Promotes entry of glucose into cells
Increases with eating

48
Q

Glucagon

A

Produced by alpha-cells of pancreas

Glucagon decreases with eating, increases at rest

49
Q

Hemoglobin A1c

A

Measures blood glucose past 2-3 months
Percentage of glucose captured by hemoglobin
Diabetes >7%
-8% or below reflects good control

50

-nephropathy
-retinopathy
Neuropathy
Decreased resistance to infection
Hypoglycemia
51
Q

Hypoglycemia

A

Most likely problem to be encountered in dental office
Low blood sugar from excess insulin, excess exercise, stress, poor diet
Acute, rapidly progressive
Do not give oral carbohydrates if unconscious

52
Q

Hyperglycemia

A

Deficient insulin
Diabetic ketoacidosis
Chronic, slowly progressive

53
Q

Dental considerations for diabetes

A

Morning appointments are best (avoid peak insulin)
Prevent hypoglycemia
May need antibiotic prophylaxis
Well-controlled, stable diabetic taking insulin requires little or no modification for routine dental care including surgery
Poorly controlled or uncontrolled - defer elective treatment

54
Q

Renal osteodystrophy

A

Muscle weakness, bone pain, fractures with minor trauma
Treatment: vitamin D
Results from chronic kidney disease
