Study Notes
1500 Exam 5 - Metabolism
- Diabetes Mellitus: A group of metabolic diseases. Insulin secretion or action defects cause hyperglycemia. Causes blindness, kidney failure, heart attack, stroke, and cognitive decline. Leading cause of limb amputation in the US. Characterized by the 3 Ps: Polyphagia (excessive hunger), Polydipsia (excessive thirst), and Polyuria (excessive urination). Blood sugar controlled by the pancreas. Glucagon stored in the islets of Langerhans and released when glucose is used up. Hyperglycemia results when glucose cannot enter body cells.
Type 1 Diabetes (IDDM)
- Cause: Destruction of beta cells in the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas. The pancreas cannot produce insulin. Insulin must be injected. Onset often in childhood, but can occur in adults. Only about 5% of people with diabetes have type 1. Can be caused by autoimmune response after viruses or certain drugs.
Type 2 Diabetes (NIDDM)
- Cause: Insulin resistance in tissues. 95% of people with diabetes have type 2. Oral medications can boost insulin production or decrease tissue resistance. Eventually, the pancreas wears out, leading to insulin injections.
Gestational Diabetes (GDM)
- Cause: Occurs in about 1 in 10 pregnancies, especially in women at risk for type 2 diabetes. Extra metabolic demands of pregnancy trigger the condition, beginning about halfway through pregnancy (20-24 weeks). Usually resolves after delivery. Complications include macrosomic (large) babies.
Metabolic Syndrome
-
Characteristics (table on page 2) Rapid onset, usually lean, young, thin. Ketoacidosis, uncontrolled production of ketone bodies causing metabolic acidosis, immediate hospitalization. Autoimmune disorder. FBS over 126 mg/dL; Kussmaul's respirations (rapid respirations). Peak diagnosis about 10 to 15 years old. Untreated can lead to complications.
-
Causes (table on page 2) Destruction of beta cells in the islets of Langerhans of pancreas that can be triggered by autoimmune reactions.
-
Management (table on page 2) Diet, exercise, insulin. Teach to monitor blood glucose levels regularly. Adjust insulin doses based on carbohydrate intake. Educate on risks of DKA and early signs. Educate on insulin types, injection techniques, and timing/site rotation to avoid lipodystrophy. Teach dietary management of the impact of carbs on blood glucose and portion control.
Complications of Diabetes
- Table on page 3, 4, 5, 6 and various other tables detail specific symptoms, causes, blood measurements, and management of different types and complications.
