Study Notes
Complications of Diabetes Mellitus
- Diabetic nephropathy is a common complication of diabetes mellitus
- Microvascular disease is a leading cause of death for diabetics
Diabetic Nephropathy
- The first indicator of diabetic nephropathy is microalbuminuria
Hypertension and Diabetes
- 80% of diabetics are affected by hypertension
Exercise and Diabetes
- Water-based exercises are preferred for individuals who struggle with ambulation
- The warm-up phase in an exercise session lasts for 5-10 minutes
- 1 MET represents exercise intensity using the metabolic equivalent unit
- Individuals at risk should undergo a graded exercise test before participating in an exercise program
- Aquatic exercises are recommended for those who have problems with their lower extremities and neuropathic pain
Vision and Diabetes
- Diabetic retinopathy is a common complication of diabetes mellitus associated with decreased vision and is a leading cause of blindness among certain age groups
Aerobic Exercise and Diabetes
- Brisk walking is an example of aerobic exercise
- The recommended duration for aerobic activity in the exercise prescription for diabetics is at least 150 minutes/week
- The recommended intensity level for the heart rate (HR) during aerobic activity in the exercise prescription for diabetics is 50-70% of maximum HR
Blood Glucose Levels and Exercise
- Avoid exercise if glucose levels are below 100 mg/dl or above 250 mg/dl when using insulin to avoid hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia
Contraindications for Exercise
- Uncontrolled hypertension is a contraindication for exercise
Hypoglycemia and Exercise
- For patients experiencing hypoglycemia during or after exercise, administer 15-30 grams of carbohydrates
Insulin and Amylin
- Beta cells in the islets of Langerhans secrete insulin and amylin
Glycated Hemoglobin
- HbA1c refers to glycated hemoglobin
- The normal range for HbA1c levels is less than 7%
Types of Diabetes
- Insulin resistance characterizes Type 2 Diabetes
- The oral glucose tolerance test involves testing for 2 hours after consuming a glucose-rich drink
- A fasting blood glucose level greater than 126 mg/dl signals diabetes
- The pancreas produces little or no insulin in Type 1 Diabetes
- Glucagon is secreted by the alpha cells in the islets of Langerhans
- The major type of glandular secretion from the pancreas is exocrine
- The Random Plasma Glucose test is both cheap and fast
- The main function of glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) measurement for people with diabetes is to assess average blood glucose levels over the past 2-3 months
- The pathophysiology of Type 1 Diabetes involves an autoimmune response that destroys beta cells
- Risk factors for Type 2 Diabetes include obesity, physical inactivity, and family history
- The main treatment for Type 1 Diabetes is insulin therapy
- The safe pre-exercise blood glucose (BG) range for diabetic patients is 100-250 mg/dl
- Manifestations of Type 2 Diabetes include polyuria, polydipsia, and polyphagia
- Hypoglycemia is a blood glucose level below 70 mg/dl
- The primary function of the Glucometer for diabetic patients is to measure blood glucose levels
- Polyphagia in diabetes refers to excessive hunger
