Q

diabetes

A
  • metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia

people with diabetes either:
- produce very little to no insulin (insulin deficiency)
- ineffectively use insulin (insulin resistance)
- produce inadequate insulin amount (insulin insufficiency)

Q

stages of glucose metabolism

A
  1. initial interchange with glycogen (glycogenolysis) and reduction to a smaller central compound (glycolysis pathway)
  2. joining with the other two energy-yielding nutrients, fat and protein (pyruvate link)
  3. final common energy production (citric acid cycle and electron transport chain)

Q

abnormal metabolism in diabetes (fat)

A
  • lipolysis in the adipose tissue increases
  • fatty acids are released in the blood
  • elevated triglyceride levels result
  • ketogenesis ensues in the liver
  • ketones accumulate in the body
  • diabetic ketoacidosis results

17
Q

abnormal metabolism in diabetes (protein)

A
  • protein tissues are broken down
  • weight loss, muscle weakness, and urinary nitrogen loss result
18
Q

long term complications

A
  • retinopathy (eye damage)
  • nephropathy (kidney damage)
  • neuropathy (nerve damage)
  • heart disease
    • dyslipidemia
    • hypertension
19
Q

postprandial

A

after eating; normally 1-2 hours after a meal

20
Q

Cushing’s syndrome

A
21
Q

glucagonoma

A
  • rare neuroendocrine tumor
  • found in alpha cells of pancreas
  • leads to overproduction of glucagon
  • may cause diabetes, weight loss, high glucagon levels, and hypoaminoacidemia
22
Q

pheochromocytoma

A
  • tumor of the adrenal medulla or the sympathetic nervous system
  • affected cells secrete excess epinephrine or norepinephrine
  • causes headache, hypertension, and nausea
23
Q

hypoglycemia

A

low blood glucose level

24
Q

GLUT4

A

insulin-regulated protein that is responsible for glucose transport into cells

25
Q

ketogenesis

A

production of ketones in the body (occurs in the liver)

26
Q

ketones

A

acids that occur as intermediate products of fat metabolism

27
Q

acetone

A
  • major ketone compound
  • results from fat breakdown for energy in individuals with unmanaged diabetes
28
Q

albuminuria

A

high levels of albumin in the urine

29
Q

estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)

A

equation used to measure kidney function

30
Q

cellulitis

A
  • diffuse inflammation of soft or connective tissues from injury, bruises, or pressure sores that leads to infection
  • poor care may result in ulceration and abscess or gangrene
31
Q

glycemic control

A

management of blood glucose levels within individualized targets

32
Q

insulin secretagogues

A
  • oral medication
  • stimulates beta cells to secrete insulin
  • lowers overall blood glucose levels
  • increases risk of hypoglycemia and weight gain
33
Q

early detection and monitoring

A
  • community screening programs
  • annual physical examinations
  • fasting blood glucose, HbA1c
34
Q

basic goals of care

A
  • exogenous insulin

  • maintaining healthy eating patterns
  • 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity weekly
35
Q

Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSME/S)

A
  • dietary and lifestyle management
  • monitoring
  • medications
  • problem solving
  • reducing risk
  • psychosocial assessment and care
  • resource awareness
36
Q

MNT

A

prediabetes:
- healthy dietary pattern, physical activity, weight loss

diabetes:
- individualized nutrition therapy

37
Q

nutrient balance

A
  • starch and sugar
  • glycemic index
  • sugar substitutes and sweeteners
  • protein
  • fat
38
Q

nutrient intake, physical activity, and medication timing

A
  • daily schedule
  • physical activity and glycemic management
  • meds and meal timing
  • carbohydrate counting
  • healthy eating patterns (t2/prediabetes)
39
Q

additional concerns

A
  • “diabetic” foods
  • alcohol
  • hypoglycemia
  • illness
  • travel
  • eating out
  • stress
40
Q

diabetes distress

A

psychological reaction to the intense emotional burden and negative impact of daily concerns when managing the serious and complex lifelong disease of diabetes
