104
Q

DKA info

A

An infection or other illness can cause your body to produce higher levels of certain hormones, such as adrenaline or cortisol. Unfortunately, these hormones counter the effect of insulin — sometimes triggering an episode of diabetic ketoacidosis. Pneumonia and urinary tract infections are common culprits.

105
Q

DKA info

A

Diabetic ketoacidosis occurs when a person with diabetes becomes dehydrated. As the body produces a stress response, hormones (unopposed by insulin due to the insulin deficiency) begin to break down muscle, fat, and liver cells into glucose (sugar) and fatty acids for use as fuel.

106

Acetone, excreted by Lungs

113
Q

rebound hyperglycemia

A

Somogyi effect - high blood sugar that is a response to low blood sugar.

114
Q

Dawn Phenomenon

A

a normal rise in blood sugar as a person’s body prepares to wake up.

In early am, hormones cause the liver to release large amounts of sugar into bloodstream. body produces insulin to control rise in blood sugar.
If body doesn’t produce enough insulin, blood sugar levels can rise. This may cause high blood sugar in the morning (before eating).

135
Q

Which is a Sulfonylurea?

Metformin, Actos, Precose, Glucotrol?

A

Glucotrol

136
Q

how do Sulfonylureas work?

A

stimulate pancreas to release insulin. NOT dependent on BG

137

A

-UP insulin sensitivity at insulin receptors
-LO amount of glucose released by liver
-taken daily w NO regard to meals
(similar to Biguanides)

139
Q

How do Alpha-Glucosidases work?

A
  • prolong absorption of carbs in stomach & intestines. BLOCKS enzyme needed to digest starch.
  • slows post prandial, UP BG
  • given w EACH meal on 1st bite, not convenient
