Endocrine Flashcards
What are the two types of Type 1 Diabetes
1A: Autoimmune destruction of pancreatic B cells
1B: B cell destruction non-immune mediated
both lead to absolute insulin deficiency
4 Common Type 1 DM sxs
Wt Loss
Lethargy
Paresthesias
Postural Hypotension
Effects on the liver in T2DM
Increased hepatic glucose output
T2DM sxs (4)
Confusion
Decreased wound healing
Polys x3
Wt Gain
What are the four ways to dx T2DM
8 hr fasting glucose - 2 separate readings [Greater 126]
2hr glucose tolerance testing - [Greater 200]
Random glucose test [Greater 200]
A1C [Greater 5.7-6.4% - Greater 6.4%]
Plasma changes of Diabetes Insipidous (2)
Increased plasma osmolality
Decreased urine osmolality
1st line mgmt DM
Wt. Loss
Decrease ETOH
ASA
Bp Control
MOA GLP-1s
ADE’s
Decreased gastric emptying
Increased Insulin Sensitivity
Wt loss!
ADE= N/V/D
(Glutides)
MOA TZD
ADE’s
Insulin sensitizers
Increased risk of fx’s
Bladder Cancer
(ZONES)
MOA AGI’s
ADE
Decreased PP glucose
ADE= Dark urine N/V Stomach pain Yellow eyes or skin
(ACARBOSE)
DPP-4 MOA
ADE
Inhibits breakdown of GLP-1
Wt Loss!
ADE= Nausea Diarrhea Stomach Pain
(gliptons)
SGLT2 MOA
ADE
Pee out the glucose
Inhibit sodium and glucose reabsorption at the proximal tubules.
ADE= Volume depletion AKI Fx’s
(Flozins)
MOA Metformin
ADE
Decrease hepatic glucose production
Decrease fasting glucose
Wt Loss!
ADE= Nausea Diarrhea, Dizziness
A1C # of medications indicated
1) 6.5% - 7.5% =
2) 7.5% - 9.0% =
3) -3 months later; still 7.5%- 9.0% =
4) -3months later; A1C still above 9.0% =
1) Mono
2) Dual
3) Triple
4) Add insulin
Explain the relationship between higher levels of glucose than sodium
Decreases sodium
Due to water increased retention; influx to highest concentration solute (glucose)
Relationship between increased glucose and potassium
Increases potassium
-Flow influx outside of cells
-Insulin shifts potassium back into cells; controlling glucose balance.
