Quiz 8: Glucose Control Flashcards
T/F: The use of oral diabetic medication in DM Type 1 is acceptable.
FALSE
What are the characteristic of DM 1:
- Before age 30 (Child)
- Abrupt Onset
- Requires exogenous insulin to treat
- Ketoacidosis prone
- Wide fluctuations in BG concentration
- Thin body habitus
What genetically predisposes people to DM 1:
- Altered Human Lymphocyte
- Defect causes “insulinitis
- Auto antibodies may be detected at the time of diagnosis but maybe absent years later
What are the S/S when diagnosed with DM 1:
- Hyperglycemia
- Ketoacidosis (1/3)
- 3 P’s
What are the characteristics of DM Type 2:
- Adult onset
- Appear after age 35
- Occasionally requires exogenous insulin
- NOT ketoacidosis prone
- Relatively stable BG concentration
- Obese body habitus
T/F: To be prone to ketoacidosis is to be diabetes mellitus type II.
FALSE (…is to be diabetes mellitus type I.)
What are the S/S of DM 2:
-3 P’s
What are the four medication the induce hyperglycemia:
- Glucorticoids
- Antipsychotics
- HIV medication
- Octreotide
What are the three stress situations that induce hyperglycemia:
- Pregnancy
- illness
- Trauma
Diagnosis of diabetes mellitus of a fasting blood sugar is:
126 mg/dL or greater
Diagnosis of diabetes mellitus of a random blood sugar is:
greater than 200 mg/dL
What are the three main treatments for diabetes mellitus:
- Diet
- Oral hypoglycemic agents
- Insulin
Insulin binds to plasma membrane insulin receptors.
TRUE
How does insulin affect the plasma membrane after it binds:
- Phosphorylated receptor substrates then activate or inactivate numerous enzymes and other mediating molecules
- Translocation of glucose transporters to plasma membranes
Insulin activates glucose transporters how:
- moves glucose into the cell
- change glucose into glycogen (glycogenesis)
- Increase uptake of amino acids,phosphate, potassium and magnesium
- Stimulate protein synthesis and inhibit proteolysis
- Regulate gene expression via insulin regulatory elements in target DNA
What occurs during insulin resistance:
- Less stimulation for insulin transportors to move to the outside of the cell to bring in the glucose
- Hyperinsulinemia occurs to overcome this resistence
T/F: Insulin receptor saturation occurs with high circulating concentrations of insulin.
FALSE (… saturation occurs with LOW circulating …)
Insulin receptor numbers are _____ related to the plasma concentration of insulin.
-Inversely
Can insulin regulate the population of receptors.
YES
What is the elimination t1/2 of IV insulin (regular):
5-10 minutes
How much of insulin is metabolized through first pass through the liver.
50%
Which prolongs insulin half life more liver disease of renal disease:
Renal
Name the long acting insulin type(s):
Glargine (Lantus)
Name the intermediate acting insulin type(s):
- NPH
- Detemir (Levemir)
Name the short acting insulin type(s):
-Regular
Name the rapid acting insulin type(s):
- Novolog (aspart)
- Humalog (lispro)
- Glulisine (apidra)
What insulin may only be administered IV:
regular
What are the five side effect of insulin:
- Hypoglycemia
- Allergic reaction
- Insulin resistance
- Lipodystrophy
- Drug interaction
What are the causes and effects of hypoglycemia:
- Most SERIOUS side effect
- Patient has NO carbo load to counteract insulin
- Hard to detect under GA
-
What are the S/S of hypoglycemia:
- Diaphoresis
- Tachycardia
- Hypertension
- Mental confusion which leads to coma
How is hypoglycemia treated:
- 50% dextrose 50-100cc IV
- Glucagon 0.5 to 1 mg IV
Chronic use of NPH may lead to antibody formation of what drug:
Protamine
Lipodystrophy is ______ of fat at the sites of SQ injection and is minimized by _______ the site of injection.
- atrophy
- Rotating
Insulin resistance is associated with patients requiring how much insulin per day:
> 100 units/day
What three acute events causes insulin resistance:
- Surgery
- Infection
- Trauma
Why was insulin switched from animal insulin to human insulin:
-immunoresistance
What is Somogyi Effect:
Rebound hyperglycemia caused by sympathetic nervous system activity in response to hypoglycemia that may mask the correct diagnosis
What increases glucose and counters hypoglycemic effects of insulin:
- ACTH or glucocorticoid steroids
- Estrogen
- Glucagon
Epinephrine does what to insulin:
- Inhibits the secretion of insulin
- Stimulate glycogenolysis
What is a HgA1C:
-measure of the percent of Hgb that has been non-enzymatically glycosylated by glucose on the Beta chain.
HgA1C gives the degree of BG levels over what time frame:
-1 to 3 months
Urinary ketones are used by diabetic patients under what condition(s):
- cold
- flu
- vomiting
- abdominal pain
- polyuria
- unexpectedly high glucose level
What percent (basal rate) of administration may be required of the diabetic at bedtime for a intermediate or long acting dose of insulin:
70%
What insulin medication are available through multidose pens:
- Aspart (Novalog)
- Lispro (Humalog)
- NPH
- FIxed mixture of regular or rapid acting analog and NPH
An insulin pump site needs to be changed every:
2-4 days
What insulin may be used with a insulin pump:
- Regular
- Lispro
What is the basal rate of an insulin pump:
-0.5 to 1 unit/hour
Basal bolus administration total daily requirements with __% long acting and __% divided to AC and HS.
- 70
- 30
