Endocrine Disorders Part 1 Diabetes Complications Flashcards
(107 cards)
Glucagon
Function…
Secreted from…
Triggered by…
Increase blood sugar
Alpha cells in the pancreas
Low blood sugar
Insulin
Function….
Secreted from…
Triggered by…..
Lowers blood sugar; brings glucose into the cells
Beta cells in the pancreas
Triggered by high blood sugar
Somatostatin
Secreted from…
Function….
Delta cells in the pancreas
Inhibits release both Insulin & Glucagon
________ also known as vasopressin, is a peptide hormone produced by the hypothalamus and stored in the posterior pituitary gland.
Regulates water balance, blood pressure, and kidney function
Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)
Less ADH production
Urine more (concentrated / dilute)
Risk for (dehydration/ Fluid overload)
Urine is more dilute with less ADH production.
Risk dehydration. Less ADH = more diuress
Old age, less estrogen production.
Describe
Bones…
Skin…
Risk for Cystitis…
Interventions….
Less bone density: Teach weight bearing exercises
Skin: Fragile / Thin: Be Gentle Movint pt
Q2h posistioning
Old age has a decreased Glucose Tolerance
Describe blood sugars…
Wound healing…
Infections….
Other problems….
Increased Fasting & Random BS
Wounds heal slowly
Yeast infections
Polydipsia & Polyuria common
Old age can share SS of hyperthyroidism…
False
SS of hypothyroidism
Lethargy, constipation, low cognitive, slow speech, low body temperature.
HR <60
Criteria for diagnosis of diabetes
A1C > _____
And
Fasting blood glucose > or equal to_____
Or
Two-hour blood glucose > or equal to _____ during the oral glucose tolerance testing
Or
Pt with hyperglycemic crisis (Random glucose >_____)
A1C >6.5 %
And
Fasting BS 126 or >
Or
two hour BS 200 or >
Or
Random bs >200
Glucose Range
Hypoglycemia ______
Normal range for fasting bs _____
Hyperglycemia _______
Hypoglycemia <74
Normal 74 - 106
Hyperglycemia >106
PATHO
Beta cell destruction
Absolute insulin deficiency
IDIOPATHIC
Autoimmune
Onset usually < than ____ yrs old
Maybe caused by virus Mumps / Coxsackie
ALL DEPENDENT ON INSULIN
Type 1
Onset less than 30 years Usually
Symptoms
Thristy
Frequent urination
Weight loss
Blurred vision
Fatigue
Type 1 DM
PATHO
Occurs any age in adults
Progessive disorder
Insulin resistance occurs before the onset of this type of DM
60 - 80% Correlation with Obesity
Heredity plays major role
Insulin required for 20 - 30 %
Type II DM
Maturity-Onset diabetes of the young (MODY)
Cause….
Loss of insulin function & hyperglycemia
Usually young adults but can occur at any age
Resembles type I (Requires insulin & Risk for DKA)
Not autoimmune
Cause: Inherited gene mutation
Key Features
Early Onset – Typically appears in adolescence or early adulthood (before 25 years old).
Strong Family History – Autosomal dominant inheritance, meaning a 50% chance of passing it to offspring.
Mild Hyperglycemia – Can be managed with diet, oral medications, or low-dose insulin.
No Autoimmune Destruction – Unlike Type 1 diabetes, MODY is not caused by an autoimmune attack on beta cells.
Variable Clinical Presentation – Symptoms range from mild hyperglycemia to more severe diabetes requiring treatment.
Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the young (MODY)
Which pregnant women are screened for Gestational Diabetes…
All
3 classic diabetes symptoms…
Polyuria: dehydration & electrolyte loss
Polydipsia
Polyphagia: No glucose in cells (it stays in the blood) = cell starvation & Hunger
Fasting Blood Glucose (FBG) Test
Purpose: Measures blood sugar after at least 8 hours of fasting.
Normal Range:
Prediabetes:
Diabetes:
Normal Range: 70–99 mg/dL (3.9–5.5 mmol/L)
Prediabetes: 100–125 mg/dL (5.6–6.9 mmol/L)
Diabetes: 126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L) or higher on two separate tests
Random Blood Glucose (RBG) Test
Purpose: Measures blood sugar at any time, regardless of when the last meal was.
Normal Range….
Diabetes….
Normal Range: Below 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L)
Diabetes: 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) or higher, along with symptoms like excessive thirst, urination, or weight loss
Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT)
Purpose: Measures blood sugar before and after drinking a glucose solution (typically 75g of glucose). Blood sugar is tested at fasting, 1 hour, and 2 hours.
Fasting:
Normal….
Prediabetes….
Diabetes…
2-Hour Post-Glucose:
Normal…
Prediabetes….
Diabetes….
Fasting:
Normal: Below 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L)
Prediabetes: 100–125 mg/dL (5.6–6.9 mmol/L)
Diabetes: 126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L) or higher
2-Hour Post-Glucose:
Normal: Below 140 mg
Prediabetes: 149- 199
Diabetes….
When should test indicating diabetes be repeated….
Always unless SS of hyperglycemia
People to screen for DM…
> 45
BMI > 25
Fluoroquinolones
Beta blockers
Corticosteroids
Thiazide diuretics
Protease inhibitors (HIV / antiretrovirals)
Antipsychotics (Olanzapine/ clozapine)
All have this affect on BS…
Ríase BS

Diet and exercise
Meds maybe used. Lowest effective dose
