Q

What is bolus insulin used for?

A

Controls post-prandial hyperglycemia

20
Q

What two categories of insulin are analogs?

A

Bolus rapid acting

Basal long acting

21
Q

What are the Bolus Rapid and Short insulin names?

A

Rapid- Lispro, Aspart, Glulisine

Short- regular

22
Q

What are the Basal Intermediate and Long insulin names?

A

Intermediate- NPH

Long- Glargine, Detemir

23
Q

What is the name of inhaled insulin?

A

Afrezza

24
Q

What two insulins have to be take prior to meals?

A

Aspart

Afrezza

25
Q

What form of insulin has the shortest duration?

A

Afrezza- 160min

26
Q

What is the limitation for using Afrezza?

A

IN T1Dm must be used w/ long acting insulin

27
Q

Afrezza use is not recommended in what PT population?

A

Tx of DKA

Respiratory complications- quit smoking in past 6mon, COPD, Asthma, lung cancer

28
Q

What are the names of the two short-acting regular insulin?

A

Humilin

Novolin

29
Q

Which insulin administration are not correlated with meal times?

A

Intermediate acting- Humulin, Novolin

30
Q

Which insulin can not be mixed with others?

A

Long-acting: Glargine, Detemir

31
Q

Which insulin binds to albumin?

A

Detemir

32
Q

What are the three forms of insulin mixtures?

A

Novolin 70/30
Humalog 75/25
Humalog 50/50

33
Q

What is the bolus insuling drug of choice for IV infusions?

A

Regular U-100

34
Q

What form of insulin is used in PTs with high insulin resistance and require more than 200u/day

A

Regular U-500

35
Q

What is the difference between Tuberculiin syringes and INsulin syringes?

A

Insulin- measures units

Tuberculin- measures mls

36
Q

Type 1 Diabetes is AKA?

A

Insulin Dependent DM

Juvenile Onset DM

37
Q

Pathophysiology of Type 1 Diabetes?

A

Destruction of pancreatic B cells by body’s immune system and limits/eliminates the production and secretion of insulin

38
Q

What is the insulin injection regimen for Type 1 diabetes?

A

Multiple Daily Injections
1-2 basal injections / day (basal-50% of body’s daily insulin reqs)
Prandial injections before each meal (bolus- 10-20% of body’s daily insulin reqs)

39
Q

What are the two Insulin Management plans for Type 1 diabetes?

A

Multiple Daily Injections

Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion- pumps using rapid acting insulin analog

40
Q

How much insulin is used per injection for Type 1 diabetics?

A

.5u/kg
Higher- obese, acute illness, sedentary or puberty
Lower- low weight, peds

41
Q

How does a Type 1 diabetic determine their basal and bolus insulin amounts?

A

Basal- daily or BID

Bolus- carb estimate of meal

42
Q

What is the frequent estimation of insulin to carb digestion ratio?

A

1 : 15
Obese/resistant- 1:5
Lean/sensititve- 1:20

43
Q

Purpose of using Corrective/Supplemental doses for insulin management?

A

Bring pre-meal or bedtime glucose levels into range
When glucose is unexpectedly high
Can provide estimation of PTs sensitivity to insulin

44
Q

Define Rule of 1500 and 1800

A

Correction boluses only set up after basal dose has been trested for accuracy
Regular insulin correction factor- 1500
Rapid acting correction- 1800

45
Q

What is the Correction Dose Equation

A

CD= Current BG - Desired BG / Correction Factor

46
Q

What is the desired blood glucose range?

A

100-120
