13
Q

Effect of exercise on insulin and glucose

A

Exercise increases glucose uptake by muscle cells
insulin is not regulated/ lowered thus impaired endogenous glucose synthesis results in hypoglycemia (low blood levels of glucose)

16
Q

A glycemic goal of A1c ___ is adequate for most patients.

A

7-8%

17
Q

Statin therapy and _____ improve cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in type 2 diabetics

A

smoking cessation

primary treatment goals

18
Q

Pt is has been taking Sulfonylurea (Glipizide) for glycemic control for 10 years and is suddenly experiencing rising A1c levels despite no changes. Reason?

A

Beta cell burnout
5-15 years it stops Sulfonylureas stop helping the patient control sugar levels.

Switch to another med like SGLT2i or GLP1-angonist

19
Q

List 2 long acting Insulins to manage fasting glucose levels

A

Glargine (Lantus)

Detemir (once a day)

20
Q

A

CCB

21
Q

Best HTN control for pts w/o DM

A

Chlorithalidone (Thiazide Diuretic)

22
Q

These medications decrease mortality in DM patients with CVD

A

GLP-1

23
Q

A

40-70
45

24
Q

or less than ___
based on ACC/AHA guidelines.

A

140/90 (ideal)

130/80

25
Q

(4) meds that convey a benefit for all-cause mortality, independent of glucose control.

Exenatide (Byutta)
Empagliflozin (Jardiance)

26
Q

In type 2 diabetes, self glucose monitoring does not improve hemoglobin A1c levels or reduce complications, but does result in more symptomatic ____.

A

hypoglycemic events

27
Q

___ & ___ together are effective in preventing type 2 diabetes in patients with impaired glucose tolerance, and in patients who are overweight or obese.

A

Lifestyle

A

50-70

30
Q

If non-insulin therapy does not achieve glycemic goals, ___ should be initiated.

A

insulin

31
Q
