Q

How to avoid nocturnal hypoglycemia when using long acting insulin

A

Give long acting insulin at bedtime to that at the peak of the insulin action as glucose levels rise in the morning due to growth hormone and cortisol secretion

32
Q

When is bicarbonate supplementation done in DKA?

A

pH less than 7.0

33
Q

What is the fluid replacement in DKA?

A

2-3 L in first 3 hours or 10-20 ml/ Kg in first 3 hrs

PNSS

34
Q

Is there serum potassium level requirement in giving insulin?

A

Replace serum potassium if less than 3.3 ml/dl

35
Q

Why is PNSS replaced with D5. 045 if CBG equal to less than 250 mg/dl

A

To avoid hyperchloremia

36
Q

mechanism behind the chronic complications of hypeglycemia

A
  1. formation of advanced glycosylation end products and non enzymatic glycosylation of proteins 2. increased glucose metabolism via sorbitol pathway using the enzyme aldose reductase 3. increased formation of diacylglycerol leading to activation of protein kinase C 4. increased flux through the hexosamine
37
Q

unifying mechanism in chronic DM complications

A

increased production of reactive oxygen species or superoxide in the mitochondria

38
Q

play an important role in some diabetes related microvascular complications

A

growth factors

Q

Landmark trial provided definitive proof that reduction in chronic hyperglycemia can prevent complication of T1DM

True.

65
Q

most specific modality in assessing diabetic foot ulcer

A

MRI

66
Q

interventions with demonstrated efficacy in diabetic foot ulcers

A

men more than 50 and women more than 60

73
Q

Aspirin for primary prevention in DM

A

age more than 50; increased CV risk of more than 10% OR at least one risk factor (hypertension, dyslipidemia, smoking, family history, or albuminuria

74
Q

most common form of diabetic neuropathy

A
