What is Dawn effect ?
• Fasting hyperglycemia
– Resulting from early
morning (Dawn) release
of counter-regulatory
hormones: cortisol,
Growth Hormone

--Glucose increase early in the morning due to increase in cortisol and GH
What is Somogyi effect ?
Rebound effect. When blood sugar gets too low the body has a rebound (glucagon released to bring glycogen stores out of the liver) to increase blood glucose

oral med or injection are both ok. ORAL only if pt is alert.

The story of two polys are it relates to clincal manifestations just means that the more you pee, the more you crave WATER (THIRSTY). (POLYURIA RESULTS IN POLYDIPSIA)
Glucose is stored in the ______ and _______ ______ . Glucose is NOT stored in the b_____.
Glucose is stored in the LIVER and SKELETAL MUSCLE . Glucose is NOT stored in the BRAIN.
How do alpha cells regulate glucose? How do beta cells regulate glucose? How are beta cells effected in type 1 diabetes?
Alpha cells release glucagon which releases glucose into the bloodstream. Beta cells release insulin and amylin which stores glucose in liver and muscle cells as glycogen or fat.

The beta cells are destroyed in type 1 diabetes. Type 2 beta cells are impaired AND there is INSULIN RESISTANCE at insulin receptor.

type 1 diabetes
