Diabetes mellitus (DM) =
term used to describe a group of metabolic diseases characterized by chronic hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both
fasting plasma glucose
no caloric intake for 8 hours
oral glucose toloerance test
administer 75g anhydrous glucose or 1.75g/kg body wieght glucose for max of 75 g
impaired glucose tolerance
2 h post load of 140-199
impaired fasting glucose
BG 100-125
autoimmune DM 1
beta cell destruction, absolute insulin deficiency and DKA
insulin resistant DM2
range from predominantly inuslin resistnace with relative insulin deficiency to predominantly secretory defect with or w/o insulin resistance
clinical presentation of DM
polyuria, polyphagia, polydipsia. also blurred vision, weight loss, fatigue, dry skin, slow healing wounds
diagnostic critieria for DM
must be confirmed next day if no unequivcal hyperglycemia. 1) symptoms + random BG>=200, 2) FPG>=126, 3) 2 hr post load>= 200
normal fpg and ogtt
fpg<100, OGTT<140
impaired fpg and ogtt
fpg100-125, OGTT 140-199
DM fpg and ogtt
fpg>=126, ogtt >=200
3 presentations of DM 2
asymptomatic, mild symptoms, BG>250 and ketosis
asymptomatic, 1st line
diet and exercise
mild sympt, 1st line
metformin
bg>250, ketosis, symptoms 1st line
insulin
what is the action of inuslin
Increases glucose uptake in tissues, inc liver glycogen, decreases glycogenolysis, increases fatty acid synthesis, decreases metabolism of fatty acids to ketones
rapid acting insulin
aspart, lispro, glulisine
short acting insulin
regluar
intermediate acting insulin
NPH
long acting glucose
glargine, detemir
1 unit of insulin lowers BG by ___
25-50 units
honeymoon period
for patients with DM 1- period that often follows diagnosis and initiation of insulin treatment. It is often suggestive of remission, but it is important to note that the two are unrelated - it is not a cure for type 1 diabetes. During this period some of the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas have not been completely destroyed yet and produce unpredictable amounts of endogenous insulin.
sick day management
keep taking insulin, stop metformin if npo. Reduce long acting insulin to basal levels and use sliding scale coverage
somogyi effect
post-hypoglycemic hyperglycemia, decrease bedtime NPH or give evening NPH later
dawn phenomenon
rise in BG in early AM, increase evening NPH dose
metoformin acts to..
decreases gluconeogenesis, decreases glucose absorption, increases insulin sensitivity, does not stimulate insulin secretion
side effects of metforming
n/v/d, metal taste, low b12, lactic acidosis
combo of metformin with..
glyburide
1st gen sufonlyurea
chlorpropamide, tolazamide, tolbutamide
2nd gen sulfonylurea
glimepiride, glipizide, glyburide
ae 1st gen sulfonlyureas
lo bg, weight gain, n/v/d/, rash, heme rxns
ae 2nd gen sulfonylureas
less than 1st gen
moa of sulfonylureas
binds to beta cells, stimulates insulin relsease
late compliactions of DM and how to fix
dislipidemia - statins, hypertension - acis, arbs, diuretics
how much weight to lower insulin resistance
10-20 lb
bg in dka
<600
dm type of dka
dm 1
serum bicarb dka
low to normal
ketonemia in dka
positive
arterial ph in dka
<7.3 (low)
waht is the 4-2-1 rule
is 10 kg 4, 11-20 kg 2, 20-50 kg 1 ml/hr
max rate of K in mEq/kg/hr
0.5
do you use bicarb to replae acidosis in dka?
NO
dose of insulin per hour given in dka
0.1 u/kg/hr for 1-2 hr after fluid replacement
risk factors for cerebral edema
low ca, inc bun, severe acidosis, treatment with bicarb, na inc during therapy, large volume in firts 4 h, insulin in 1st hour
