DM part 2 Flashcards
what do all people with type 1 diabetes need
insulin to survive
which country is highest for type 1 diabetes
finland
what are the types of insulin
humalog (lispro), novalog (aspart)
regular insulin
NPH, Humulin N
lantus (glargine), levemir (detemir)
what are rapid acting insulin
lispro (humalog)
aspart (novalog)
what is the onset, peak and duration of rapid acting insulin
onset: 10-30 min
peak: 30 min to 3 hr
duration: 3-5 hours
what are short acting insulin
regular (humulin R or novolin R)
what is the onset, peak and duration of short acting insulin
onset: 30 min-1hr
peak: 2-5 hr
duration 5-8 hr
what are intermediating acting insulin
NPH (Humulin N or novolin N)
what is the onset, peakk and duration of intermediate acting insulin
onset 1.5-4 hr
peak 4-12 hr
duration 12-18 hour
what are long acting insulin
glargine (lantus)
Detemir (levemir)
degludec (tresiba)
what is the onset,peak and duration for long acting linsulin
onset 0.8 -4 hours
peak no pronounced peak
duration 18-24 hours
what is inhaled insulin
really fast ex: afrezza can't use if you have pulmonary problems onset 12-15 min peak 60 min duration 2.5-3 hr
can long acting be mixed
no, pH will inactive each other
you can take at the same time just in different syringes
how is insulin stored
can be kept room temp for a month once open
can mix leave in fridge for 1 week
if unopened leave in fridge
which insulin is the longest
degludec last up to 42 hours
can’t be mixed
what are premixed insulins
NPH/regular 70/30 MOST COMMON
aspart 0/30
lispro 50/50
lispro 75/25
how do type 1 base insulin dosage on
how many carbs
what BG is
how much physical activity
what are the new insulins
degludec (tresibu) 200 units/mL (the longest acting, long insulin that can be mixed with others, comes in a pen and twice as concentrated)
glargine (toujeo) 300 units/ ml
insulin R 500 untils/mL (type 2 b/c insulin resistance)
inhaled insulin- afrezza, technosphere
lispro U -200
what are insulin therapy for type 1
rapid before meals
long acting either morning or night for background
what are insulin therapy for type 2
basal at first, long acting
might need rapd
what is the most common mistake with insulin
not giving the right type
what do you do first with the pen
go to 2 to prime to get the air out
what are problems with insulin therapy
hypoglycemia - limiting facor for type 1
allergic reaction
lipodystrophy- using same spot, skin gets thicker, absorption slower, so move spots
smoggy effect- wake up with high BG from too much insulin
which insulin is used for PRN
rapid because we want BG down
