85
Q

Short Term Complications

A
  • DKA
  • Hyperglycemic Hyperosmolar Noketotic Syndrome (HHNS)
  • Hyperglycemia
  • Hypoglycemia

You can NOT live with these conditions chronically. They are acute.

86
Q

Normal body pH?

A

7.35-7.45

87
Q

How does glucose end up in the urine?

A

Blood going into nephron is so concentrated that re absorption in the tubules can’t remove everything. Excess is excreted in urine.

88
Q

Osmotic diuretic

A

Substance that attracts water and takes it along into the Urine

Glucose, Na, Asparagus

89
Q

How does body compensate for acidosis?

A

Kussmal breathing to breath off acetone, a Ketone

90
Q

Ketonuria

A

Ketones in the urine

91
Q

Metabolism of fat creates ?

A

Ketones. Acids

92
Q

Ketones excreted in what ways?

A

Via lungs- fruity breath

Via urine- acetonuria or Ketonuria

93
Q

What complication does Ketonuria cause ?

A

Dehydration, E imbalance

94
Q

DKA causes

A
  • Type 1 - no insulin production

- problem w insulin therapy (missed doses, not enough etc)

95
Q

DKA triggers

A 
Infection- UP BG
PNA (pneumonia)
UTI
Stress
ETOH abuse
Drug abuse
MI (myocardial infarction) heart attack
CVA (cerebro vascular accident) stroke
96
Q

97
Q

Hyperglycemia leads to ?

A

Polyuria –> dehydration –> tachycardia–> hypotension–>hypovolemic shock

98
Q

Acidosis leads to ?

A

K+ leaving cellS and accumulate in blood –> hyperkalemia –> UP K can lead to heart attack

99
Q

Hyperglycemia and Acidosis can both lead to loss of consciousness and ?

A

Death

100
Q

DKA symptoms

A 
3Ps
Glucosuria
Ketonuria
Acetone breath
Kussmaul respirations
Drowsiness
BG 250-800 mg/dL
Loss consciousness
101
Q

DKA tests

A

BG, Ketone levels
Urine glucose , ketone levels
Blood pH (acidosis) - ABG arterial blood gas

102
Q

DKA Treatment

A
  • IV Fluids
  • Drip: IV Insulin (REGULAR insulin ONLY)
  • Monitor qH BG (finger prick, side less painful than center fingertip)
  • Monitor Elecrolytes (E)
  • ABG for acidosis
103
Q

DKA patient education

A
  • Teach PREVENTION
  • careful SELF/HOME monitoring of BG
  • if BG >250 then check for Ketones
  • If KETONES present, drink H20 and recheck Ketones again w next urination
  • If KETONES present, call MD
  • Never stop Insulin w/out MD supervision
104
Q

STEROIDS increase

A

UP BG levels

105
Q

about HHNS (Hyperosmolar, Hyperglycemic Nonketotic Syndrome)

A

Occurs Primarily in: Type II, Meds (steroids)

Cause: Stress, Illness, Infection, MI, CVA

106
Q

DKA vs HHNS

A

DKA
No insulin
metabolizes fat

HHNK
severe hypoglycemia but no Acidotic state (DKA). No DKA because there is always at least a little insulin present

107
Q

HHNK Pathophisiology. How fast develops?

A
  • Hyperglycemia —> Polyuria —> Dehydration –> a hyperosmolar state (concentrated urine) –> E imbalance
  • Develops slowly
108
Q

HHNK BG levels?

A

> 600-1500 mg/dL

109
Q

HHNK Symptoms

A
  • Extreme Polydypsia
  • Glucosuria
  • 3 Ps
  • Lethargy
  • Confusion
  • Shock
  • coma
  • death

No ketones (no ketonuria)

110
Q

HHNK Treatment

A
  • IV fluids
  • DRIP: IV REGULAR insulin
  • Monitor: qH BG (finger prick)
  • Monitor: E
  • Teach prevention
111
Q

All DM patients should have an Endocrinologist

A

.

