|
|

|
In Type 2 diabetics there is an increase in the synthesis of _______.
|
Glucagon
|
|
In Type 2 Diabetes what organ mainly fails to respond normally to insulin? This leads to a deficiency of what?
|
Liver
Glycogen synthesis |
|
Impaired glucose tolerance is called what?
|
Insulin Resistance
|
|
What 3 things lead to increased glucose production in Type 2 Diabetics?
|
1. Increased glucagon synthesis
2. Increased FFA mobilization 3. Decreased glucose utilization (no insulin, therefore no way to inhibit glycogenolysis/gluconeogenesis) |
|
What hormone is diminished in Type 2 Diabetics that is responsible for 50% of postprandial insulin release in healthy patients?
|

|
|
T/F GTT are now routine for all pregnancies at 24-28th week of gestation.
|
False, they are no longer routinely checked
|
|
What demographic is routinely checked for a diabetic condition during pregnancy? What week of pregnancy (range)?
|
>25 yoa OR in high risk group
24-28th week of gestation |
|
What are the two conditions seen in infants when the mother was hyperglycemic during pregnancy?
|
1) Infant Respiratory Distress Syndrome - Hyperglycemia/insulinemia cause decreased levels of surfactant
2) Macrosomnia - >9 lbs at birth |
|
How does an infant at birth suddenly develop hypoglycemia when born from a hyperglycemic mother?
|
Insulin doesn't cross placental membrane but glucose does. At birth fetus is producing its own insulin which rapidly decreases hyperglycemic condition from mother but is not producing its own glucose so a hyperinsulinemic and subsequent hypoglycemic state arises.
|
|
T/F First generation oral hypoglycemic agents can be used during pregnancy.
|
False, they are contraindicated because they can cross the placental membrane.
|

|
Both are true
|
