30
Q

Insulin is classified according to 3 things:

A
  1. onset

  3. duration
31

A

long = 40-50%
short = 50-60%

33
Q

there are 3 types of insulin delivery regimens

A
  1. fixed - set dose each meal
  2. flexible - changing dose
  3. continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion - pump
34
Q

Humalog is this type of insulin:

A

bolus insulin

35
Q

Novorapid is this type of insulin:

A

bolus insulin

36
Q

lantus is this type of insulin

A

long acting basal

37
Q

levemir is this type of insulin

A

long acting basal

38
Q

tresiba and basaglar are this type of insulin

A

long acting basal

39
Q

when does long acting insulin start to work? when does it peak?

A

after 90 minutes

it doesnt peak

40
Q

when does rapid acting insulin start to work? when does it peak?

A

starts to work after 9-20 minutes

Peaks after 1-1.5 hours

40
Q

when does short acting insulin start to work? when does it peak?

A

starts: 30 minutes
peaks: 2-8 hours

41
Q

when does intermediate acting insulin start to work? peak?

A

start to work: 1-3 hrs
peak: 5-8 hrs

lasts up to 18 hrs

42
Q

it is important to councel all type 1 diabetes patients about:

A

hypoglycemia: recogonition, treatment, prevention

43
Q

what is the formula for insulin requirements?

A

EITHER

weight in lbs/4

OR

weight in kg x 0.55

44
Q

What is insulin to carb ratio?

how do you know if your carb ratio is good?

A

how many grams of carbs 1 unit of insulin will cover.

grams of carbs eaten / units of rapid acting insulin taken

if your carb ratio is good, your blood sugar should rise 2 to 4 mmol/L 2 hours after eating.

45
Q

if you have a good carb ratio, how much do you want your blood sugar to rise 2 hours ater eating?

A

2-4 mmol/L

46
Q

what is the equation for insulin to carb ratio?

A

grams of carbs eat / units of rapid-acting insulin taken

47
Q

how do you calculate how many insulin units you need?

A

of grams of carbs at a meal / the carb ratio number

48
Q

what are the benefits of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion? aka pump?

A
  1. gives small improvements to A1C compared to basal bolus injections
  2. gives improved treatment satisfaction and diabetes specific QOL
  3. reduced SEVERE hypoglycemia if there is a high baseline rate of severe hypoglycemia - but nonsevere and nocturnal hypoglycemia remain unchanged
49
Q

does ontario cover insulin pump?

A

yes - for kids and adults with type 1
government also gives $200 in supplies

50
Q

how do people qualify for pump coverage for type 1 diabetes by ontario government?

A
  1. part of diabetes education program
  2. prove SMBG - test 4x per day
  3. DKA and hypoglycemia prevention education
51
Q

what are the 6 pros of CSII

A
  1. flexibility
  2. improved QOL
  3. more accurate dosing
  4. fewer needle pokes
  5. easier to plan for exercise
  6. easier to bolus
52
Q

what are the 5 cons of CSII?

A
  1. always attached
  2. technology
  3. more education (need to know how to count carbs and manage exercise)
  4. cost
  5. troubleshooting
53
Q

what are the benefits of CGM?

A
  1. improved A1C with no increase in hypglycemia
  2. improved QOL

also, if using sensory -augmented pump (SAP) therapy with nocturnal hypoglycemia, using SAP with low glucose suspend provides a reduction in nocturnal hypoglycemia with no A1C increase

54
Q

what are 10 recommendations for managing type 1?

A
  1. use basal-bolus injections or pump
  2. use rapid acting insulin analogues in place of regular insulin to improve a1c and minimize hypoglycemia
  3. use a long acting insulin instead of intermediate acting insulin to reduce hypoglycemia (use degludec instead of detemir)
  4. need counselling about the risk and prevention of hypoglycemia
  5. do the following items to reduce hypoglycemia: use a standardized eudcation program, increased frequency of SMBG, CGM with high sensor adherence in pump patients, and less strngent glycemic targets
  6. in people using basal bolus who are not hitting targets, try pump with or without CGM
  7. pump may improve satisfaction, and pump + CGM may improve QOL
  8. pump patients should undergo periodic evaluations to determine if its still appropriate
  9. CGM can help improve or maintain A1C regardless of insulin delivery method
  10. if you experience nocturnal hypoglycemia and use pump and CGM, SAP with low glucose suspend may be chosen over SAP alone to reduce hypoglycemia
55
Q

what are the preferred insulin routines for adults with type 1 diabetes?

A

basal bolus

switch to pump if glycemic targets are not met

56
Q

who should be counselled about the risks of hypoglycemia?

A

all type 1 paitents

57
Q

what is the nutrition checklist for type 1 diabetes?

A
  1. REFER for nutrition counselling
  2. FOLLOW canada food guide
  3. INDIVIDUALIZE dietary advice
  4. CHOOSE low glycemic index carbs
  5. KNOW alt diet patterns
  6. ENCOURAGE matching insulin to carbs for type 1
  7. ENCOURAGE nutritionally balanced, calorie-reduced diet
58
Q

List 4 diabetes resources

A
  1. just the basics
  2. beyond the basics
  3. glyceminc index educational portal
