Chronic Exam #1

Question
Answer
Beta cells   produce insulin (hormone) that decreases BS  
🗑
Alpha cells   produce glucagon (hormone) that increases BS  
🗑
Primary action of insulin   active transport of glucose into muscle and adipose tissue cells to lower blood glucose  
🗑
other roles of insulin   regulates rate of CHO metabolism, promotes glycogen storage in the liver, inhibits fat breakdown, inhibits protein breakdown  
🗑
action os glucagon   raises BS by promoting conversion of glycogen to glucose  
🗑
Type I Diabetes   IDDM (insulin dependent) "Juvenile diabetes", total lack of insulin production (autoimmune process that destroys beta cells), onset usually younger than 30  
🗑
Type II Duabetes   NIDDM (non-insulin dependent) "maturity onset diabetes" inadequate production of insulin or increased cellular resistance to the body's own insulin, slower onset, tend to be obese  
🗑
signs and symptoms of diabetes   3 Ps (polydipsia-excessive thirst, polyphagia-excessive hunger, polyuria-excessive urination), weight loss, fatigue, weakness, blurred vision, frequent infections  
🗑
Diagnostics of Diabetes   1.Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS)- norm 70-110, diagnosis >140 on 2 different occasions2. glycosylated hemoglobin (Hgb molecules combine with glucose to form glycohemoglobin which is stored by RBCs) normal value= 4-7%  
🗑
6 food groups of the exchange diet   starch/bread, protein/meat, dairy/milk, fruits, vegetables, fats  
🗑
distribution of calories   50-60% from carbs20-30% from fat20% from protein  
🗑
Type 2 Management   may be controlled with diet and exercise alone, or in combo with oral hyoglycemic agents, 20-30% require insulin during periods of stress  
🗑
Type I Management   require insulin therapy  
🗑
typesof insulin   rapid acting, short acting, intermediate acting, long acting, other  
🗑
Rapid-acting insulin   Humalog (lispro), clearonset- 10-15minspeak- 1hrduration- 2-4 hrs  
🗑
Short acting insulin   Regularonset- 1/2 hr-1hrpeak- 2-4 hrsduration- 5-7hrs  
🗑
Intermediate acting insulin   NPH, cloudyonset- 2-4hrspeak- 6-12 hrsduration- 18-24 hrs  
🗑
Long acting insulin   ultralenteonset- 6+ hrspeak- 18-24 hrsduration- 36 hrs  
🗑
other types of insulin   Lantus (glargine, clear, long acting, basic metabolic needs  
🗑
insulin preparation for mixed dose   1. add air to cloudy vial2. add air to clear vial3. draw out clear dose4. draw out cloudy dose to reach total dose  
🗑
absorption of insulin   mroe rapid from abdomen, then arms, then legs  
🗑
oral antidiabetic agents (types)   sulfonylureas, meglitinides, biguanides, glitazones, alpha-glucosidae inhibitors  
🗑
sulfonylureas   Glucatrol (Glipizide), Micronase (Glyburide)- stimulate beta cells to produce insulin and increase cellular receptivity  
🗑
meglitinides   Prandin (Repaglinide)- stimulate beta cells to produce insulin  
🗑
biguanides   Glucophage (Metformin)- WORK IN THE LIVER, increasw cellular receptivity to insulin and decrease hepatic production of glucose  
🗑
Glitazones   (Avandia) (Actos)- decrease insulin resistance by increasing receptor sensitivity (sensitizers)  
🗑
alpha glucosidase inhibitors   (work in intestine) (Precose)- delay digestion of complex CHO  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
