Question
Answer
Gestational diabetes is caused by   increased counterregulatory hormones (estrogen/progesterone/growth hormone)  
🗑
Gestational diabetes left untreated   macrosomia  
🗑
Onset of gestational diabetes   24th-28th week of pregnancy  
🗑
Diabetes HA1c   >6.5%  
🗑
Diabetes fasting glucose diagnosis   >126 mg/dL  
🗑
Diabetes random blood glucose   >200 mg/dL plus polyuria, polydipsia, unexplained weight loss  
🗑
OGTT   2 hour >200 mg/dL  
🗑
Which diabetes test can’t be used for gestational? And why?   HA1c b/c more RBCs (would be artificially low)  
🗑
Prediabetes HA1c   5.7-6.4  
🗑
Prediabetes fasting glucose   >100 <126  
🗑
Prediabetes OGTT   >140 <200  
🗑
Type 1 risk factor   human leukocyte antigen; triggered by infections or allergies, breastfeeding is protective  
🗑
Hypoglycemia   <70 mg/dL, cold sweats, shakiness, risk for seizures  
🗑
Peripheral polyneuropathy   crushing pain in feet, shortening of Achilles tendon, loss of tendon reflexes, can cause gangrene due to lost feeling  
🗑
Clear insulin   short acting (like meal-stimulated insulin)  
🗑
Buffered insulin   long acting (like basal insulin)  
🗑
v-go   disposable insulin delivery system; one button for basal, another button for 2U fast acting at one time  
🗑
afrezza   inhalant form of insulin  
🗑
incretin therapy   (amylin) polypeptide neuroendocrine hormones; enhances insulin action, suppresses glucagon secretion, slows gastric emptying, promotes satiety (late type 2 or type 1)  
🗑
DPP IV inhibitors   oral inhibitor of enzyme that degrades incretins; approved for type 2  
🗑
Injectable enhancers of insulin action   inhibit glucagon secretion and hepatic glucose output, delays gastric emptying, promotes satiety and weight loss  
🗑
SGLT2 inhibitors   causes blood glucose to be eliminated through urine leading to negative energy balance which can help w/ weight loss (specific to kidney to intestine unaffected)  
🗑
Alpha-glycosidase inhibitors   slows digestion of starch  
🗑
Slow release glucose   glucerna type, uncooked corn starch  
🗑
Bromocryptine mezylate   oral dopamine receptor agonist provides dopamine pulse to brain (preservation and induction of normal insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism)  
🗑
Continuous glucose monitoring   average reading every 5 minutes (calibrated w/ finger pricks)  
🗑
Caveat w/ continuous monitoring   not to replace standard monitoring, just to see trends, not reimbursed by medicare  
🗑
Most important factors in developing eating plan type 1   amt of CHO and insulin response  
🗑
Replace complex CHO w/ sucrose?   won’t affect control, but nutrient dense CHO optimal  
🗑
Fructose from fruit vs. sucrose   may result in better glycemic control than sucrose  
🗑
Sodium   <2300 mg, less w/ HTN  
🗑
Fiber   follow same recommendations for public, does not need to be subtracted from CHO  
🗑
Nonnutritive sweeteners   potential to reduce overall calories  
🗑
Alcohol   1 drink/day women 2/day men (may put person at risk for hypoglycemia if taking insulin/insulin secretagogues)  
🗑
Decrease protein w/ kidney failure?   probably not because it doesn’t slow progression nor improve CVD  
🗑
Initial CHO strategy type 1   constant carbohydrate  
🗑
Initial CHO strategy type 2   plate method  
🗑
Dairy CHO per serving   12g  
🗑
Starch CHO per serving   15g  
🗑
Veg CHO per serving/exchange   5g  
🗑
Calculate CHO:insulin ratio   500/TDD (i.e. 500/25=1*20)  
🗑
Honeymoon insulin   as soon as provide insulin, pancreas begins to make it again for a short time (common in children)  
🗑
Shortcut to determine TDD insulin   body weight (lbs)/4  
🗑
Rule of 1500   1500/TDD= amt 1U will lower BG in mg/dL  
🗑
Rule of 1800   amt 1U analog insulin will lower BG in mg/dL  
🗑
Dawn effect   check BG at 3am; if normal or high, increase evening intermediate/long acting  
🗑
Smogyi effect   check BG at 3am; if low decrease evening intermediate or long acting or have a snack  
🗑
2 general rules for long term insulin adjustment   don’t change >2-3 U at a time, don’t adjust more than every 3 days  
🗑
2 reasons for hyperglycemic coma   untreated diabetes, illness/stress  
🗑
4 reasons for hypoglycemic coma   missed meals/snacks, alcohol, unexpected exercise, errors in dosage/drug interactions  
🗑
hyperosmolar non-ketotic coma   critically ill with T2DM, BG >1000 mg/dL, 50% mortality rate  
🗑
hypoglycemic unawareness   neuropathy, lack CNS symptoms  
🗑
bariatric surgery   near normalization of BG in 45-95% of cases  
🗑
BG in hospitalized non-critically ill patients   <140 pre-meal, <180 random  
🗑
