Question
Answer
Define glycogen   polysaccharide- storage form of glucose  
🗑
Define glycogenesis   formation of glycogen from glucose  
🗑
Define glycolisis   glucose changed to give energy  
🗑
Define gluconeogenesis   formation of new glucose from fat or protein  
🗑
Where is glycogen made and stored?   made in the liver; stored in liver and muscle  
🗑
What does the liver do in regards to glucose?   Adds glucose to the blood. the activity of the liver is controlled by several hormones  
🗑
Where is insulin made?   in beta cells of Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas  
🗑
What does insulin do?   stimulates transport of glucose through the cell membrane. must be present for glucose to enter cells. controlled by the glucose concentration of the blood flowing through the pancreas.  
🗑
How does insulin affect the blood glucose level?   lowers it  
🗑
Where is glucagon made?   made in the alpha cells of pancreas  
🗑
What does glucagon do?   stimulate glycogenolysis (breakdown of glycogen into glucose)  
🗑
How does glucagon affect the blood glucose level?   raises blood glucose level  
🗑
Where are ketone bodies made?   in the liver  
🗑
What are ketone bodies made from?   excess fatty acids are partially metabolized into ketone bodies (waste product)  
🗑
Ketone bodies are 98%...   acid  
🗑
Define ketonuria   ketone bodies in the urine  
🗑
Define ketonemia   ketone bodies in the blood  
🗑
Define ketoacidosis   blood pH less than 7.35 due to ketone bodies (blood pH is too acid)  
🗑
Define hyperglycemia   high blood glucose  
🗑
Define hypoglycemia   low blood glucose  
🗑
Define glucosuria/glycosuria   glucose in the urine  
🗑
renal threshold   blood level above which glucose spills into the urine (maximum absorptive capacity is 160-180mg/dL)  
🗑
IDDM diabetes is also known as   Type I/ juvenile 5-10% OF DIABETICS  
🗑
IDDM age of onset:   any age, more common in youth (less than 20)  
🗑
What is IDDM?   insulin dependent diabetes mellitus  
🗑
IDDM - type of onset:   acute or abrupt  
🗑
IDDM symptoms:   weight loss, polyuria (increased urine), polydipsia (increased thirst), polyphagia (increased hunger)  
🗑
IDDM Endogenous insulin   none (pancreas not making insulin)  
🗑
IDDM -Causes:   genetic susceptibility, autoimmune, destruction of beta cells  
🗑
NIDDM- Also known as:   Type II, adult onset (90 - 95%)  
🗑
NIDDM Age of onset:   any age, more common in adults, uaully over 30  
🗑
NIDDM - Tpye of onset:   gradual  
🗑
NIDDM- Symptoms:   sometimes none  
🗑
NIDDM- Endogenous insulin:   Some (pancreas is making some)  
🗑
NIDDM- Oral agents used:   1/3 of the time, 1/3 diet + exercise, 1/3 need insulin injections  
🗑
NIDDM- Cause:   genetic- betea cell exhaustion, target cell resistance, 80% overweight, other 20% greater than ideal bodyweight  
🗑
What is diabetes type determined by?   What is CAUSING the diabetes  
🗑
Which type of diabetes has a tendency to get ketoacidosis and is difficult to control?   Type I  
🗑
Which type of diabetes may be controlled by diet alone?   Type II  
🗑
What do diabetics in poor control metabolize instead of glucose?   fatty acids/ lipids/ triglycerides  
🗑
What is retinopathy?   sclerosis of the tiny blood vessels in the eye specifically in the retina, harden and weak and can cause blindness, retinal detachment  
🗑
what does some complications of diabetes   atherosclerosis- lipid deposits within artery walls  
🗑
in diabetic coma the insulin level is   low  
🗑
in a diabetic coma the blood glucose level is   hiGh  
🗑
in a diabetic coma the urine glucose is   high  
🗑
in a diabetic coma onset is:   Hours to a day  
🗑
in a diabetic coma symptoms are   deep breathing/acidosis, dry/dehydration, fruity breathdue to ketones, drowsy and lethargic, coma  
🗑
treat a diabetic coma with   insulin  
🗑
in insulin shock the insulin level is   too high, not enough food/excess exercise/ alcohol lowers blood sugar  
🗑
during insulin shock the blood glucose level is   too low  
🗑
during insulin shock the urine glucose level is   Negative  
🗑
during insulin shock the onset is   sudden within minutes  
🗑
during insulin shock the symptoms are:   shallow breathing, perspiration, rapid heart action, breath odor is normal, lightheaded, I feel faint, may act intoxicated, coma - same as diabetic coma symptoms  
🗑
during insulin shock treat the patient with   15 grams of readily available carbohydrate such as small boxes of raisins, 7-8 life savers, half a cup of OJ, half a cup of soda, NOT a candy bar the protein slows absorption of sugar into bloodstream  
🗑
what are symptoms of hypoglycemia?   blood sugar less than 45 to 60 milligrams per deciliter  
🗑
what is a fasting blood glucose sample?   8 to 12 hours no food or beverages other than water  
🗑
what does OGTT stand for?   oral glucose tolerance test  
🗑
what samples are taken for the OGTT?   fasting blood sugar 1, 2, 3 hours after drinking glucola  
🗑
why would the physician order and OG TT for a patient?   If they think the patient is diabetic they have a high fasting glucose sample or glucose in the urine, if it runs in the family, pregnant women 24 to 28 weeks  
🗑
what samples are taken for the OGTTis hypoglycemia is suspected   4 & 5 hours  
🗑
give the renal threshold given the renal threshold and a patient's blood glucose level how would you determine if glucose will be in the urine   by the blood glucose level  
🗑
what is the normal result for 2 hour postprandial glucose test?   Less than 140 milligrams per deciliter  
🗑
what does the HB - A1c test measure?   Hemoglobin A combined with glucose (HgbA1)  
🗑
what is the advantage of the HBA 1c glycosylated hemoglobin test?   Reflects blood glucose over a three month period. normal 4-%6. this is for blood sugar concentration, Not hemoglobin!  
🗑
