168-169 DM Flashcards
DM dx
> 126 fasting
200 PG
(impaired >100-125, 140-200)
Hb A1C
attachment of glucose to hemoglobin
RBC last ~120 days so good marker
type I DM cause
autoimmune destruction of B cells in pancreas
dep of exogenous insulin
ketosis under basal conditions
type 2 DM causes
insulin resistance w/ decreased insulin release
type I DM - age and presentation
10-14 years usually
polyuria, weight loss, fatigue
type I DM - HLA, what causes disease, markers?
DR3 and DR4
protection with DR2, DR5, DQB1
T-cell mediated disease (b cell antigens to lymph node and activate T cells)
abs present, but not cause –> dx and predicts disease though before
DM 1 - islet specific autoantibodies
islet cell abs (ICA) Glutamic acid decarboxylase abs (GADA) insulinoma associated 2 abs (IA2A) insulin abs (IAA) ZnT8 abs
at what point does DM 1 present?
late in course of disease - need a large amount of destruction of B cells
lack of insulin affect
liver releases glucose from glycogen and amino acids from muscle AND fat broken down in glycerol and FFA (glycerol –> G6P, FFA –> acetyl CoA –> acetoacetyl CoA –> ketones –> lower pH)
glucose is lost in urine because GLUT4 isn’t inserted into muscle and fat membranes –> polyuria and polydipsia
Rx for diabetic ketoacdisosis
immediate - IV insulin, fluid, electrolytes
after recovery - restore nitrogen and electrolytes
IM vs IV insulin
IV insulin is fast acting, IM takes hours to take affect –> insulin will correct low pH on its own usually
electrolytes with diabetic keptacidosis
potassium - most inside cells; acidosis causes K to leave cell in exchange for H+ coming in - tries to dry pH down
lose K in urine
as acidosis is corrected, K falls rapdily as it goes back into cell
need to add K quickly in Rx
DM2 - insulin? ketoacidosis? appearance? dx age?
not completely dep on exogenous insulin –> not prone to ketoacidosis
usually obese –> increases insulin resistance
dx > 40 usually
what causes hyperglycemia in DM2
insulin resistance (decreased GLUT4 uptake) + impaired insulin secretion (increases glucose production by liver) –> hyperglycemia
B cells response to insulin resistance?
obese people get hyperglycemia –> relative insulin deficiency beceause can’t secret enough insulin to lower glucose levels
