Carboinsulin Flashcards
Insulin shock in diabetics is caused by?

Which of the following describes the treatment plans for a person with type 1 diabetes who practices intensive therapy?
a) The person cannot use a pump to deliver insulin.
b) The person uses one type of insulin one or two times daily.
c) The person must monitor blood glucose several times a day
c) The person must monitor blood glucose several times a day
How do you calculate the Insulin-to-Carbohydrate Ratio (ICR) for a patient using the rapidacting insulin rule?
500 / Total Daily Dose (TDD)
How do you calculate the Insulin-to-Carbohydrate Ratio (ICR) for a patient using short-acting insulin?
450 / Total Daily Dose (TDD)
How do you calculate the Insulin Sensitivity Factor (ISF) using the rapid-acting insulin rule?(ISF), or correction factor, determines how much 1 unit of insulin will lower blood glucose. This helps in adjusting insulin doses for correcting high blood glucose levels.
1800 / Total Daily Dose (TDD)
How do you determine the total daily dose (TDD) of insulin for a patient using their weight?
Weight * 0.55
Most normal weight adult patients with type 1 diabetes require 1 unit of insulin for what range of carbohydrate intake?
10 – 20 g CHO
Which of the following supplements is commonly considered for people with Type 1 diabetes to support overall health?
a) Vitamin C
b) Fish Oil (Omega-3 Fatty Acids) and mg
c) Calcium
d) Iron
b) Fish Oil (Omega-3 Fatty Acids) and mg

BG >250 – 600 , <320mOsm/kg
In the treatment of Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA), which nutrient is often supplemented due to its role in coagulation and potential deficiency during severe illness?
Vitamin K
In a patient with high blood glucose, indicating possible ketoacidosis, which mineral should be supplemented?
Potassium
patient using intensive insulin therapy is likely to follow a regimen that involves?
a) Twice-daily injections that combine short, intermediate, and long acting insulin in each injection
b) A mixture of intermediate and long acting insulin injected between meals
c) Multiple daily injections that supply basal insulin and precise insulin doses at each meal
c) Multiple daily injections that supply basal insulin and precise insulin doses at each meal
Long-acting insulin duration?
a) 2-4 hours
b) 4-8 hours
c) 8-12 hours
d) 12-24 hours
d) 12-24 hours
Diabetes insipidus is?
a) Characterized by urinary fructose excretion
b) A disease caused by high fructose ingestion
c) Caused by pituitary injury
c) Caused by pituitary injury
Normal fasting blood sugar (FBS) in a healthy adult is?
< 110 mg/dL
What is the range for fasting blood glucose levels indicative of pre-diabetes?
100-125 mg/dl (5.6-6.9 mmol/L)
