Question | Answer |
---|---|
Glycogen | Storage form of glucose |
Glycogenesis | Formation of Glycogen from Glucose |
Glycogenolysis | Breakdown of Glycogen into glucose |
Glycolysis | Glucose changed to get energy |
Gluconeogenesis | Glucose from fat or protein |
Where is glycogen made and stored? | made in the liver and the muscle. |
Where is insulin made? | Made in the beta cells of the Islet of Langerhams in the pancreas. |
What does insulin do? | insulin stimulates the transport of glucose through cell memberane, must be present for glucose to enter cells. |
How does insulin affect the blood glucose level? | It lowers the blood glucose. |
Where is Glucagon made? | Hormone. made in the Alpha Cells of the pancreas. |
Where are ketone bodies made? | Made in the liver |
what are ketone bodies made from? | excess fatty acid are partially metabolized into ketone bodies. the waste product from fatty acids is ketone bodies. |
Ketonuria | Ketone bodies in the urine |
Ketonemia | Ketone bodies in the blood. |
Ketoacidosis | blood Ph less than 7.35 due to ketone bodies |
Hyperglycemia | High blood glucose |
Hypoglycemia | Low blood glucose |
Glucosuria/Glycosuria | Glucose in the urine. |
Renal Threshhold | blood level above which glucose in the urine spill. (160-180 mg/dL. |
IDDM | Type 1 Juvenile Diabetes |
Age of onset of IDDM? | any, common in youth |
type of onset of IDDM? | Abrupt |
Symptoms of IDDM | Polydipsia, polyuria, polyphagia |
Endogenous insulin , IDDM | None |
Oral agents used for IDDM | N/A |
Genetic Susceptibility | Auto Immune distruction of Beta cells. |
NIDDM | Type II , Adult |
Age of onset of NIDDM | any, common in adults |
Type of onset of NIDDM | gradual |
Symptoms of Type II | sometimes none |
Genetic susceptibility | Familia, Beta cell exhaustion |
What type of diabetes has a tendency to get ketoacidosis | Type 1. Juvenile, difficult to control |
Which type of diabetes may be controlled by diet alone` | Type II |
what do diabetics metabolize instead of glucose? | Lipids, Fats |
What is retinopathy? | Sclerosis of retina from fatty deposits |
What are some complications of diabetes | Athersclerosis, CAD, retinopathy, PAD, poor wound healing, infection, neuropathy, nephropathy |
Insulin level for Diabetic coma | Low |
Blood glucose level for Diabetic coma | High |
Urine glucose, diabetic coma | yes |
Onset for Diabetic coma | hours to days |
Symptoms for diabetic coma | dry tongue/skin, lethargy |
Tx for diabetic coma | Insulin |
Insulin level for Insulin shock | High |
blood glucose for Insulin shock | Low |
Urine glucose? | NO |
Onset for Insulin Shock | Sudden |
Tx for Insulin shock | Sugar, Carbs |
what are symptoms of Hypoglycemia | same as insulin shock, tachycardia, shakey |
what is a fasting blood glucose sample? | No food or bev. 8-12 hours, |
OGGT | oral glucose tolerance test |
Samples taken for OGGT | fasting blood sugar, 1, 2,3 hours after drinking "glucola" |
Samples taken OGTT if hypoglycemia is suspected? | hours 4 and 5. |
Given the renal threshold and patient blood glucose level, how would you determine if glucose will be in the urine | Based on glucose level, renal threshold is 160-180 mg/dL |
How is a postprandial glucose test done? | after eating, draw fasting and 2 hour after a meal. |
What is a normal result for the 2 hour postprandial glucose test | Less than 140 mg/dL |
What does the HbA1C test measure? | hemoglobin A, combined with glucose |
Advantage of HbA1C? | reflects blood glucose over a three month period Normal values: 4-6%. |
