Diabetes Flashcards
FML
Pancreas Components
exocrine (80) acini glands
endocrine (20) islets of langerhans
Islets of Langerhans components/secretions
alpha cells: glucagon
beta cells: insulin
delta cells: somastatin
f cells: pancreatic polypeptide
Insulin primary FX
synthesis of glycogen/protein in liver/muscle
suppression of gluconeogenesis/glycogenlysis/lipolysis
glycolysis/glucose transport
Insulin Release Process
BG increases –> insulin released –> BG lowers
Glucagon Release Process
BG decreases –> glucagon released –> BG raises
Endocrine Hormones Fueling Metabolism
Glucagon cortisol growth hormone epinephrine norepinephrine
Post-absorptive (fasting) State
provides glucose for brain/nervous tissue
higher ratio of glucagon to insulin
hepatic glycogenolysis/gluconeogenesis
muscle oxidizes ffa
Absorptive State
insulin levels rise
stimulates glucose uptake into tissues
excess glucose stored as glycogen
Starvation State
glucagon levels elevated
hepatic gluconeogenesis
brain oxidizes ketones for energy
Type 1 Diabetes DKA
increased mobilization of free fatty acids –> increased hepatic synthesis of ketones
diabetic ketoacidosis
Type 2 Diabetes DKA
ketone bodies not sufficient for DKA
Type 2 Diabetes
can’t produce/respond to insulin
can’t use energy in food as well
Type 1 Diabetes
lack of insulin secretion (total or partial)
auto-immune (pancreatic beta cells destroyed)
no oral meds
Hyperglycemia acute symptoms
increased thirst/urination
weight loss
Monogenic DM
neonatal diabetes
maturity-onset diabetes of oung
Gestation DM onset/TX
during pregnancy
dietary TX, oral meds, exogenous insulin
hyperglycemia can lead to fetal/maternal complications
Prediabetes DX
impaired fasting glucose (100-125)
impaired glucose intolerance (144-199)
increased hemoglobine
Diabetes (nonpregnant) DX
Hemoglobin >6.5% increase
random serum glucose >200
FAsting serum glucose >126
Most common Type 1 DM
T-cell mediated autoimmune against beta cells
Type 1 DM etiology
childhood disease
genetic predisposition
viruses
cow’s milk proteins
Type 1 DM pathogeneisis
environmental triggers immune response
autobodies develop (honeymoon period)
insulin production ceases
Type 1 DM s/s
hyperglycemia (fasting BG >126 x2) polyuria polyphagia (hunger) polydipsia glucosuria weight loss fatigue n/v
Insulin aspart
onset/peak/lasts/admin
rapid acting
(15 min onset) (1-3 hr peak) (lasts 3-5 hrs)
SQ 5-10 min AC
must eat within onset
Insulin regular
onset/peak/lasts/admin
short-acting
(30-60 min onset)(2-5 hr peak)(lasts 5-8 hr)
SQ 30-60 min AC
Iv for DKA (only IVP)
Insulin isophane (NPH) onset/peak/lasts/admin
intermediate acting
(onset 1-2 hr)(peak 4-12 hrs)(lasts 12-18 h)
SQ 30 min before 1st/last meals
NEVER IVP
insulin detemir
onset/lasts/admin
long-acting
gradual onset over 24 hr (lasts 24 hrs)
SQ HS
