What the short-term risks associated with hyperglycemia in the hospital setting
increased srik fo complication, mortaility and a long hospital stay, and high admission rate to ICU
What is the MOA of hyperglycemia in the acute setting
increases in counteregulatory hormones due stress which results in alterations in carb metabolism, insulin resistane, and increase hepatic glucose production, and release of inflmattory mediators
What are glucose goal for in-patients for fasting and random glucose glucose according to ADA
FBG 90-130

Random BG <180
What are the 3 components for GENERAL treatment for hospitized pts
Basal insulin
Nutritional Insulin
Correction dose insulin (based on insulin senstivity)
1/2 of TDD insulin is secretetd as a basal function, and 1/2 is secreted due to nutrtional intake!, when correctional dose insulin given
correct hypergylcemia that occurs depiste the basal and nutrtional insulin
Basal insulin (glargine or detemir) shoould be provided when
ALWAYS be proved, even when the person is NOT eating
Can you use NPH is a pts who is NPO event though it peaks
YES--however should recduce dose
Who should be given nurtional insulin (rapid acting aspart, glulisine, and lispro)
patient who are eating meals or bolus tube feeding
What is the con of using regular insulin for nutrtional insulin
must be given 30 minutes before meal--problem with nursing usints
Patient who are NOT recieving any nuration should NOT receive
nurtional insulin
What type of insulin is usually used for correctional dose
SAME as the nutrtional insulin

RAPID acting

Could be regular
When is correctional dose insulin usually given
SAME time as the nurtional insulin

or every 4-6 hours if patietns are NOT
If a correction dose insulin is required consistently or in high dose--what is needed
modifiction to the basal and or nurtional insulin
As a general rule what is a conservating starting point for TDD of insulin in MOST patients
0.4 units/kg--TDD
When sould a LOWER insulin dose of 0.3 units/kg be STARTED (INSULIN SENSITIVE PT
ELDERLY patients or patient with CrCL <60
What can be a TDD started in obses pats or patients receiving corticosteriod (INSULIN RESISTANT)
0.5 units/kg
How should insulin be given in patient eating meal
Basal insulin 50% of TDD (Glargine qd)
and nutrtional insulin 50%--divided equally into 3 meals and given with means
Correctional before every meal and qHS
How should insulin be given if patient NOT eating
50% TDD of Basal insulin
Correction insulin q4 hours (RAA)

NO NUTRTIONAL insulin b/c NOT eating
What patients can CONTINUE the HOME regimen in the hopsital
CLINICALLY STABLE, normal nurtional intake, NORMAL BG values,a dn stable renal and cardic function
What is the MAIN disadvantage of continuing the home regimen in the hopital
difficult to quickly tirate to effect
Sliding Scale insulins IS NOT recommend as monothearpy, wht
it is more reactive strategy that treat hyperglycemia after its already occur does not PREVENT

and we that hyperglycemia is assoicted with increased risk of complictions,and long hostpials and mortaility
What is the preffered use of IV insulin
for the ICU
What is the preferred use of SUBQ inuslin
NON-crtically ill patients
What makes the Basal/Bolus reigmen the ideal reigmen for treatment of hyperglycemia
acts rapids, mimics normal physiologic insulin
What are some cons of the Basal bolus reigmen
matching insulin based pts variable can be difficult, more time consuming the SSI
When should you be monitoring BG
before each meal and at bedtime

or every 6 hours in pts that NOT eating

Signs/Symptoms of Hypoglycemia
FOr patients with BG <70 how do treat if paitnet is alert
ORAL intake of 20g of carb (6 oz of fruit just or soda or cracks), and check every 20 minutes and repeat until BG >70
What are important componets of education for discharge
SMBG, adminstiration, hypogylcemia both recognition and treatment, glycemic goals, and education about sick day treatments
