Q

complications of diabetes

A
  • diabetic neuropathy
  • diabetic nephropathy
  • diabetic retinopathy
21
Q

diabetic retinopathy

A
  • excess glucose clogs capillaries in eyes, causes edema, damages retina
  • a leading cause of blindness
22
Q

diabetic nephropathy

A
  • kidney disease
  • leading causes of chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease
    (issue with blood vessels because excess glucose in blood)
23
Q

diabetic neuropathy

A

nerve damage, often in extremities

24
Q

diabetes symptoms

A
  • feeling more thirsty than usual
  • urinating often
  • losing weight without trying
  • presence of ketones in urine
  • feeling tired and weak
  • feeling irritable or having other mood changes
  • blurry vision
  • slow-healing sores
  • high frequency of infections
25
Q

types one diabetes diagnoses

A
  • often start suddenly and are often the reason for checking blood sugar levels
26
Q

ADA screening guidelines for diabetes

A
  • bmi>25 (>23 for asians)
  • age> 35
  • women who had gestational diabetes
  • diagnosed with prediabetes
  • HIV+
27
Q

What are different diagnostic tests for type one and two?

A
  • A1C test (>6.5 diabetes, <5.7 normal)
  • random blood sugar test (no matter fasting state, blood sugar above 200 suggests diabetes)
  • fasting blood sugar test
  • glucose tolerance test
28
Q

fasting blood sugar test

A
  • overnight fast
    <100 normal
    100-125 prediabetes
    >126 2x tests is diabetes
29
Q

glucose tolerance test

A
  • GOLD STANDARD
  • overnight fast, then drink sugary beverage
  • blood sugar tested regularly for 2 hours
    after 2 hrs:
    <140 normal
    141-199 prediabetes
    > 200 dibetes
30
Q

type one tests

A
  • ketone abundance in blood
  • autoantibody tests
31
Q

autoimmune disease?

A

type one

32
Q

in type one, immune system destroyes

A

beta cells

33
Q

with no ______ in blood stream, _______ is left to build up in damaging numbers

A

insulin, glucose

34
Q

no _______, equals no glucose in cells which means death

A

insulin

35
Q

type _____ diabetics have to constantly measure their blood glucose and inject the right amount of insulin

A

one

36
Q

insulin pump

A
  • type one
  • constantly measures blood glucose and automatically puts the right amount of insulin into the body
37
Q

insulin resistance

A

type two

38
Q

in type two cells gradually become insulin

A

resistant

39
Q

insulin is _______ but cells (do/do not) respond

A

present, do not

40
Q

exact cause of type two is unknown. t or f?

A

true

41
Q

What are strong life style links to diabetes?

A
  • excess body fat around the waist
  • inactivity
  • poor dietary habits
42
Q

type two is a _________ and can take years, often without symptoms to develop into type 2 diabetes

A

gradual process

  • starts with insulin resistance and over time can move on to insulin dependance as the beta-cells :burn out” and reduce or eliminate insulin production
43
Q

insulin secreting pathway with low levels of glucose in blood

A

1 - low glucose in blood
2 - metabolism slows
3 - ATP decreases
4 - Katp channels open adn K leaks out of cell
5 - cell at resting membrane potential. no insulin is released (coltage gated ca channel stays closed)

44
Q

insulin secreting pathway for high blood glucose

A

1 - high levels of glucose in blood
2 - metabolism increases
3 - atp increases
4 - Katp channels close
5 - cell depolarizes and ca channels open
6 - ca entry acts as an intracellular signal
7 - ca signal triggeres exocystosis and insulin is secreted

45
Q

diabetes complications

A
  • CVD
  • atherosclerosis
  • hypertension
  • peripheral neuropathies
  • other nerve damage
  • kidney disease
  • retinopathy and eye damage
  • skin conditions
  • slow healing and foot ulcers
  • amputations
  • hearing impairement
  • sleep apnea
  • dementia
46
Q

treatment for all types of diabetes

A
  • healthy eating
  • physical activity
  • quit smoking
47
Q

treatment for type one diabetes

A
  • insulin injections
  • insulin pump
  • frequent blood sugar checks
  • carb counting
  • pancreas transplant or islet cell transplant
48
Q

treatment for type two diabetes

A
  • mostly lifestyle changes
  • monitoring blood sugar
  • oral diabetes drugs, insulin, or both
