Study Notes
Diabetes Management
- Oral Hypoglycemic Agents (OHAs) stimulate insulin production and increase insulin binding to cell receptors
- Sulfonylureas (e.g., tolbutamide, glipizide, glyburide) stimulate insulin secretion and increase insulin binding to cell receptors
- Biguanides (e.g., metformin) prevent hepatic glucose production and increase glucose transport into cells
Insulin Administration
- Insulin pumps: external devices that deliver insulin continuously via a catheter
- Insulin injection sites: rotate sites to prevent lipodystrophy and insulin resistance
- Insulin dosage: adjust based on blood glucose levels and carbohydrate intake
Hypoglycemia (Low Blood Sugar)
- Symptoms: trembling, anxiety, tachycardia, sweating, hunger, and dizziness
- Causes: insulin overdose, skipped meals, excessive exercise, and certain medications
- Treatment: administer fast-acting carbohydrates (e.g., glucose tablets, juice, or hard candies)
Hyperglycemia (High Blood Sugar)
- Symptoms: polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia, and blurred vision
- Causes: insulin deficiency, infection, and certain medications
- Complications: diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperglycemic hyperosmolar non-ketotic syndrome, and hypoglycemia
Diabetic Foot Care
- Prevent foot ulcers: inspect feet daily, wear well-fitting shoes, and manage calluses and corns
- Manage foot infections: use antibiotics, debride wounds, and practice good wound care
Renal Failure
- Causes: diabetic nephropathy, hypertension, and kidney disease
- Symptoms: uremia, edema, and fatigue
- Treatment: dialysis, kidney transplantation, and management of underlying conditions
Peritoneal Dialysis
- Uses a catheter to filter waste from the blood
- Requires frequent exchanges of dialysate solution
- Complications: peritonitis, infection, and catheter malfunction
