Diabetes Definition - ANSWER -chronic disease with complication
-impaired metabolism
-glucose intolerance
-imbalance of insulin supply and demand
-Vascular and neurological complications
Insulin - ANSWER -hormone
-produced by beta cells in the pancreas
-Exogenous-shots
-Endogenous-body produced insulin
-decreases blood glucose level
Glucagon - ANSWER -a hormone secreted by the pancreas that
stimulates the liver to release glucose into the blood when blood glucose
concentration dips
Diabetes Management - ANSWER -diet
-exercise
-insulin
-oral hypoglycemic agents
-healthy lifestyle changes
Type 1 Diabetes - ANSWER -insulin dependent
-no endogenous insulin
-common in the young, but can happen at any age
-abrupt onset
-autoimmune process
-->possible virus trigger
-->destruction of beta cells
-->insulin antibodies
-->islet cell antibodies
-peaks about 10 to 15 years of age
, Type 2 Diabetes - ANSWER -non insulin dependent
-inadequate endogenous insulin
-unable to use own insulin
-->beta cells respond inadequately to increased BS
-->progresses
-->receptors sites become resistant to insulin
-->glucose doesn't move into cells
Type 1 Diabetes: S/S - ANSWER -polyuria: excessive urine output
-polydipsia: excessive thirst
-polyphagia: excessive food ingestion
-weight loss
-fatigue
-malaise
-rapid onset
-family tendency
-peak at age 10 to 15
-blurred vision
-paresthesias
Type 2 Diabetes: S/S - ANSWER -polyuria: excessive urine output
-polydipsia: excessive thirst
-recurrent infection
-obesity
-fatigue
-blurred vision
-paresthesias
-sendantary lifestyle
-family tendency
-over 50
-Hx of high BP
-FBS>126
Gestational - ANSWER -Larger babies >9lbs
-50% chance developing DM w/in 10 years
-pregnancy exposes diabetes
-impaired metabolism
