25
Neuropathy can cause problems in
- Feet and hands - Heart and circulation - Stomach, bladder, and sex organs
26

blindness | kidney disease
27
3 bricks to diabetes management plan

In sulin Sensitizers Major Side Effects
•Fluid Retention •Weight gain •Headaches and muscle pain •Elevated liver enzymes (should have liver function tests prior to taking medication) •Should not take if history of Congestive Heart Failure •Increased chance of ovulation in menopausal women and decreases effectiveness of birth control pills
39
Oral Medications for Type 2 Diabetes:
Insulin Sensitizers Avandia Actos
40
What do Avandia Actos improve?
Improve insulin senstiivity, helping cells use blood glucose for energy
41
Oral Medications for type 2 diabetes:
``` Sulfonylureas Amaryl DiaBeta, Glynase, Microname Glucotrol, Gluctotrol XL Diabinese ```
42
Sulfonylureas cause the pancreas to
produce more insulin, which lowers blood glucose
43
Glycosated hemoglobin levels-red blood cells that are bound to glucose for the life of that cell. Test monitors how well patient is controlling the disease by taking an average of blood glucose levels over 3 months.
HbA1c Levels
44
eAG

45
Type 1 a. May need: Oral medication or oral medication and insulin alone b. Insulin is always needed
b.
46
Type 2 a. May need: Oral medication or oral medication and insulin alone b. Insulin is always needed
a
47
*** Biguanides Major side effects
``` Nausea Diarrhea Vimitting Sometiems weight loss * To decrease side effects, start with low dose and take with food, often side effects subsdie over time. ```
