Question
Answer
Insulin are classified as   Antidiabetic agents.  
🗑
Whats the function of insulin   insulin functions to transport glucose into the cell and in the liver releases glucose into the blood.  
🗑
List the prototypes of insulin   injectable and oral  
🗑
Beta cells secrete   hypoglycemia hormone in cells.  
🗑
Delta cells release   somatostatin-a hormone that inhibits both glucagon and insulin.  
🗑
F cells synthesize and secrete   pancreatic polypetides used in digestion.  
🗑
Describe the functions of insulin   Regulates carbohydrte metabolism. Helps regulate fat and protein metabolism. Results in lower blood glucose.  
🗑
Describe the function of liver inregards to insulin   uptake and storage of glucose as glycogen, excess glucose is stored as fat, suppresses the liver producing glucose.  
🗑
Active insulin must bind to   cell receptor sites.  
🗑
Type 1 diabetics   insulin replaces hormone insulin normally produced in pancreas.  
🗑
Type 2 diabetics   when diet/wt control have failed to maintain blood glucose levels.  
🗑
Insulin may also be used by altered heath states like   pregnancy, surgery, trauma, infection, renal, liver, endocrine dysfunction.  
🗑
Insulin is necessary for normal   carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolism.  
🗑
Sources of insulin   commercially available. Sometimes indivdually formulated for use in infants with diluents.  
🗑
Injectable insulin is used with   Type I, occassionally type II, and some gestational diabetes.  
🗑
Different types and species of insulin have   different pharmacological properties.  
🗑
Human insulin now is preferred for   pregnant women or individuals expected to use insulin only intermittently, diabetic women considering pregnancy, individuals with allergies or immue resistance to animal-derived insulins or intialating insulin therapy.  
🗑
pharmacodynamics   insulin is required to provide  
🗑
Insulin controls   storage and metabolism of carbo, proteins, and fat.  
🗑
Insuln converts   glucose to glycogen in the liver.  
🗑
insulin's absorption varies by   type and route of medication.  
🗑
How must insulin be injected (where) when GI enzymes destroy insulin   oral.  
🗑
When using SC or needles for insulin pump, make sure to   rotate sites.  
🗑
Insulin contraindications   hypersensitivity or insulin resistance (requiring change in insulin type).  
🗑
Insulin is cautioned with   children, elderly, and pregnant.  
🗑
Insulin interacts with   glucocorticoids and thiazide diuretics (incl. glood glucose). Alcohol increases insulin effect; betablocerks mask hypoglycemia.  
🗑
Patients response to insulin changes how pt responds to   other drugs, can produce side effects.  
🗑
Variables to consider with insulin   insulin type, injection technique and site, insulin antibodies, somogyl effect and dawn phenomenon. Illness or high stress, hypo and hyperglycemic states.  
🗑
Humalog onset   10-15 min.

🗑
Patient education for hypoglycemia   tachycardia, irritability, restlessness, excessive hunger, diaphoresis, depression, blood sugar less than 60mg/dl  
🗑
Patient education for hyperglycemia   polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia, wt loss, fatigue, frequent infections, blood sugr above 99 mm/dl when fasting.  
🗑
Lente Humulin L onset   1-3 hours
