  • Front
  • Back
a source of ready fuel for body cells
glucose
cells of the brain and rest of nervous system rely solely on
glucose for energy
fasting blood glucose equal or above 126 indicate
diabetes
is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia related inadequate insulin secretions, diminished insulin effectiveness or both
diabetes mellitus
this type of diabetes individual - cannot prevent, make no insulin need an outside source and most often detect at a young age
type 1 diabetes
it occurs from autoimmune response that damages or destroys pancreatic beta cells, leaving them unable to produce insulin
type 1 diabetes
classic symptoms of this type of diabetes polyuria (excessive urine), polydipsia (excessive thirst) and polyphagia (excessive appetite)
type 1 diabetes
what is the first sign of type 1 diabetes
ketoacidosis (DKA)
burning a lot fat, hyperventilate (get rid of extra co2 in system)
this type of diabetes occur at any age, account of 90-95% of dx cases of diabetes, non-insulin diabetes or adult-onset (this is preventable)
type 2 diabetes
decreased cellular response to insulin
insulin resistance
2 hour values in the oral glucose tolerance test of 140 to 199 mg/dl
impaired glucose tolerance
fasting plasma glucose level 100 to 125 mg/dl
impaired fasting glucose
fasting plasma glucose of 100 to 126 mg/dl or oral glucose tolerance test of 140 to 199 mg/dl
prediabetes
elevated blood levels of insulin
hyperinsulinemia
over 45, race, family hx, physical activity, giving birth to over 9lbs baby, previously id, HDL under 35 or trig over 250, nigricans
risk factor for type 2 diabetes
risk factor factors can be all put together as
metabolic syndrome
people with metabolic syndrome are ? as likely to develop diabetes
5X and risk of heart disease doubled
most effective tool in preventing or delaying type 2 diabetes
modest weight loss, moderate physical activity and healthy diet
is hyperglycemia that develops during pregnancy usually around 24th week of gestation
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM)
women at average risk of GDM should be tested at
24 to 28 weeks of gestation
long term complications of diabetes to small vessel (micorvascular) can lead to
retinopathy, nephropathy and neuropathy (dialysis)
long term complications of diabetes to large blood vessel (macrovascular) can increase the risk of
cardiovascular disease and stroke
alcohol counterpart of glucose - exerts osmotic pressure
sorbitol
compounds containing glucose or glucose fragments and proteins - high glucose levels can promote their formation
glycoproteins
state in which the production of oxidants - free radicals exceeds the body's ability to neutralize damaging effects
oxidative stress
type 1 and 2 diabetes - nutrition therapy, physical activity and blood glucose monitoring are all components of
diabetes management - goal to monitor glucose
preventing type 2 diabetes best resulted in - b/c type 2 link between excess weight and insulin resistance
weight loss, combination of healthy eating and exercise
whole grains correlate to improved
insulin sensitivity regardless of body weight
has been associated with improved insulin sensitivity and improved ability to secrete insulin to overcome insulin resistance
fiber
normal BMI
18.5 to 24.9
BMI 25.0 to 29.9 consider
overweight
BMI 30.0 begin
obese
over 40.0 BMI considered
extreme obesity
bariatric surgery reserved for people with
BMI equal or over 35
fruit, veggie, whole grain, legumes and low fat milk
good carbs
the incremental rise in blood glucose (above baseline) compared to that induced by a standard usually 50 g of glucose or a white bread challenge
glycemic index
of the same calorie level
isocalorically
sucrose and sucrose containing foods are not restricted but should be counted as carbs and not as
extra
people with diabetes are advised to limit their intake of sat fat to less than
7% of total calories
diabetes should consume less than how much cholesterol daily
200 mg
naturally occurring substances in plants that help block the absorption of cholesterol from the GI tract
plant sterols/stanols
people who take alcohol should be consume with food to avoid
hypoglycemia
this essential mineral has been studied for its possible role in the prevention and treatment of diabetes
chromium
whole grains, nuts, mushrooms, broccoli, egg yolks, yeast, organ meats, pork, dried peas and beans are sources of
chromium
nutrition recommendations for controlling diabetes - reduce protein intake to
0.8 to 1.0 early CKD to 0.8 for later stages of diabetic kidney dieases
treatment of management of CVD risk
control HB1AC and lower sodium intake, fruit, veggie and low fat dairy products
counting is appropriate for people who understand the importance of consuming consistent intake to match insulin or medication peaks
basic carbs
alpha lipoic acid, bitter melon (bitter cucumber), cassia cinnamon, fenugreek, gymnema
common supplements used in diabetes management
pharmacologic management of diabetes in type 1 diabetes in order for them to survive they rely on
exogenous insulin deliver by injection or pump
nutrition therapy and exercise are capable of controlling glucose in type 2 - however if not control type 2 will eventually require
oral agents, insulin or combination of both to manage blood glucose level
rapid or short acting insulin used before each meal so total number of daily injections is 3 to 4 hours
on set 15 min (rapid) to 30 (short) mins
intermediate and long- acting insulin used to meet basal need
onset 1 to 4 hours
Intensive insulin therapy for - this type of diabetic can vary their mealtime insulin dose based on carbs and timing of food - also change their insulin need dose for stress or exercise
type 1 diabetes
use long acting (one or 2 a day) (short acting between meals and snacks
type 1 diabetes - characterized by hyperglycemia over 250 and ketonemia
DKA
hyperventilation occurs in an attempt to correct acidosis by increasing expiration of
Carbon dioxide
if DKA occurs in type 2 diabetes - what is normally to blame
infection or illness
glucose levels over 600 mg this occur w/o significant ketonemia
HHNS
Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic Nonketotic Syndrome
HHNS most commonly in
type 2 diabetes
symptoms of HHNS include
dehydration, hypotension, decrease mental acuity, confusion, seizures and coma
treatment and best protection
protection = monitor glucose regularly and treatment insulin, fluid and electrolyte replacement (tx the same as DKA)
blood glucose below 70 mg is often referred to as insulin reaction
hypoglycemia
weakness, shakiness, dizziness, cold sweat, clammy feeling, headache, confusion, irritability and seizures are all symptoms of
hypoglycemia
15g to 20 g and any carbs containing glucose may be use to treat
hypoglycemia
exercise is beneficial to all however people with this type of diabetes ? can improve cardiac risk factors and sense of well being
type 1 diabetes
exercise can help improve glucose control and blood lipid levels, and blood pressure and help maintain weight loss in
type 2 diabetes
for all with diabetes and exercise should
exercise induced hypoglycemia
