Question
Answer
Group of diseases characterized by hyperglycemia   Diabetes Mellitus  
🗑
Hyperglycemia can be d/t defects in   Insulin secretion, Insulin action, Both  
🗑
Insulin functions r/t glucose   Transport, Metabolism, Stimulates storage, Inhibits breakdown, Signals liver to stop release  
🗑
Storage sites of glucose   Liver & muscles  
🗑
Other functions of insulin   Enhances storage of dietary fat in adipose tissue, Transport of amino acids into cells, Inhibits breakdown of protein and fat  
🗑
Type 1 DM d/t   Autoimmune destruction of Beta cells in pancreas  
🗑
2 factors causing Type 2 DM   Decreased sensitivity to insulin (resistance), Impaired beta cell function  
🗑
DM that can be controlled by diet   Type 2 DM  
🗑
Fasting blood glucose >   126 mg/dL  
🗑
Random glucose >   200 mg/dL  
🗑
Three P's r/t Clinical Manifestation of DM   Polyuria, Polydipsia, Polyphagia  
🗑
Polydipsia vs. Polyphagia   Dip:excessive thirst, Phagia:excessive eating  
🗑
Dietary goals r/t DM   Optimal nutrition, Meet energy needs, Reasonable weight, Prevent wide glucose fluctuations, Decrease serum lipids  
🗑
Diabetic ketoacidosis(DKA) caused by   Type I diabetes  
🗑
Main causes r/t DKA   Noncompliance w/insulin regimen, Illness/infection, Undiagnosed/untreated diabetes  
🗑
Hyperglycemic Hyperosmolar Nonketonic Syndrome(HHNS) caused by   Type II diaetes  
🗑
Complication r/t Diabetes can occur in anyone w/   Type I and Type II diabetes, Not only Pts using insulin  
🗑
Glucagon function   Stimulates liver to release glucose  
🗑
Pathophysiology effects r/t Type I diabetes   Decreased insulin production, Rampant glucose production by liver, Fasting hyperglycemia, Glucose not stored in liver  
🗑
Ketone bodies are byproducts of   Fat breakdown  
🗑
S/Sx r/t DKA   Abd pain, N/V, Hyperventilation, Acetone breath(fruity odor)  
🗑
Insulin problems r/t Type II diabetes   Insulin resistance, Impaired insulin secretion  
🗑
Primary treatment r/t Type II diabetes   Weight loss  
🗑
Main goal r/t Diabetes treatment   Normalize insulin activity and blood glucose levels, Reduce development of complications  
🗑
Glycated hemoglobin(A1C) reflects   Average blood glucose levels over the last 2-3 months  
🗑
A1C binds to   RBC's for the cells entire life  
🗑
Rapid-acting vs. Short-acting vs. Intermediate-acting vs. Very long-acting r/t Insulin names   R:Lispro, S:Regular, I:NPH, V:Lantus  
🗑
Rapid-acting vs. Short-acting vs. Intermediate-acting vs. Very long-acting r/t Onset period   R:15 min, S:30 min, I:2 hrs, V:1 hr  
🗑
Insulin regimens goal   Mimic normal pattern of insulin secretion d/t food intake and activity patterns  
🗑
Pt requirements r/t Complex insulin regimens   Commitment, Intensive education, Close follow-up w/health care team  
🗑
Complications r/t Insulin therapy   Local/systemic allergic reactions, Insulin lipodystrophy, Insulin resistance, Morning hyperglycemia  
🗑
3 types of Morning hyperglycemia   Dawn phenomenon, Insulin waning, Somogyi effect  
🗑
Alternative methods r/t Insulin delivery   Insulin pen, Jet injector, Insulin pump, Implantable insulin delivery, Pancreatic cell transplants  
🗑
First skills taught r/t Newly diagnosed diabetics   Needle insertion & insulin injection  
🗑
Absorption rates(Fastest to slowest) r/t Injections sites   Abd(fastest), arm, thigh, hip(slowest)  
🗑
Hypoglycemia r/t Blood glucose level   Less than 60 mg/dL  
🗑
Hypoglycemia causes   Too much insulin or physical activity, Too little food  
🗑
Mild vs. Moderate vs. Severe hypoglycemia r/t Manefestations   Mild:adrenergic symptoms(sweating, tremor, tachycardia, hunger), Moderate:adrenergic symptoms plus some CNS impairities, S:extremely impaired CNS function(Pt needs assistance)  
🗑
Immediate treatment r/t Hypoglycemia   15g fast-acting concentrated CHO  
🗑
Emergency treatment r/t Hypoglycemia   1 mg glucagon  
🗑
Time r/t Snacking   Peak insulin activity  
🗑
3 main clinical feature r/t DKA   Hyperglycemia, Dehydration/electrolyte loss, Acidosis  
🗑
DKA treatment factors that reduce serum K levels   Rehydration, Insulin administration  
🗑
Precipitating events r/t HHNS   Acute illness, Medications exacerbating hyperglycemia, Recent history of polyuria w/adequate fluid intake  
🗑
Ketosis & acidosis r/t HHNS   Generally do not occur  
🗑
Manifestations r/t HHNS   Hypotension, Severe dehydration, Tachycardia, Variable neurologic signs  
🗑
Initial treatments r/t DKA & HHNS   Fluid replacement, Correct electrolyte imbalances, Insulin administration  
🗑
Cause r/t Diabetic retinopathy   Changes in blood vessels of retina  
🗑
Autonomic neuropathy r/t Adrenergic symptoms of hypoglycemia   Symptoms are diminshed/absent  
🗑
Subtle sign r/t Hypoglycemia   Numbness around mouth, Difficulty concentrating  
🗑
Manifestations r/t Sudomotor neuropathy   Decreased/absence of sweating in extremities, Increased upper body sweating  
🗑
