🗑
What is the diagnostic "random" blood sugar and what sx's must accompany it?   > or equal to 200 mg/dL + 3 P's, wt loss, sores that don't heal, etc.  
🗑

🗑
What is the rule of thumb when starting patients on insulin?   Regular 0.5 u/kg/day giving 2/3 in the AM and 1/3 in the PM  
🗑
What conditions result in early morning hyperglycemia?   Somogyi effect & Dawn Phenomenon  
🗑
Dawn Phenomenon?   tissues become desensitized to insulin nocturnally, blood sugar gets higher throughout the night  
🗑
Somogyi Effect?   nocturnal hypoglycemia stimulates surge of counter regulatory hormones that raise blood sugar (rebound affect)...i.e. hypoglycemic @ 3 am and is elevated at 7 am  
🗑

🗑

🗑
Name 2nd generation Sulfonylureas?   Glipizide (Glucotrol), Glyburide (Diabeta, Micronase)  
🗑
What is the action of Sulfonylureas?   stimulation of the pancreas to secrete more insulin  
🗑
What is the action of Biguanides?   increase insulin sensitivity, decrease glucogenesis, decrease glucose absorption  
🗑
What are some Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors?   Acarbose (Precose), Miglitol (Glyset)  
🗑
What is the action of Alpha-glucosidase?   to bind to disaccharidases more readily than sucrose, so less glucose is absorbed by the gut  
🗑
Name Thiazolidinediones and it's action?   Actos; increase insulin sensitizing  
🗑
