Q

Why do you get those 3 ps for diabetes?

A

Because you have too much sugar in your blood instead of in your cells

So sugar dehydrates you when it’s in your blood stream, so drink lots of water ( thristy )

And you pee it out so much
Because of how much water you end up drinking

And your cells are hungry for the sugar so that sends a signal to brain to “eat” more

Q

What is a really big factor of diabetes type 2?

A

It’s a progressive type of diabetes in which insulin can slowly stop being produced

( over time you lose ability to produce insulin, so 80% of your pancreas doesn’t even work when you get diagnosed with diabetes type 2 sadly )

Q

Why do patients with diabetes type 2 feel like failures ?

A

We have to remember that diabetes type 2 is progressive and the diagnose is usually really late, with already 80% of their pancreas already not producing insulin.

Patients can follow good exercise and diet and still again, it’s progressive that it just gets worse

So oral medication and insulin is usually increased and needed

Shorter acting insulin
Used to control blood glucose during and immediately after meals

Rapid & short acting

86
Q

What is basal insulin regimen?

A

Longer duration of action

A

Basal insulin

89
Q

Notes
Basal Bolus regimen
- long acting insulin ( once a day )
- then you do a Bolus for every meal

Check your blood sugar and sliding scale
Or calculate the insulin

A
90
Q

Can you mix your long insulin?

A

NO!!

91
Q

What is sliding scale insulin dosing?

A

Reacting to a blood sugar that’s high
Usually used in the hospital

We check blood sugar before Meal, then we calculate the blood sugar and based on that, how much unit we give

92
Q

Can we use rapid and short in the same syringe?

Can we mix it with intermediate?

A

Yes

93
Q

NPH is cloudy!!
Needs to be rolled ( only insulin that’s cloudy!)

Long acting is by itself

Rapid food need to be present

Short acting gives great risk of hypoglycemia

NPH can be mixed with rapid or short acting

A
94
