Insulin major actions: (3)

3. synthesis of glycogen, fat, and protein.
insufficient insulin results in: (2)
1. inability to use glucose as a fuel.
2. increase lipolysis of stored fat, mobilization of free fatty acid as fuel.

Exercise guidelines for DM: Resting HR? Response?
Elevated resting HR with blunted respoinse
Exercise guidelines for DM: BP?
postural hypotension.
mal-adaptive HR and BP response due to autonomic neuropahty.
Exercise guidelines for DM: blood glucose
should decrease during exercise, but can increase.
could have rebound effect 4-6 hrs later.

skin is dry, tongue is dry, foul smelling breath, very thirsty, deep respiration, vomiting, rapid and feeble pulse, low BP, acute abdominal pain, severe fatigue.
what to do about diabetic coma?
give insulin immediately.
EMERGENCY.
how to avoid exercise induced hypoglycemia? (4)
1. eat carbs 30 min before exercise.
2. start moderately and gradually increase intensity.
3. avoid exercise to the injected muscle.
4. have a snack available for each 30-45min of exercise.
what are symptoms of hypoglycemic coma?
pale, sweating, sudden onsent, may follow insulin injection, moist tongue, shallow respiration, full and rebounding pulse, normal BP and NO abdomninal pain.
what to do about hypoglycemic coma?
provide rapidly absorbed carbohydrates - fruit juices, candy bars, sugary sodas.
at what glucose level should you postpone testing?
>200mg/dl.
if <100, then ingest some carbohydrates.
What is PAOD?
chronic, progrsesive disease characterized by limited blood flow to one or more extermities.
