Question
Answer
DM dx criteria   [A1c ≥6.5% ; FPG ≥ 126 mg/dL; 2 hour GTT ≥ 200 mg/dL (75g load); or RPG ≥ 200 mg/dL] PLUS DM sxs (polyuria, polydipsia, wt loss, blurred vision)  
🗑
Alert Values: FBS (female)   < 40 and > 400 mg/dL  
🗑
Prediabetes / impaired fasting glucose (IFG) lab value:   FPG 100 - 125 mg/dL  
🗑
Values assoc w/ diabetic retinopathy   FBS 126 mg/dL; 2 hr GTT 200 mg/dL; HgbA1c of 7%  
🗑
Created when proinsulin splits into insulin & this product   C-peptide (connecting peptide); used mostly in newly diagnosed diabetics  
🗑
C-peptide: Type 1 diabetes:   decreased levels  
🗑
C-peptide: Type 2 diabetes:   normal or high levels  
🗑
C-peptide: can be used to identify:   gastrinoma spread or malingering (low C-peptide with hypoglycemia may reflect abuse of insulin)  
🗑
Glucose Testing: Urine: Requires:   normal renal glucose threshold  
🗑
Fasting blood glucose (FPG or FBS): lab testing requires:   No caloric intake for at least 8 hours  
🗑
Types of stress that increase glucose   trauma, acute illness, general anesthesia, burns  
🗑
2 hour GTT Interp: FPG (mg/dL)   Normal GTT <100; Impaired Glucose Tolerance 100-125; DM ≥ 126  
🗑
2 hour GTT Interp: 2 hrs after glucose load   Normal GTT <140; Impaired Glucose Tolerance 140-199; DM ≥ 200  
🗑
3 hour GTT Interp: Normal   Fasting <95 mg/dL ; 1 hr <180 mg/dL; 2 hr <155 mg/dL; 3 hr <140 mg/dL  
🗑
3 hour GTT Interp: Abnormal =   2 or more values above reference range  
🗑
Diabetic control correlates highly with:   pt education & motivation  
🗑
HbA1c: In normal people:   3-6% of hemoglobin is glycosylated in the form A1c  
🗑
HbA1c: Normalizes within:   within 3 weeks of normoglycemic levels  
🗑
HbA1c & RBCs:   Older RBCs have higher HbA1c levels; pts w/ episodic or chronic hemolysis who have larger proportion of young RBCs might have spuriously low levels  
🗑
If HbA1c if > 7% :   adjust therapy  
🗑
HbA1c: If good DM control:   check HbA1c 1-2 times yearly  
🗑
HbA1c: If suboptimal DM control:   check HbA1c every 3 months  
🗑
Fructosamine =   glycated albumin / serum protein (1.5-2.4 mmol/L when serum albumin is 5 g/L)  
🗑
Fructosamine reflects:   hyperglycemic period within the last few weeks  
🗑
Fructosamine gives info about:   short term glycemic control  
🗑
Fructosamine: useful for:   patients with chronic hemolytic anemias that cause shortened RBC life span; Limited utility in pts w/ low serum albumin (nephrotic state or hepatic disease): poss falsely low  
🗑
DKA: lab values   Hyperglycemia > 250 mg/dL or glycosuria 4+ ; Acidosis with blood pH < 7.3; Serum bicarb < 15 mEq/L; Serum positive for ketones  
🗑
Test for DM Nephropathy:   urine microalbumin; more sensitive than dipstick protein  
🗑
Urine microalbumin: May use:   albumin:creatinine (A:C) ratio  
🗑
Urine microalbumin: Correlates with:   nocturnal systolic blood pressure  
🗑
T1DM ID’d by:   sero autoimmune markers of pancreatic islet dysfn and genetic markers  
🗑
impaired fasting glucose =   FBS = 100 - 125 mg/dL  
🗑
impaired glucose tolerance (at 2 hrs) =   140-199 mg/dL 2 hrs after OGTT (75 g oral glu)  
🗑
Polyuria can be caused by what abnormal labs?   Hyperglycemia. Hypokalemia  
🗑
