five components of diabetic care
nutritional therapy
exercise
monitoring
pharm
education
nutritional therapy
maintain the pleasure of eating include personal and cultural preferences
promote exercise and activity
meal planning
must be considerate of patient preferences
diabetic diet should consist of
50-60% carbs
20-30% fat
10-20% protein
25g/day fiber
what do we do for high glycemic index foods
monitor BS after ingestion of certain foods to help ID personal glycemic index to improve glucose control
precautions of exercise
do not exercise if BS >250 and ketones in urine
may continue when ketones are negative and BS normal
rotation of diabetic injections
systematic rotation of sites within an autonomic area recommended
how much should you use that exact site
not more than once in 2-3 weeks
what about injecting before you exercise
do not inject in limb that will be exercised
metformin
contraindicated in impaired kidney or liver function must be discontinued 48 hours prior to and after CT with contrast
sulfonylureas
increased risk for hypoglycemia with elderly, beta blocker use may decrease or mask ss of hypo
basic survival skills
defintion
normal BS ranges
effect of therapy
treatment modalities
complications
sick day rules
take insulin or oral anti diabetic agent as usual
test blood glucose and urine ketones (every 3-4 hours)
report elevated BS levels or ketones
- increased insulin coverage may be required
take liquids more frequently to prevent dehydration
- sports drink, cola, or broth
consume soft foods (gelatin, soup, graham crackers) six to eight times a day if unable to follow normal diet
report nausea, vomiting, diarrhea to provider
- hospitlization maybe required if unable to keep fluids down
severe hypoglycemia
glucose levels less than 40
mild hypoglcyemia symptoms
SNS stimulation
sweating
tremor
tachycardia
palpation
nervousness
hunger
moderate hypoglycemia symptoms
inability to concentrate
headache
lightheadedness
confusion
memory lapse
numbness of lips and tongue
severe hypo symptoms
disorientation
seizure
difficulty arousal
loss of consiousness
who might have variable response to hypoglycemia
elderly
beta blockers
logn term diabetic
management of hypoglycemia
immediate treatment must be given
check blood sugar first step
emergency measures of hypoglycemia
glucagon 1mg IM or SQ (community)
25-50mL dextrose IVP
- careful assessment of IV site prior to administration and after
DKA manifesations
hyperglycemia
severe dehydration
metabolic acidosis
DKA common causes
missed insulin dose
illness
infection
undiagnosed
DKA assessment findings
blood glucose levels (300-800)
low pH, CO2, bicarb levels
ketones in urine and blood
electrolyte abnormalities
elevated BUN/CR and HCT
management of DKA
rehydration
- 6-10 liters
-0.9NS initially, changed to 0.45 after first few hours of hydration (.45 may be used with hypertensive patients or those with risk of heart failure) changed to D5W when the BS is at 250-300
- monitor fluid status
insulin
- continuous infusion of regular insulin (12-24hr)
-frequent blood sugar monitoring hourly
- IV solution D5 when blood sugar 250-300
electrolyte restoration
- cautious but timely replacement of K is vital
HHS defintion
metabolic disorder of type 2 diabetes resulting from relative insulin deficiency intimated by illness that raises the demand for insulin, more common in older adults
assessment and diagnostic findings of HHS
BS level 600-1200
osmolality greater than 320
HHS treatment
similar to DKA
- rehydration with IV fluids
- insulin administration
- electrolyte replacement
macrovascucualr complication
accelerated atherosclerotic changes
neuropathic complication
peripheral neruopathy
autonomic neruopaties
hypoglycemic unawarness
neuropathy
sexual dysfunction
meticulous foot care
have podiatrist check feet once a year
- toenails inquire about best way to manage toenails
check feet daily
wash feet daily
keep skin soft
do not walk barefoot
protect from hot and cold
steps to lower risk of complications in diabetics
A1C less than 7
take care of your feet
get recommended screenings and early treatment for complications

acute myeloid leukemia
- treatment
aggressive chemo
induction therapy
chronic myeloid leukemia
- manifesations
initially may be asymptomatic
malaise
anorexia
weight loss
confusion or shortness of breath caused by leukostasis
enlarged tender spleen
enlarged liver
acute lymphocytic leukemia
- manifestations
leukemia cell infiltration is more common with this leukemia
symptoms of meningeal involvement
liver/spleen/bone marrow pain
hodgkin disease treament
determined by stage of the disease and may include chemo, radiation therapy or both
non hodgkin lymphoma treatment
determined by type and stage of disease and may include interferon, chemo, or radiation
multiple myeloma treatment
include chemo, steroids, radiation, bisphosphonates

DIC defintion
alerted hemostasis mechanism causes massive clotting in microcirculation
as clotting factors are consumed bleeding occurs
symptoms are related to tissue ischemia and bleeding
