Q

what allows for release of insulin into the blood

A

Ca

21
Q

what occurs in a healthy patient with constant infusion of glucose

A

2 phases of insulin secretion

22
Q

what occurs to the phases of insulin release in DM I? DM II?

A

both phases are missing in type I

the first phase is missing in DM II

23
Q

where does degradation of insulin occur

A

liver and kidney

24
Q

how long does insulin last in the blood

A

half life 5-8 minutes

25
Q

target tissues for glucose homeostasis

A

liver, muscle, fat

26
Q

insulin inhibits what processes

A

breakdown of glycogen, fat and protein

27
Q

describe timing of each of the actions of insulin

A

phosphorylation-dephosphorylation of enzymes is sec- minutes
transcription translation effects- hours
changes in cellular proliferation and differentiation- days

28
Q

what type of R is insulin

A

tyrosine kinase

29
Q

how does glucose enter cells

A

GLUT R

30
Q

how does insulin stimulate glucose transport

A

promotes energy dependent translocation of intracellular vesicles that contain GLUT4 to the plasma membrane

31
Q

what transporter may contribute to DM II

A

GLUT2

32
Q

how is pancreatic function in DM II

A

low or normal or high levels insulin.

33
Q

Family Hx DM I? DM II

A

DM I not strong

DM II strong

34
Q

Tx DM I

A

insulin

diet and exercise

35
Q

how is subcut insulin different than physiologic

A

1- kinetics do not match response to ingestion of nutrients

2- diffuses into peripheral circulation, not portal

36
Q

indications fo insulin therapy

A

all types I DM
DM II not controlled by diet and/or oral hypoglycemic agents
patients after pancreatectomy or gestational DM
management diabetic ketoacidosis
Tx hyperglycemic, nonketotic coma
perioperative management Type I and II patients

37
Q

time of onset aciton, peak effect and duration of action of insulin depends on what

A

dose, anatomic site of injection, method Sq or IV, local blood flow, body temp, level of physical activity and degree of R

38
Q

what insulin preparations can be used as IV infusions or subcutaneous infusion pumps

A

regular, aspart, glulisine, lispro

39
Q

variability of insulin kinetics is mostly due to what

A

rates of SQ absorption and SQ blood flow

40
Q

what is exubera

A

inhaled insulin

41
Q

what is a single daily dose regimen

A

single daily dose of an intermediate acting insulin

42
Q

what is split-mixed regimen

A

pre breakfast and pre supper injection of mixture of regular and intermidiate acting insulin

43
Q

what is split mixed regimen with delayed evening dose

A

evening dose of NPH insulin is delayed until bedtime to increase amount of insulin available until the next morning

44
Q

What is the intensive insulin therapy

A

1:1 basal:bolus ratio SQ
basal is glargine or detemir
bolus is rapid acting insulin or regular before each meal

45
Q

What is split mix insulin therapy dosing

A

1- 2/3 total dose before breakfast (2/3 NPH 1/3 regular)
2- 1/3 total dose later in day: (1/3 regular before dinner
2/3 NPH at bedtime)

46
Q

what makes evening dose of insulin so importnat

A

normal and diabetic patients have increased requirement o finsulin the the early morning

47
Q

what insulin is used to meet postprandial demand

A

rapid acting insulin

48
Q

What factors affect insulin absorption

A

site of injeciton, type of insulin, SQ blood flow
regional muscle activity at injections site, colume and concentration of injected insulin
depth of injection, mixing of regular insulin with NPH or NPL can slow absorbtion
