Insulin used for?
1 |
Treatment of Type 1 diabetes, gestational diabetes and for patients on TPN (total parenteral nutrition)
|
|
Reason for TPN to get insulin
2 |
Sugar goes into blood and not liver to be metablolizm, not stimulated
|
|
Insulin goal
3 |
A steady state of the blood glucose is the goal of therapy in order to minimize long term complications of hyperglycemia and to prevent hypoglycemic events.
3 |
|
What glucose levels should be
4 |
HgbA1c<7% Indication of glucose control every 4 months.
Glucose levels 80-140 mg/dl Bedtime Glucose levels >/or= to, 140mg/dl |
|
Rapid acting insulins
5 |
lispro works 30 min or less given with meals.
o=minutes p=30-60min d=3-4hrs. |
|
Other rapid acting
6 |
Aspart
Glulisrine onset 15min good till 5 hrs. |
|
Short Acting regular insulin subcue
7 |
o=30-60min
p=2-4hrs d=5-7hrs Humilin R- only one available Numbulin R- becauase of reaction. Given for sliding scale. If bs level to high. |
|
Regular insulin IV
8 |
IV insulin always regular
o=10-30min p=15-30min d=30-60min |
|
Intermediate acting Insulins
isophane suspension, NPH insulin sc: 9 |
o=1-4hrs
p=6-12hrs d=18-28hrs |
|
Intermediate acting insulin
zinc suspension, lente insulin 10 |
0=1-3hrs
p=8-12hrs d=18-28hrs |
|
Long acting insulins
extend zinc suspension, ultralente insulin 11 |
o=4-6hrs
p=18-24hrs d=36hrs |
|
Insulin mixtures
12 |
NPH insulin plus regular insulin
70/30 & 50/50 o=30min p=4-8hrs d=up to 24hrs |
|
Nursing Implications related to insulin administration
Patient Education 13 |
regarding
disease medical alert band signs and symptoms and treatment of hypoglycemia exercise insulin administration blood glucose monitoring sick day management patients activities |
|
Signs and symptoms of treatment of hypoglycemia
14 |
a patient shuold carry a quick acting form sugar at all times
Family members should be instructed in the administration of glucagon |
|
Excercise related to Insulin
15 |
Helps glucose get into the cells and can decrease daily requirements of insulin, lowers blood glucose levels
avoid exercising when at peak times of insulin absorption do not exercise if glucose level is over 300 mg/dl, will increase rather then decrease |
|
Insulin administration
16 |
abdomen>arms>thighs>buttocks
Clear before cloudy, within 20 minutes after drawing up. |
|
Storage and Stability for insulin
17 |
Room temperature for 18-24 months, will lose potency if stored at temperatures over 100 degrees F; used vitals at room temperature, refrigerate unused vials, do not freeze, do not store in direct sunlight.
|
|
Sick day management for insulin
18 |
More frequent monitoring of blood glucose levels, test urine for ketones, 200 and or your ketone levels are elevated on 2 or more consecutive testings.
|
|
Sliding scale insulin
19 |
with regular insuline coverage, doctor order how many units
|
|
10% rule
20 |
with regular insulin coverage, baseline 200-300.
|
|
Activity level with insuline
21 |
consider the patients activities for the day before dosing with insulin, status patient is nauseated or has been vomiting.
Human type is the most widely used today. Use only syringes calibrated for U-100 insulin, Lispro rapid acting |
|
Adverse Effects of insulin
22 |
Hypoglycemia, (lipodystrophy, lipoatrophy)-sute if ubhectuib wgerem cab gave fat deposits, weight gain.
|
|
Drug interactions related to insulin administration
23 |
Beta blockers may mask the signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia
Thiazide diuretics, glucocorticoids, calcium channel blockers, thyroid drugs, estrogen and nicotine may increase insulin requirements (ie. increase blood glucose levels) Testosterone, ETOH, coumadin, oral hypoglycemic agents may decrease insulin requirements (ie. decrease blood glucose) levels) |
|
Sulfonylureas
24 |
May have allergies.
Stimulates the release of insulin from the pancreas. Increases insulin receptor binding (helps imrove insulin resistance) |
|
First generation sulfonylureas
25 |
3 times a day more of a chance of reaction.
|
|

|
Second Generation Sulfonylureas
29 |

|
Nursing Implications related to Sulfonylureas
33 |
Patients may need insulin
If sick the patient should not take thier Sulfonylurea Patient should carry a quick acting sugar with them at all times for potential hypglycemic reactions Patients should be taught to avoid ETOH Patients should not be taught to use sunscreen and protective clothing when outside Should not take oral hypoglycemic |
|
Adverse Effects related to Sulfonylureas
