Part I Biochemical Profile Flashcards
This is the primary energy source
Glucose
Blood glucose levels are held in a constant range by
Regulatory hormones and metabolic activiyt
Glucose disorders result in
hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia
This decreases blood glucose
insulin
This is secreted in fasting state to increase glucose levels
glucagon
This is secreted after eating when glucose levels are high
insulin
This is the classic hyperglycemia disorder
DM
FBG range
70-99mg/dl
Symptoms of diabetes
3 Ps (polyspias, polyuria, polyphagia
blurred vision
nausea
This (along with glucose tolerance test) should be ordered if suspted DM
A1c
OGTT test are usually done at this time interval
2 hr
This test is done to determine if the bllod sugar levels in DM patients are under controll
A1c=glycohemoblobin
The normal range for a A1c test is
4%-6%
Test Normal ranges
70-99 Fasting glucose
<140 OGTT
<5.7 A1c
Prediavetes ranges
100-125 Fasting Glucose
140-199 OGTT
5.7-6.4 A1c
Diabetes test ranges
> 126 FG
200 OGTT
6.5 A1c
This type of DM is insulin dependent
type 1
This type of Dm is non insulin dependent and is MC
type 2
Gestional Diabetes is tested at
24-28 weeks
This is a shortage of insiulin
Diabetic coma
Two types of hypoglycemia that can occur in non diabetic patients
Reactive
Fasting
This type of non diabetic hypoglycemia occurs within 4 hours after meal
reactive
This type of non diabetic hypoglyceima is usually related to underlying disease
Fasting
This is the name given to the symptoms that are known or likely to be caused by hypoglycemia
