Test 1 content-Glucose management on CPB Flashcards
Pre-diabetic fasting blood glucose level range
within 100-125 mg/dl
A fasting blood glucose level over 126 mg/dl is considered
Diabetic
Which type of diabetes is considered “juvenille”?
Type 1
Type 1 diabetes is in what percent of the population?
5-10%
Complete lack of insulin secretion by the pancreas is which type of diabetes?
Type 1
Diabetes type ll occurs in which percent of the population?
90-95%
Insulin resistance resulting from multiple etiologies is which type?
Type ll
Multiple etiologies associated with type ll diabetes (4)
- Genetic predesposition
- Unhealthy diet
- Lack of physical activity
- Central pattern weight gain
2 ways to measure blood glucose? How?
Short term-Glucose monitor or a blood gas analyzer in OR
Long term-Use a hemoglobin A1c test
What does an A1c test measure?
Average blood sugar for the last 2-3 months
At higher glucose levels, ________ become inelastic and stenotic
Blood vessels
Hemoglobin undergoes slow _____ with average glucose concentration over the 120 day life span of RBC’s
Glycosylation
ADA recomments a A1c level below 7%
Glycosylation % is
A1c
________ activates pathways for long term inflammation and immune response
Hyperglycemia
What are the 2 main functions of the pancreas?
- Exocrine function (Aids in digestion)
* Endocrine function (Regulates blood sugar)
The endocrine component of the pancreas consists of _____ cells
Islet cells. (islets of langerhans)
What do islet cells do?
*They create and release hormones into the bloodstream
Two main hormones released by islet cells are:
Insulin-Which lowers blood sugar (when high)
Glucagon-Which raises blood sugar (when low)
What are the 4 types of cells within the islets that regulate blood glucose levels?
- Alpha cells
- Beta cells
- Delta cells
- Gamma cells (PP cells)
What do alpha cells do?
Secrete glucagon-increase glucose in blood
What do beta cells do?
Secrete insulin-decrease glucose in blood
