Q

what are some risks of exercise in individuals with diabetes?

A
  • hypoglycemia
    -possible ketoacidosis if poor BG control before exercise especially with HIE
  • hypertensive BP response during exercise
    -orthostatic hypotension post exercise
    -MI, arrythmia, sudden death
  • aggravation of retinopathy or nephropathy
  • MSK injury with neuropathy

Q

what are benefits of exercise for individuals with diabetes?

A
  • improved glycemia control
  • increased insulin sensitivity
  • increased exercise tolerance
  • reduced risk of developing microvascular disease such as retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy

Q

what are absolute contraindications to exercise and what are the symptoms to look out for?

A
  • hypoglycemia (<70mg/dL): shakiness, weakness, abnormal sweating, nervousness, anxiety, tingling of mouth and fingers, and hunger, pale skin, clumsy, behavior changes

Q

what are relative contraindications to exercise that require close BG monitoring?

A
  • 70 to 100mg/dL= SNACK (15g every hour for mod intensity, 20-50g for vig intensity)
  • 100 to 300mg/dL= PROCEED (if exercise is >2hours you need increased carbohydrate intake)
    ->300mg/dL and oral meds= TRIAL 10-15mins and recheck BG (BG rises= STOP) (BG drops= recheck every 10-15 mins)
  • > 300mg/dL and insulin= CHECK ketones (+ ketones AVOID ACTIVITY) (- ketones CHECK frequently)

Q

what is the common presentation of charcot foot?

A

-occurs with severe peripheral neuropathy and repeated trauma
- loss of protective sensation results in abnormal response to repeated injury and severe destruction of the foot architecture
- observed unilaterally and typically red, hot, swollen, and flat

Q

what is type 1 DM?

A
