Q

mechanism by which insulin promotes fat storage

A

*Insulin promotes glucose into fat cells where it is broken down
*One of breakdown products is A-glycerophosphate,
combines with fatty acids which ultimately forms
triglycerides

24
Q

manifestations of type 1

A
  • Polyuria
  • Polydipsia
  • Polyphagia
  • Hyperglycemia
  • Glucosuria
25
Q

what is type 2 characterized by

A

hyperglycemia and insulin resistance

26
Q

what does type 2 result from

A

increased production of glucose by liver and

decreased uptake of glucose in liver, muscle and fat cells

27
Q

what is insulin resistance

A

higher than usual concentrations of

insulin are required

28
Q

general characteristics of type 2

A
  • Occurs at any age
  • Gradual onset
  • Less severe symptoms initially
  • Easier to control
  • More MIs and strokes
  • 90% of those with diabetes are Type 2
  • multifactorial
29
Q

risk factors associated with type 2

A

Family history

  • Obesity
  • Inactivity
  • Race/ethnicity
  • History of gestational DM
  • HTN
  • Metabolic Syndrome
30
Q

what is pre diabetes

A

at risk for developing diabetes, HD, stroke

31
Q

what is an impaired plasma glucose

A

2hr plasma glucose greater than 200

during an oral GTT

32
Q

what is prediabetes characterized by

A
HgA1C levels ( 6.5% or greater)
FBS: FBS greater than 126mg/dl
33
Q

normal HgA1C level

A

normal 4-6%

34
Q

how does diabetes confirmation testing work

A

Fasting Blood Sugar

  • No calories for 8 hours
  • Normal 100 mg/dl or less
  • Significant >100 but < 126 = impaired
35
Q

how is DM diagnosed

A

Two separate tests greater that 126 mg/dL

Or Casual BG of > 200 mg/dl with symptoms

36
Q

what is an oral glucose tolerance test

A
  • Most sensitive but has issues – cost, inconvenience, timely
  • Standard for DM
  • Diagnosis is made if 75 g for 2 hr test or 100 g for 3 hr test
37
Q

values of OGTT

A
  • Normal < 140 mg/dl
  • Significant >140 but <200
  • Diagnostic >200 mg/dl
38
Q

describe HbA1c

A

Shows average blood glucose levels during the previous
120 days (usually followed not more than 90 days at a
time)

39
Q

what is HbA1c used for other than diagnosis

A

to monitor control of DM

40
Q

values of HbA1c

A

*Normal 4-6%, level of 6.5% is enough to make a

diagnosis of diabetes, 5.7% to 6.49% is a high risk

41
Q

how to check effective control of DM

A

HbA1C <7, test urine for ketones and glucose

42
Q

Self Monitoring Blood Glucose (SMBG) for type 1

A

3-4x day for type 1

multiple pump injections

43
Q

Self Monitoring Blood Glucose (SMBG) for type 2

A

post prandial BG

44
Q

the length of time after given before insulin hits bloodstream and begins to lower blood glucose.

A

onset

45
Q

is the time during which insulin is at its maximum effectiveness at lowering blood glucose.

A

peak

46
Q

length of time insulin continues to lower blood glucose

A

duration

47
Q

can insulin be given orally

A

no

48
