Unit 3: Nutrition - Altered Glucose Metabolism
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Describe the role of insulin in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and amino acids. | An anabolic hormone made in beta cells of the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas, plays a key role in allowing body cells to 'store and use' carbohydrates, fat and protein |
| DM on Glucose metabolism | The lack of insulin affects metabolism of carbohydrates,proteins, and fat and leads to long-term complicationsthroughout the body. |
| DM on Fat metabolism | The lack of insulin affects metabolism of carbohydrates,proteins, and fat and leads to long-term complicationsthroughout the body. |
| DM on Protein metabolism | The lack of insulin affects metabolism of carbohydrates,proteins, and fat and leads to long-term complicationsthroughout the body. |
| Type 1 diabetes mellitus (Insulin Dependent) | is an autoimmune disorder caused by primarybeta-cell destruction, leading to absolute insulin deficiency. |
| Type 2 diabetes mellitus | Characterized by a reduction in the ability of most of the cells to respond to insulin (insulin resistant), poor control of liver glucose output and decreased beta cell function |

| Glycosylated hemoglobin (hemoglobin A1c) | IT IS CALLED THIS AS HEMOGLOBIN ATTRACTS GLUCOSE AND OVER TIME THE GLUCOSES INCREASES AND REMAINS ATTACHED TO THE HEMOGLOBIN MOLECULE. IT IS THERE FOR 120 DAYS. MEASURE OF OVERALL GLUCOSE CONTROL OVER 120 DAYS AS RBC’S DIE AFTER 120 DAYS. THE LOWER THE |

| Discuss the reason for sliding scale administration of short acting insulin which is | (blank) |
| Discuss the nutritional management of DM. | (blank) |
| Explain the American Diabetes Association average premeal blood glucose | (blank) |
| Describe how exercise, alcohol consumption, surgery, and/or illness may | Exercise increases the body’s ability to utilize caloriesand decreases the need for insulin. The combined effectof these two actions is that the diabetic client may havea hypoglycemic episode due to having too much exogenousinsulin or insuffi cient glycog |
| Type 1 DM: Dawn phenomenon | A fasting hyperglycemia thought to result from nocturnal release of growth hormone secretion that may cause blood glucose elevations around 5 to 6 am and is treated by providing more insulin for the overnight period |
| Type 1 DM: Somogyi phenomenon | A morning hyperglycemia resulting from effective counter regulatory response to nighttime hypoglycemia, that is treated by ensuring adequate dietary intake at bedtime and evaluating insulin dose and excercise program. |
| nephropathy | renal failure |
| neuropathy | damage to peripheral and autonomic nerves |
| retinopathy | ocular complications leading to blindness |

| S/O: Diabetic ketoacidpsis (DKA) | (blank) |
| S/O: Hypoglycemia | Blood glucose = 50 mg/dl or lower; (too much insulin or too little glucose |

| Int: Hypoglycemia | (blank) |
| Int: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) | DEVELOPS IF LEFT UNTREATED. KETOACIDOSIS IS AN ACCUMULATION OF KETONES. KETONES ARE KETONE ACETONES. |
| Int: Hyperglycemic hyperosmolar nonketotic syndrome (HHNS) | Very serous complications. Onset comes slowly. The mortality rate is > 50%. Happens to more elderly people. Related to a period of Hyperglycemia. The older person does not take in enough fluids and their thirst mechanism does not work as well. Then |

| Classification: Parenteral antidiabetic – Insulin / Prototype: Rapid acting: Humalog (Lispro) or Novolog (Insulin Aspart) | Necessary for type 1 diabetes & for moderate to severe type 2 diabetes |
| Classification: Oral antidiabetic – Sulfonylurea / Prototype: First generation – Chlorpropamide (Diabinese) | These agents are appropraite only for clients with pancratic beta cell function; hypoglycemia is the most serious complication; other side effects include hematologic reactions, allergic skin reactions and GI effects |
| Classification: Oral antidiabetic – Meglitinides / Prototype: Repaglinide (Prandin) | Action & Side effects are similar to sulfonylura agents. Adverse effects include hypoglycemia, GI disturbance, Upper resp infections, athrlagia, back pain and headache |
| Classification: Oral antidiabetic – D – phenylalanines / Prototype: Nateglinide (Starlix) | Derivatives lower blood glucise by triggering insulin secretion via interaction with teh ATP sensitive potassium channel on pancreatic beta cells |
| Classification: Oral antidiabetic – Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors / Prototype: Arcarbose (Precose) | Reduce postprandial hyperglycemia by slowing digestion and absorption of carbohydrate within the intestine. Side effects include abdominal discomfort r/t undigested carbohydrate in the intestinal tract. |
| Classification: Oral antidiabetic – Biguanides / Prototype: Metformin (Glucophage) | only available in US & can cause lactic acidosis in clients with renal insufficiency |
