LESSON 1 Flashcards
A greek word means “to flow through”
Diabetes
Latinword which means “honeyed”
Mellitus
It is a chronic (long-lasting) health condition that affects how your body turns into energy.
Diabetes
It is thought to be caused by an autoimmune reaction (the body itself by mistake) that stops your body from making insulin.

B. PREDIABETES
B. PREDIABETES
- Develops in pregnant women who have
never had diabetes. - The baby could be at higher risk for health
problems - Usually goes away after your baby is born
but increases your risk for type 2 diabetes
later in life
GESTATIONAL DIABETES
- Blood sugar levels are higher than
normal, but not high enough yet to be
diagnosed as type 2 diabetes - Risk for type 2 diabetes, heart disease and
stroke.

What is the normal value for fasting glucose test
Less than 100
What is the value of Prediabetes for fasting glucose test?

Give 3 NURSING MANAGEMENT for Diabetes
NURSING MANAGEMENT
* Review factors in glucose instability; and
educate the client about diet, exercise,
healthy lifestyle, and hyper or hypoglycemia
events.
o If the patient is admitted in the hospital,
nurses are assigned to conduct the
Random (anytime) glucose test through
pricking the patient early in the morning
and during the evening or depends on
the doctor’s prescription
o Nurses are responsible in providing the
medicines of the diabetic patients
o Nurses are also responsible for the diet of
the patient. Note if the patient finished
his food or not because it will affect the
patient’s blood glucose
o Nurses should monitor also other foods
the patient eat.
* Monitor VS; I&O and weight
o Nurses should monitor the vital
signs. Monitor the intake and output
especially the water consumed and urine
excretion of the patient. Monitor the
weight
* Discuss how client’s anti-diabetic medications
work
* Check injection sites periodically for client
administering insulin
o Check if the injection site already had
hematoma. If it happens, apply first aid.
* Educate about home glucose monitoring
o Nurses are responsible to educate
patients on how to use glucometer and
how to tally results
o Glucometer is not available before that is
why educating older people with
glucometer is necessary.

What is the DIETARY MANAGEMENT for DIABETES?
DIET:
* HIGH FIBER DIET
o Normal diet with fiber increased
o Give more whole grains, fruits, and
vegetables
- LOW FAT DIET
o Severely restricted fats allowed 10-15% of
TER
o All foods rich in fats are not allowed or
restricted
o Foods cooked by a method not requiring
the addition of fats - Especially if the patient has a high
cholesterol level in the blood, high
triglycerides, high LDL, and low HDL.
Patient is advised for a severely restricted
diet. Instead of giving 20-35% of TER for
fats, they are only allowed for 10-15% of
fats TER per day.
T or F.
Encourage rich desserts to to a diabetic patient.
FALSE
Give a food selection for diabetes
Give skimmed milk, lean meat, cereals, fruits,
and vegetables. Avoid fatty meats, rich
desserts, and fried foods.
o Avoid rich desserts because it can be
made with trans-fat or simple sugar or
added sugar or processed sugar or
refined sugar.
DIETARY MANAGEMENT OF DIABETES (T OR F)
The carbohydrates intake depends on the
metabolic needs, type of diabetes or degree of
glucose tolerance and individual preferences.
TRUE
The amount of carbohydrate ingested
has the most significant influence on
blood glucose levels after meals, the
more grams of carbohydrates
consumed, the greater the glycemic
response.
DIETARY MANAGEMENT OF DIABETES (T OR F)
Carbohydrates intake must
not be consistent at
meals and snacks to help reduce fluctuations
in blood glucose levels between meals
FALSE
Carbohydrates intake must be consistent at
meals and snacks to help reduce fluctuations
in blood glucose levels between meals
DIETARY MANAGEMENT FOR DIABETES
- The carbohydrates intake depends on the
metabolic needs, type of diabetes or degree of
glucose tolerance and individual preferences.
* The amount of carbohydrate ingested
has the most significant influence on
blood glucose levels after meals, the
more grams of carbohydrates
consumed, the greater the glycemic
response. - Carbohydrates intake must be consistent at
meals and snacks to help reduce fluctuations
in blood glucose levels between meals - Give carbohydrates foods that are low in GI
effects such as high in fiber foods like fresh
fruits, legumes, and whole grains. These foods
have a moderate effect on blood glucose. - Minimize foods and beverages with added
sugar and excessive use of fructose as a sugar
alternative. Because these are high in
glycemic index and has an adverse effect on
blood lipid levels. - Sugar alcohols are not recommended.
Because although sugar alcohols such as
sorbitol and mannitol have lower glycemic
effects than glucose, fructose or sucrose, but
their use has no significant long-term
improvement on glycemic control - Artificial sweeteners such as aspartame,
saccharin, and sucralose contain no digestible
carbohydrates and can be safely used in
place of sugar - Alcohol is w/ a daily limit of one drink for
women and two drinks for men. Alcohol can
cause hypoglycemia by interfering with
glucose production in the liver. Excessive
alcohol can worsen hyperglycemia and it can
also raise triglyceride levels - Should limit saturated fat intake to less than
7% of total kcal from fats. Should minimize
consumption of trans-fats and cholesterol to
less than 200mg/day. Because people with
diabetes are at high risk of developing
cardiovascular disease. Saturated fats
contribute to increased insulin resistance. - Give moderate protein of 10 to 15 % of resting
metabolic rate (RMR), give lean meat, fish,
and poultry to avoid muscle wasting. High
CHON intake is detrimental to kidney
function.
