Q

pathology of hyperosmolar hyperglycemic non-ketotic state

A

hyperglycemia -> osmotic diuresis -> dehydration -> increased osmolality -> decrease in free fluid -> hyperglycemia
ONLY IN DMII, type I would get DKA

18
Q

Diabetic nephropathy

A

focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS)
screen for albuminurea early, later proteinuria
can lead to nephrotic syndrome or end-stage renal disease and dialysis

19
Q

what CN are often involoved in DM neuropathy

A

III
IV
VI
diploplia

20
Q

femoral n neuropathy

A

diabetic amyotrophy
severe pain on front of thigh and quads
may last for months or even years

21
Q

charcot foot

A
deformity dt neuropathy -> collapse of arch 
loss of sensation
initial trauma
repetitive traumas (mircrofractures)
not a vascular issue
22
Q

autonomic neuropathy

A

NO Tx, most frustrating symptoms

  • postural hypotension
  • diabetic gastroparesis (Dx with GES)
  • diarrhea/constipation
  • neurogenic bladder (urinary retention, incontinence)
  • impotence
  • profuse sweating/temp dysregulation
23
Q

acclerated atherosclerosis in DM dt

A
hyperglycemia
hyperlidemia
abnormalities of platelet adhesion
HTN
oxidative stress
inflammation
24
Q

CV complications

A

heart disease (2-4x more likely )
Stroke
PVD

25
Q

derm in DM

A

pyogenic infections- boils
yeast
necrobiosis lipoidica diabetorum

26
Q

factors which affect glycoemoglobin

A
  • conditions that shorten erythrocyte life span will falsely decrease hA1C
  • diseases with lack of new reticulocytes with falsely raised hA1C (aplastic anemia)
27
Q

goal for HA1C

A

7

28
Q

oral meds

A
secretagogues (SUs, and nonSUs)
incretins
metformin
TZDs
alpha-glycosidase inhibiotors
29
Q

injectable meds

A

insulins
pramlintide
incretins

30
Q

down fall of SUs

A

tolerance

50% failure in 5 yrs

31
Q

CIs of SUs

A

prego/breast feeding
liver or renal insufficiency
sulfa allergies

32
Q

side effects of SU

A
GI upset
urticaria
jaundice
SIADH (low Na, high BP)
weight gain
hypoglycemia
33
Q

which SU can be used in renal failure

A

glipizide
glimeperide
only metabolized by liver

34
Q

meglitinides

A

-glinide

very short acting so can be taken right before meal

35
Q

biguandies

A

metformin

DOC

36
Q

metformin side effects

A

GI
lactic acidosis
decrease B12 and folate absorption

37
Q

CI of metformin

A

renal and liver insufficiency
chronic hypoxia
past Hx of lactic acidosis
alcoholism

38
Q

TZDs

A
-glitazone
not great
significant weight gain
water retention cannot be used with CHF pt
liver damage
39
Q

alpha-glycosidase inhibiots

A
acarbose
miglitol
decrease absoroption of CHO 
GI issues
not really used dt side effects
40
Q

incretins

A
oral- DPP4 inhibitors (-agliptine)
injectible- GLP1 (-tide)
significant weight loss
early satiety
glucose dependent insulin production
41
Q

pramlintide

A

analoge of amyloid
supresses glucagon secretion
rarely used

42
Q

beginning insulin Tx

A

long acting first to increase baseline

fixed combos should not be used right away

43
Q

dawn phenomenon

A

diurnal increase of anti-insulin hormones secretion in am
3 am BG normal or high
no night sweats
insulin dose not high enough

44
Q

samojyi effect

A

rebound hyperglycemia after night time lows
3am BG very low
night sweats present
dose of insulin too high
if you think its dawn effect and increase insulin can kill them
