diabetes

Question 1

type 1 vs type 2

Answer 1

type 1 diabetes is a genetic condition that often shows up early in life, and type 2 is mainly lifestyle-related and develops over time.
With type 1 diabetes, your immune system is attacking and destroying the insulin-producing cells in your pancreas.
With type 2 diabetes, the body either doesn’t produce enough insulin, or it resists insulin.

Question 2

hypoglycemic reaction

Answer 2

headache
dizziness
irritability
tachycardia
excessive hunger and sweating
Blood glucose > 70 mg/dL
 Initial response is parasympathetic stimulation,
followed by “fight-or-flight” reaction
 Breakdown of fat and glycogen to release glucose
 Pancreas releases glucagon to increase glucose
and somatostatin

Question 3

insulin

Answer 3

promotes cellular uptake of glucose
comverts glucose into glycogen promotes energy storage
glucose and k+ move into the cells
glycemic control in type 1 DM, type 2 DM and gestational DM
used for type 2 DM under stressful conditions when oral meds, diet and exercise cannot control BG
hyoglycemia, hyperglycemia and ketoacidosis Known allergy to any insulin and current status
of pregnancy or lactation
Exercise amount, skin, Glucose levels, and
appropriate lab values
