Diabetes

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Incidence Prevalence of type I and type II   7th leading cause of death in US 20.8 million people or 7% of population 6.2 million people are unaware they have diabetes 90% are type II (often middle age and older adults) 20.9% are age 60 or older Incidence is higher in Men than Women  
🗑
Type I --- Genetic Considerations   HLA-DR and HLA-DQ Most do not develop type I (it is interactive effect of genetic predisp and environmental factors Risk increases with at least one diabetic parent to 1-20/1-50 from general popul of 1-400/1-1000  
🗑
Type II---Genetic considerations   heredity plays a major role in development offspring of paretns with type 2= 15% chance and 30% chance of having impaired glucose tolerance  
🗑
Type II-- Metabolic syndrome (AKA syndrome X) What is it   simultaneous presence of metabolic factors known to increase risk of develop type 2 and cardio disease  
🗑
Metabolic syndrome--- Abdominal obesiety   Waist circumf is greater than 40 inches (men) Waist circumf is greater than 35 inches (women)  
🗑
Metabolic syndrome--- Hyperglycemia   Fasting glucose level of 100 mg/dL or more OR on drug treatment for hyperglycemia  
🗑
Metabolic syndrome---Hypertension   Systolic BP of 130 mmHg OR disastolic BP of 85 mgHg Or on HTN meds  
🗑
Metabolic syndrome---dyslipidemia   Triglyceride level 150mg/dL Or on drug treatment HDL lower than 40 mg/dL (men)///lower than 50 mg/dL (women)  
🗑
Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA)-- Onset   Sudden **More common in type 1 diabetics** mortality rate is 1 to 10%  
🗑
DKA- Precipitating factors   Infection, other stressors, Inadequate insulin dose  
🗑
DKA- Manifestations   Ketosis: Kussmaul respiration, "fruity" breath, nausea, abd pain Dehydration or electrolyte loss: polyuria, polydipsia, weight loss, dry skin, sunken eyes, soft eyeballs, lethargy, coma  
🗑
DKA--Serum glucose   >300 mg/dL Ketones are present in Urine  
🗑
Primary intervention for BOTH DKA and HHNS   administration of fluids and insulin  
🗑
HHNS is more prevalent in...   Older adult clients and individuals with untreated or undiagnosed type 2 DM  
🗑
HHNS serum glucose level   >600 mg/dL  
🗑
HHNS onset/precipitating factors   Gradual/infection, other stressors, poor fluid intake  
🗑
HHNS manifestations   Altered CNS function with neurologic symptoms Dehydration or electrolyte loss (same as with DKA) generalized seizures and reversible paralysis  
🗑
Fluid replacement in HHS   first objective is to increase blood volume. in shock or severe hypotension give normal saline. infuse fluids @ 1 L/hr until BP and urine output are adequate then reduce to 100 to 200 ml/hr  
🗑
Monitor for signs of cerebral edema (during fluid replacement for HHNS)   abrupt changes in mental status, abnormal neurologic signs, coma  
🗑
IV insuline to treat HHNS   initial bolus of 0.15 unit per kg IV followed by drip of 0.1 unit per kg per hour until blood glucose falls to 250 mg/dL reasonable goal is reduction of 50 to 70 mg/dL per hour Monitor for hypokalemia  
🗑
Potential for hypoglycemia   @1 to 5 yrs after diagnosis of type I diab body stops response to hypoglycemia *pancreas loses ability to secrete glucagon in response to hypogly *response to epinephrine is also decreased hypogly unawareness-- no longer have warning signs (30 yrs ^  
🗑
symptoms of hypoglycemia neuroglycopenic   (brain glucose GRADUALLY declines) warmth, weakness, fatigue, difficulty thinking, confusion, behavior changes, emotional lability, seizures, loss of consciousness, brain damage, death  
🗑

🗑
Hypoglycemia Management   Identify patient @ risk Monitor blood glucose levels Monitor for signs ofof hypoglycemia Provide simple carb Provide complex carb and protein Administer glucagon Contact Emerg srvs Admins IV glucose Maintain IV access Maintan patent airway  
🗑
Hypoglycemia management (cont...)   Protect from injury review events prior to determine cause  
🗑
Hyperglycemia Management   1. Assess airway, LOC, hydration status, electrolytes, blood glucose level 2. check BP, P, Resp, every 15 min until stable 3. record urine output, temp, mental stat every hr 4. after treatment and pt is stable monitor vitals every 4 hrs  
🗑
Hyperinsulinemia   Chronic high blood insulin levels *can occur w/ intensive tx schedule & may result in weight gain *may need to manage hyperglycemia with decrease in calories rather than increase in insulin  
🗑
Macovascular complications Cardiovascular disease   *most common complication @ higher risk of MI (higer for women) 50% of diabetics have CVD @ diagnosis renal disease increases the risk of coronary heart disase and death from MI ADA recom BP less than 130/80 mmHg and LDL less than 100 mg/dL  
🗑
Macrovasular comp Cerebrovascular disease   diabetes damages cerebrovascular arterial circulation *elevated blood glucose levels @ the time of stroke may lead to greater brain injury and higher mortality  
🗑
Microvascular Complications Eye and vision comp   25 X more common in pts with diabetes r/t duration of disease after 20 yrs nearly all pts with type I have some degree of retinopathy r/t problems that block retinal blood vessels and cause them to leak  
🗑
nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy   causes structual problems in the retinal blood vessels BUT growth of new blood vessels is not stimulated areas of poor circulation, edema, hard fatty deposits in the eye and retinal hemorrahges microaneurysms->leak fluid & blood in retina>retinal edema  
🗑
Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR)   when retinal blood flow is poor and hypoxia develops retinal cells secrete "growth factor" which = new blood vessles in the eye that are thin and fragile and bleed easily = eye hemorrhage = more vision loss *fasting blood glu ^ 129 mg/dL  
🗑
Renal disease risk factors   10 to 15 yr hx of DM, DM retinopathy, poor blood glucose control, uncontoll htn, genetic predisposition  
🗑
Renal disease earliest clinical sigh   microalbuminuria--- testing for pts that have had type 1 for @ least 5 yrs and in ALL pts with type 2  
🗑
Cause of Renal disease   chronic high blood glucose levels cause HTN in kidney blood vessels and excess kidney perfusion which damages kidney (blood vessles become leakier esp in glomerulus) filtration of albumin = deposits in kidney tissue= narrow vessels= < O2= hypoxia/death  
🗑
Renal disease drug therapy   ACE inhibitors decrease levels of albuminuria and the rate of progression of kidney disease  
🗑
