Physiology
These are two of the liver's processes that are INHIBITED by insulin.
What are gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis?
These are 3 of the "5 I's" that classically cause DKA.
What are insulin noncompliance, infection, infarction, ischemia, and intoxication (alcohol)?
This is the normal range for a patient's capillary blood sugar reading
What is 80-120mg/dl
These are 3 causes of hypoglycemia.
What is too much insulin/or other diabetes medications, alcohol, skipping meals
Metabolic syndrome is
What is risk factors that increase the risk of coronary artery disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes
This acts as a carrier of glucose to enter the cells and be used
What is Insulin?
DKA is classified as any level over this
What is 300mg/dL
What is Type 1 Diabetes or IDDM (Insulin dependent diabetes mellitus)
These are three causes of hyperglycemia
what is, Obesity, infection, non compliant with medication
Extra weight around the middle and upper parts of the body
What is central obesity
Excess glucose is stored in this location in the body and stored as what
What is the Liver and glycogen
Anything over this level will get treated prehospitally
What is 250mg/DL
This type of Diabetes has a later age onset, is associated with obesity, causes cells to be less receptive to insulin
What is Type 2 diabetes or NIDDM (Non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus)
Insulin pumps do what
What is secrete short acting insulin over 24 hours
Your body uses insulin less effectively than normal
What is insulin resistance
Your pancreas releases this which in turn stimulates the liver
What is Glucagon
This type of fluid is preferred in DKA
What is Lactated Ringers
These three medications are common for treating type 2 diabetes
What is Metformin, Chlorpropamide, Glyburide
**some may need insulin
What is suspend pump administration or disconnect
These are three components of metabolic syndrome
The liver breaks this into glucose
What is Glycogen
Your patient is a 48 yr/o male found unresponsive by his wife, wife denies any medical hx states that the patient has been extremely stressed out at work. Your blood sugar reading in your meter reads "HI" What is your differential diagnosis?
What is hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state?
This type of diabetes occurs during pregnancy
What is gestational diabetes
Common heart problems diabetics are at risk for
This is the greatest risk factor for metabolic syndrome
Obesity
