glass of milk. |
DIABETES MNEMONICS (Diabetec Ketoacidosis) - tx | HIE (hydration insulin electrolyte replacement) |
Classic sign of KETOACIDOSIS | KUSSMAUL RESPIRATIONS (rapid and deep) & Fruityr breath odor |
DIABETES MELLITUS | is a chronic metabolic disorder in which glucose intolerance results from varying degrees of insulin insufficiency. |
DIABETES TYPE 1 | INSULIN DEPENDENT, JUVENILE-ONSET. Charac by ABSENCE of endogenous insulin. Requires EXOGENOUS insulin rest of life |
DIABETES TYPE 2 | NON INSULIN DEPENDENT. Charac by INADEQUATE insulin. May be controlled by exercise and diet but may req oral hypoglycemic |
ISLETS OF LANGERHANS | blood glucose normally regulated by insulin which is produced by this in the pancreas |
PRIMARY GOAL IN TX DIABETES | maintain and stabilize glucose levels |
INSULIN | promotes the transportation of glucose into cells and influences metabolism of fats and proteins. |
HYPOGLYCEMIA - CAUSES | too little food, too much insulin or diabetes med, too much physical activity. |
HYPOGLYCEMIA - ONSET | SUDDEN, may progress to insulin shock!!! BS is beow 70 |
HYPERGLYCEMIA - CAUSES | too much carbs, not enough meds, illness or stress |
HYPERGLYCEMIA - ONSET | GRADUAL, may progress to diabetic coma, BS is above 180 |
