diabetes Flashcards
T/F: hopsitalized patients that have DM are more likely to contract COVID than others without DM
T
cells in the pancreas that produce insulin
beta cells
cells in the pancreas that produce glucagon
alpha cells
absolute deficiency of insulin production
T1DM
complication of T1DM
DKA
abnormally high glucose due to insulin resistance &/or impaired insulin secretion
T2DM
complication of T2DM
HHS
s/s DM
polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia, fatigue, blurred vision, tinging/numbness in hands/feet, dry skin, slow wound healing, recurrent infections
normal HbA1C
<5.7%
1 carb exchange =

T/F: exercise has no impact on lowering blood glucose levels or CVD risk
F

HbA1C
____ unit(s) of insulin for every 15g carbs

complication of insulin administration
hypoglycemia
hypoglycemia is BG under
70
s/s hypoglycemia
headache, diaphoresis, shakiness, dizziness, confusion, hunger, pallor
DKA s/s:
hyperglycemia, metabolic acidosis, dehydration, electrolyte loss, kussumal respirations, fruity smelling breath
