lack beta cell activity - absent insulin

associated with HLA

insulin-dependent

32
Q

DM II

A

defective insulin secretion
tissue resistance
increased hepatic glucose

with obesity

strong fam hx

33
Q

therapeutic insulin subQ

A

1 doesn’t match normal up and down of insulin levels

2 goes to peripheral circulation, instead of portal circulation

34
Q

detemir

A

long acting insulin - binds albumin

35
Q

glargine

A

long acting insulin - acidic pH

36
Q

lispro, aspart, glulisine

A

rapid acting insulin - 2AA substitution - faster than regular insulin

37
Q

intermediate insulin

A

crystalline suspension

38
Q

NPH

A

added protamine, Zn, phosphate buffer

intermediate acting insulin - crystalline suspension

39
Q

rapid acting insulin

A

action - 15 minutes

taken immediately before meal

lower risk of hypoglycemia**

40
Q

IV insulin

A

only regular, aspart, glulisine, lispro

rapid acting and regular**

IV or subQ pump

41
Q

neutral protamine hagedorn

A

NPH insulin - intermediate acting

complex with protamine and zinc

42
Q

changes in subQ blood flow

A

important indicator in variability of response to insulin

43
Q

exubera

A

inhalation insulin

44
Q

CSII

A

continuous subQ insulin infusion

timed throughout day
-regular or rapid acting

45
Q

measure of long term hyperglycemic control

A

HbA1C < 6.5%

46
Q

IIT

A

intensive insulin therapy

basal - long acting QD

bolus - rapid acting before meal

47
Q

split mix insulin therapy

A

mix dose of NPH/regular insulin

48
Q

adverse effect insulin

A

hypoglycemia

more rigorous attempt to achieve euglycemia - greater risk hypoglycemia

49
Q

counter-regulatory hormones

A

epi, glucagon, cortisol, GH

dominant - glucagon

type I DM - long duration - glucagon secretion becomes deficient and epi becomes dominant

50
Q

tx of hypoglycemia

A

ingestion glucose

severe - glucagon injection or IV glucose

51
Q

lipoatrophy and lipohypertrophy

A

subQ fat at site of insulin injection

patient advised to rotate injection site

52
Q

DKA tx

A

IV insulin continuous infusion

also - replacement of fluid and electrolytes

53
Q

perioperative and childbirth

A

when diabetic patient gets IV insulin - more control

54
Q

drug-induced hypoglycemic state

A

ethanol
beta antagonist
salicylates

ethanol - inhibitor of gluconeogenesis

55
Q

inhibit insulin secretion

A

phenytoin
clonidine

56
Q

inhibit insulin secretion

A

antihyperglycemic effect

does not cause hypoglycemia**

  • inhibits gluconeogenesis

also has lipid lowering effect

62
Q

lipid lowering effect

A
