DM 1 Flashcards
What is DM T1a vs T1b?
1a: Autoimmune etiology
1b: No evidence of autoimmunity
WHat are the genes that predispose you to T1 DM?
HLA-DR3
DQB
DR4
What are the compoonents of the immue process?
Innate: Consistent for all attacks -epi -phago -killer -complement -cytokines Adaptive: Specific to the attack -Lymphocytes ---Humoral ---Cellular (T cells)
What are the antibodies involved in T1 DM?
Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase antibody (GAD65)
Insulin Ab (IAA)
Islet Cell Ab (ICA)
Tyrosine Phosphatase (IA-2 or ICA512)
What are the environmental factors that affect risk for T1 DM?
Hygeine Hypothesis Perinatal Factors Viruses Diet (Cows milk and cerial) Protection by exposure to immune mediated diseases in childhood Vit D and BF protective
How is T1 DM diagnosed?
Family History of T1 or Autoimmune disorders Age: Childhood and adolescence Clinical Presentation OGTT (oral glucose tolerance test) DKA C-Peptide Antibodies?
What are the signs of DKA?
Dehydration, acidosis, Low BP, orthostasis, tachycardia, acetone smell, dec Temp
Hyperglycemia
Low Bicarb and Low serum pH
Serum Ketones
WHat is the Tx of DKA?
Aggressive volume resuscitation
Correct hyperglycemia
Replace Electrolytes
Treat underlying cause
What are the Treatment goals in T1 DM?
Normoglycemia: pre/post meal Normal A1C Normal Growth in children Tx of Cardiac Risk factors -BP -Lipids -Smoking
What are the forms of insulin therapy in T1DM?
Basal
Bolus/Rapid insulin: meal or stress needs
Pumps
Pramlitide
What are the Doses of Insulin in multiple daily injections?
Total Requiremet in T1 DM: .6U/Kg
Basal Insulin: 0.2-0.3 U/Kg
What is the purpose of an Insulin Pump in T1DM?
Continuous subcu insulin infusion
Best way to mimic basal and bolus insulin
Only Shorter acting insulin used in pumps
What are the pros/cons of a pump?
Adv: improvement in frequent and nocturnalhypoglycemia, flexibility in timing meals, improved compliance
Disad: Cost, psych factors, tethered at all times
What is Pramlitide?
Mimcs Amylin Slows GI transit Dec Glucagon Dec Appetitie Net effect is better post meal control and often weight loss
What is CGMS?
Allows monitoringglucoseevery few minutes. Home use
Define problems with glucose management
