(166 cards)
fasting plasma glucose OR
after 8hours of fasting
> or equal to 7.0 mmol/l 126 mg/dL
Diabetes mellitus is defined as
elevated blood glucose
absent or inadequate pancreatic insulin secretion
without concurrent impairment of insulin action
2 hour plasma glucose
75 g oral glucose load
> or equal to 11.1 mmol/l (200 mg/dl)
uncommon criteria in WHO DM
elevated RBS
glycosylated hemoglobin
signs and symptoms of DM
polyphagia polyuria polydipsia blurred vision fatigue nausea dry skin
type 1 insulin dependent diabetes hallmark
selective Beta cell destruction
absolute insulin deficiency
type 2 noninsulin dependent diabetes hallmark
insulin resistance
relative insulin deficiency
fist diagnosis of gestational DM
during pregnancy
progresses to frank diabetes
interruption of insulin replacement therapy in type 1 DM can result to
diabetic ketoacidosis
type 2 DM dehydration can lead to
hyperketotic hyperosmolar coma
increases in response to different stimuli especially glucose
INSULIN
variability of insulin absorption is more prominent with
regular human insulin and NPH insulin
half life of insulin
3-5 minutes
endogenous insulin is secreted more by
liver 60%
exogenous insulin is excreted more by the
kidney. 60%
insulin binds with
alpha sub TKR
basal insulin value
5-15 uu/mL (30-90 pmol/l)
peak insulin value
60-90 uu/ml (369-540 pmol/l)
human sources of insulin made from
recombinant DNA
pork or beef insulin can cause
hyoersensitivity
not produced anymore
different concentrations of insulin prep
u-100
u-500
u-40
only concentration of insulin available in the Philippines
u-100
concentration used in other countries for insulin resistance
u-500
used in other countries for pedia DM
