Q

What occurs to the body when diabetes weakens immune system?

A
  • Hyperglycemia: increase blood glucose -> saliva and sugar-> Caries and Periodontal disease
  • Ketoacidosis-> lack insulin-> thirst, frequent urination, nausea, fruity breath, confusion
  • Vascular wall disease -> prevent blood from circulating -> decreased ability to fight infection and poor wound healing

Q

What is type 1 vs type 2?

A

Type 1:
* Cannot be prevented or cured
* The body does not create enough insuline
* Causes are unknown but genetics may play a role
* Requires insuin injections for life

Type 2:
* Can be prevented through lifestyle modification
* The body does not creare enough insuline or develops resistance
* Causes include genetics, aging inactivity, obesity and more
* Requires insulin as needed injected or oral

Q

What are the percentages when it comes to type I and type II diabetes?

A

Type I: 5-10%
Type II: 90%

19
Q

What are the different insullin production?

A

Type I: non or very little
Type II: too little or too ineffective

20
Q

What are the different age of diagnosis for diabetes?

A

Type I: ages 0-40
Type II: 40 plus

21
Q

What are the different treatment for Type I and Type II

A

Type I: healthy eating, increased physical activity, blood sugar checks, insulin injections

Type II: healthy eating, increased physical activity, blood sugar checks, insulin injections or oral medication (may be needed),

22
Q

Diabetes diagnosis is made based on?

A

Level of blood glucose upon random sampling, after fasting or after a glucose tolerance test

23
Q

Diabetes test uses the?

A

glycosylated hemoglobin- this shows a average level of control over 2-3 months

24
Q

When is testing for diabetes recommended?

A

Recommended based on age and risk facotrs for the disease.
Ages 45 or older should get tested every 3 years

25
What is the goal of medical management for Type 1 ?
* Goal is to mimic physiologic insulin secretion
26
What is insulin shock?
* not enough calories plus normal insulin dose= excess insulin * Hypoglycemia reffered to as insulin shock
27
What are the symptoms of insulin shock?
* Hunger * Weakness * Trembling * Tachycardia * Pallor * Sweating * Progession = incoherent, uncooperative, beligerent, lack judgement and disorientation * Severe stage= unconsciousness and possible tonic or clonic muscle movement, sweating, palllor, rapid pulse, hypotension and hypothermia
28
What is the medical management for Type-II ?
* Begins with lifestyle modifications- diet, weightloss, reduction in risk facotrs for CVD * Oral glucose lowering agents may be used alone or in conjunction with insulin therapy * As condition progress therapeutic needs change
29
What is the goal of medical management for type II?
Manage gylcemic control, treat associated conditions and manage complications
30
# ON TEST What are the Glucose lowering agents ?
* Meltformin (biguanides) * Glipizide and Glyburide * Glinides * Victoza, Ozempic * Farxiga and Jardiance
31
What is the Dental Management for Diabetes?
* Evaluate for cardinal signs and symptoms * If no diagnosis and symptoms are present, dismiss and refere to MD * Well controlled patient, recieve treatment as indicated * suspect DM if patient presents with headache, dry mouth, irritability, repeated skin infections, blurred vision, parethesia, progessive periodontal disease, abscessess, loss of sensation (Dismiss and refer to MD for testing) * Diagnosed, fasting blood glucose level is 126 or more (dismiss and refer to MD)
32
If a patient is insulin dependent, what follow up questions should you ask?
Ask how much they use and how often they inject themselves.
33
When do you dismiss a patient?
* current or previous complications * irregular monitoring * if they cannot provide latest blood glucose level and latest HbA1c levels * How often do they see physican if more than 6 months dismiss them * If Pt has not taken meds as prescribed do not treat
34
What does Meltformin (biguanides) do?
Reduces glucose production in the LIVER and causes a slight increase in the bodys ability to use glucose for energy.
35
What does Glipizide and Glyburide (Insulin Secretagogues/Sulfonylureas) do?
Stimulate insulin production by interacting woth a componenet of a BETA CELL, should be taken with meal
36
What does Glinides do?
Work similary to sulfonylureas, but they work faster and for a shorter time
37
What does Victoza, Ozempic (incretins) do?
* Amplify the amount of insulin created when glucose is present
38
What does Farxiga and Jardiance (co-transporter 2 inhibitors) do?
INHIBIT GLUCOSE REABSOPRTION, lowers renal threshold for glucose and increases glucose excreted in the urine
39
What questions helps to prevent a medical emergency for patients with diabetes?
* Have you eaten today * What time * What did you eat * Tell PT to know if they are experincing insulin reaction during appt.
40
Why are these question asked?
* If the patient took insulin or meds but did not eat, this puts then at risk for** hypoglycemia**
40
What are some Dental management, when it comes to medications?
* NSAIDS can enhance the effects of sulfonylureas * Insulin dependent/uncontrolled may require **antibiotic premedication ** * Anesthesia: Epinephrine possibly raises blood glucose level- use with caution due to other conditions like CVD.
41
What are some oral manifestation for patient who has poorly controlled diabetes?
* Xerostomia * Infections ( viral, fungal and bacterial) * Poor wound healing * Increased caries * Gingivitis * Periodontal disease * Abscesses * Burning mouth
42
Controlled oral health can help with diabetes true/false?
True
