Diabetes Mellitus
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Diabetes Mellitus | "to siphon" and "sweet", "an outpouring of sweet urine" has two types |
Type one | the result of pancreatic islet cell destruction and no insulin production |
Type two | insulin resistance with a defect in compensatory insulin secretion |
pancreases hormones | metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, hormones in islets of Langerhans, the three types of cells; alpha, beta, delta |
alpha cells | produce glucagon, stimulates breakdown of glycogen in the liver, stimulates formation of carbohydrates in the liver, stimulates breakdown of lipids in liver and adipose tissue |
Major function of glucagon | decrease glucose oxidation, increase blood glucose levels, uses glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis to keep blood sugar normal |
glycogenolysis | breakdown of liver glycogen |
gluconeogenesis | formation of glucose from fats and proteins |
beta cells | secretes insulin, helps movement of glucose across cell membrane thus decreases blood glucose, prevents excessive breakdown of glycogen in liver and muscle, facilitates lipid formation, inhibits breakdown of stored fats |
delta cells | produce somatostatin, neurotransmitter inhibits production of glucagon and insulin |
blood glucose homeostasis | all tissues require glucose, not all tissues require insulin for glucose uptake, normal blood glucose through cations of insuin and glucagon, counterregulatory hormones stimulate release of glucose |
manifestations of type 1 | Hyperglycemia Causes serum hyperosmolality so water drawn into vessels Have increased renal blood flow and hyperglycemia acts as osmotic diuretic Polyuria and glucosuria Polydipsia Polyphagia |
manifestations of type 2 | Slow onset Polyuria Polydipsia Blurred vision Fatigue Paresthesias Skin infections |
diagnostics criteria | Symptoms plus casual plasma glucose over 200 mg/dl Fasting plasma glucose over 126 mg/dl Two-hour plasma glucose over 200 mg/dl during oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) |
types of insulin | Rapid acting Short acting Intermediate acting Long acting Insulin for the type 1 diabetic or type 2 when ill, oral meds not working |
goals of nutrition | Maintain near normal blood glucose Achieve optimal serum lipid levels Provide adequate calories Prevent & treat acute complications Improve overall health |
sick day management | Prevent dehydration Provide nutrition Diabetic must Monitor blood glucose Test urine Take insulin 8-12 oz fluid every hour Use easilty digested foods Call MD if unable to eat for 24 hr |
hyperglycemia | Dawn phenomenon Somogyi phenomenon Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA): type 1 Hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS) :type 2 |
hypoglycemia | Blood sugar below 70 mg/dL Signs and symptoms from compensatory automonmic nervous system response and impaired cerebral function Manifestations vary, esp. in older adults Onset sudden: blood Glucose 45-60 |
chronic complications | Cardiovascular system Coronary artery disease (CAD) Hypertension Cerebrolvacular (CVA) Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) Diabetic retinopathy Diabetic nephropathy Diabetic neuropathy Mood alterations Increased susceptibility to infection |
complications of the feet | High risk for amputation Teaching important Wear shoes, well fitting Avoid traumas Look at feet every day Do not self treat—see MD and/or podiatrist Wear white, cotton socks |
Nursing interventions | Risk for impaired skin integrity Risk for infection Risk for injury Sexual dysfunctin Ineffective coping Deficient knowledge: self management |
