Role of Insulin
|
Takes glucose out of the blood and transports it into cells
|
|
|
Role of Glucoagon
|
opposite manner of insulin to balance over all blood glucose control
|
|
|
Role of somatostalin
|
inhibits secretion of insulin, glucagon and other hormones. Regulates circulation of blood glucose
|
|
|
HYPERglycemia
|
blood glucose is elevated above normal
|
|
|
HYPOglycemia
|
low blood glucose
|
|
|
Signs of HYPOglycemia
|
paleness, sweat, disorented
|
|
|
Type I diabetes
|
5 - 10 % of all cases
Insulin dependent develops rapidly more severe cause by distruction of cells in the pancreas |
|
|
Type II diabetes
|
90 - 95% of cases
strong genetic link present in older/obese insulin resistant or insulin defect |
|
|
Gestational diabetes
|
Occurs during pregnancy
|
|
|
where is insulin
|
liver & muscles
|
|
|
Where is glucagon
|
stored glucose and fat
brain needs glucagon to survive |
|
|
where is somatostaitin
|
inhibits sectetion of insulin, glucagon and other hormones
|
|
|
normal blood glucose range
|
70- 110 mg/dl
|
|
|
Impaired glucose tolerance
|
> or = 110 - 126 mg/dl
|
|
|
diabetic range
|
> or = 200 mg/dl
fasting glucose - 126 mf/dl |
|
|
sources of blood glucose
|
carbs, fats
|
|
|
use of blood glucose
|
burning for cell oxidation to use for immediate energy needs
changes to glycogen and stores it in the muscle and liver changes to fat |
|
|

|
increased:
thirst, urine, hunger, weightloss |
|
|
Early symptoms of diabete
|
Blurred vision, dehydration, skin irritation, weakness, poor wound healing
|
|
|
long term complications
|
retinopathy - blindness
nephropathy - neuropathy - nervous system damage heart disease |
