Question
Answer
type 1 diabetes   destruction of pancratic beta cellsjuvenile onsetunder 30  
🗑
the destruction of beta cells results in...   decreased insulin production by the liver, and fasting hyperglycemia.  
🗑
TYPE TWO DIABETES   insulin reistance and impaired insulin secretion.slow progressive glucose intolerancetreated with diet and exerciseoral agents can be used  
🗑
goal of diabetes treatment   normalize insulin activity and blood glucose levels to reduce the develpment of fascular and neuropathic complications.  
🗑
five components of diabetes   NUTRITION THERAPY, EXERCISE, MONITORING, PHARMACOLOGIC THERAPY, EDUCATION.  
🗑
NUTRITIONAL MANAGEMENT OF DIABETES   PROVIDING ALL ESSENTIAL FOOD CONSTITUENTS, MEETING ENERGY NEEDS, ACHIEVING AND MAINTAINING A REASONABLE WEIGHT, PREVENTING WIDE DAILY FLUCTUATIONS IN BLOOD GLUCOSE, DECREASING SERUM LIPID LEVELS, IF ELEVATED, TO REDUCE THE RISK FOR MACROVASCULAR DISEASE  
🗑
A1C   glycated hemoglobin-blood test that relfects average blood glucose levels over a period of 2-3 months.  
🗑
the longer the amount of glucose in the blood remains above normal..............   the more glucose binds to hemoglobin and the higher the glycated hemoglobin level becomes.  
🗑
if blood glucose is consistently high,   the test result is also elevated  
🗑
normal values of A1C test   4%-6%  
🗑
when blood glucose levels are elevated   glucose molecules attach to hemoglobin in red blood cells.  
🗑
onset of type 1   manifestations develop when pancreas can no longer produce insulin:* rapid onset of symptoms* ketoacidosis in ER  
🗑
DKA in type 1   absence of exogenous insulinlife threatening conditionmetabolic acidosis  
🗑
Etiology & physiology of type 2   pancreas continue to produce endogenous insulinbut is either insufficient or poorly used by the tissues  
🗑
onset of type 2   gradualperson may go years undetectedmarked hyperglycemia (500-1000 mg/dl)  
🗑
goals of diabetic management   * reduce symptoms* Promote well-being*Prevent acute complications*Delay onset and progression of long term complication (intensive control dramatically decreses vascular and neuropathic compolications.  
🗑
diabetes mellitus management   * Nutritional Management* Exercise*Self-monitoring of blood glucose*Drug therapy*Patient teaching  
🗑
hypoglycemia   low blood glucose level (<60mg/dL)less than 2.7 mmol/L  
🗑
Hyperglycemia   elevated blood glucose level; fasting level greater than 140 mg/dL(7.8 mmol/L)  
🗑
cause of morning hyperglycemia   not enough insulin  
🗑
cause of hypoglycemia   too much insulin  
🗑
manifestations of hypoglycemia   sweating, <br>tremor<br> tachycardia<br>palpitation<br> nervousness<br> hunger  
🗑