112
Q

HHNK Long Term complications

A
  • Cardiovascular Disease
  • Neuropathy
  • Nephropathy
  • Retinopathy
  • Foot damage: blisters, cuts
  • Osteoporosis
113
Q

Hyperglycemia Definition, Cause

A

Def: calories in excess of insulin available for glucose used
Cause: over-eating, stress, illness, LO DM meds (need to be adjusted)

Stress = release of counter regulatory hormones (epi, cortisol, GH, Glucagon)

114
Q

S/S Hyperglycemia

A
  • 3Ps
  • Fatigue
  • Blurred vision

UP Muscular activity -> glucose utilization, insulin receptors become more sensitive to insulin

Risk for HYPOglycemia (supervised exercise recommended)

151
Q

Exercise Concerns

A
  • monitor BG before, during, after (to see how BG affected)
  • Gradually UP level of activity
  • Avoid extremes -> Hypoglycemia
  • Excercise SAME time daily. easier to monitor
  • BG 90andUP before exercise (if on oral meds)
  • BG 110andUP before exercise (if on insulin)
152
Q

When Exercise make sure to:

A
  • carry Fast Sugars

- eat carb snacks before and at intervals during strenuous workouts.

153
Q

If on INT acting Insulin, DO NOT exercise during

A

PEAK hours (when BG is lowest)

154
Q

Type1, if BG is 250andUP, what to do before excercise? why?

A

-check for Ketones. If present, DON’T excercise because Ketones will increase. Body will start metabolizing fat after all glucose is done.

  • Drink H2O, check urine again
  • H2O to prevent dehydration because Glucose and Ketones in urine are Osmolor diuretics.
155

YES

158
Q

Exercise if Type II, if BG 400andUP?

169
Q

MED: Glimepiride (Amaryl)

A
  • 3rd gen Sulfonylurea
  • 1x day w 1st meal

SE: Nausea, Diar, Constip

170
Q

MEDS: Meglitinides - how do they work?

A
  • stim pancreas to release insulin
  • Glucose DEPENDENT
  • Taken 30min B4 meal

once pt eats, UP BG, then pancreas w stim insulin. absorption happens in sm intestines. Med will already be working

171

  • given w EACH meal on 1st bite, not convenient
173
Q

MED: Alpha-glucosidase Inhibitors - i.e.

A

Precose (Acarbose)

not convenient because have to remember for each meal.

174
Q

MED: Precose (Acarbose)

A

w EACH meal on 1st bite.

175
Q

MED: Thiazolidinediones - how do they work? (like Biguanides)

-taken daily w NO regard to meals
-similar to Biguanide’s
UP risk/rate of bladder CA. Contraindicated in pts w Hx of Bladder CA

176
Q

MED: Thiazolidinediones - i.e.

Thiazolidinedione

  • UP insulin sensitivity at insulin receptors
  • LO amount of glucose released by liver
  • taken daily w NO regard to meals
178
Q

MED: Biguanide -(2 uses, Bi) how does it work?

A
  • used in combo w Sulfonylureas
  • LO hepatic glucose output
  • UP insulin sensitivity at cell. so don’t need as much
  • taken w 1st meal, 1x day
  • DOES NOT cause HYPOglycemia because it doesn’t raise insulin. only makes insulin already there more effective.
  • RISK hepatotoxicity. don’t use on pts using contrast mediums because dyes are nephrotoxic. drug already hard on kidneys
179
Q

MED: Metformin (Glucophage) class

A

Biguanide

  • taken w 1st meal, 1x day
  • DOES NOT cause HYPOglycemia because it doesn’t raise insulin. only makes insulin already there more effective.
  • used in combo w Sulfonylureas
  • LO hepatic glucose output
  • UP insulin sensitivity at cell. so don’t need as much
180
Q

MED: DPP-4 Inhibitors aka (Gliptins) - how do they work?

A
  • hormone in GI tract sign pancreas to produce insulin
  • glucagon like polypeptide 1 (GLP-1)
  • DPP-4 is protein found in blood. it stops breakdown of diff hormones to UP insulin to LOWER BG.
  • short acting in blood
  • taken w/out regard to food
  • Only for Type II, dependent on insulin releasing cells

i.e. Januvia

181
