DIABETES MELLITUS • DEFINE • CHRONIC SYSTEMIC DISEASE CHARACTERIZED BY EITHER • A DEFICIENCY OF INSULIN • OR A DECREASED ABILITY OF THE BODY TO USE INSULIN (insulin resistant)
PANCREAS • CELL TYPES AND FUNCTION • BETA - INSULIN • HYPOGLYCEMIC FACTOR • ALPHA - GLUCAGON • HYPERGLYCEMIC FACTOR • DELTA - SOMASTATIN • INHIBITS SECRETION OF BOTH INSULIN AND GLUCAGON
ROLE OF INSULIN • SKELETAL MUSCLE • INCREASE UPTAKE OF GLUCOSE, CONVERT TO GLYCOGEN • Liver • Increase uptake of glucose from blood and convert to glycogen • Inhibits production of glycogenolysis • Inhibits gluconeogenesis
CARBOHYDRATES • BREAKS DOWN TO GLUCOSE, INSULIN TRANSPORTS ACROSS CELL MEMBRANE • ENZYMES BREAKS DOWN FOR ENERGY OR STORED AS GLYCOGEN • PROTEIN • INSULIN ENHANCES AMINO ACIDS TO PROTEIN • FATS • FREE FATTY ACIDS TO ADIPOSE
Critical thinking • The process of breaking down material without insulin during metabolism is know as: • A. Ketogenesis • B. Lipolysis • C. Glycogenesis • D. Catabolism
REGULATION • INSULIN • BLOOD SUGAR = INSULIN SECRETED FOR TRANSPORT INTO CELLS • GLUCAGON • BLOOD SUGAR = GLUCAGON SECRETED • STIMULATES LIVER TO BREAKDOWN GLYCOGEN TO GLUCOSE & RELEASE ( GLYCOGENESIS) • METABOLISE AMINO ACIDS TO GLUCOSE • LIPOLYSIS TO GLYCEROL ( GLUCONEOGENESIS)
PITUITARY • GROWTH HORMONE • ACTH • CORTISOL • GLUCONEOGENESIS • LIPOLYSIS • USE OF GLUCOSE BY CELLS • = BLOOD SUGAR
RISK FACTORS • FAMILY HISTORY • HISTORY OF GLUCOSE INTOLERANCE • OBESITY • HIGH FAT DIET • SEDENTARY LIFE STYLE • ELDERLY • ETHNECITY
TYPES • TYPE 1 • IDDM ( 5-10%) • TYPE 2 • NIDDM ( 90%) • GLUCOSE INTOLERANCE • FBS 110 BUT 126 • SECONDARY DIABETES • 2ND TO DISEASE OR DISORDER • GESTATIONAL DIABETES • DURING PREGNANCY
TYPE 1 (IDDM) • DEFINE • BETA CELL DESTRUCTION • ( AUTOIMMUNE, VIRAL, GENETIC) • INSULIN INSUFFICIENT TO SUSTAIN LIFE • REQUIRES EXOGENOUS INSULIN • REVERTS TO LIPOLYSIS & GLUCONEOGENESIS • ETIOLOGY • 30 YEARS, THIN, ABRUPT ONSET • S&S • POLYURIA, POLYDIPSIA, POLY PHASIA
TYPE 2 (NIDDM) • DEFINE • DEFECIENT INSULIN TO MEET BODY DEMANDS • INSULIN RESISTENCE • DOES NOT REVERT TO LIPOLYSIS OR GLUCONEOGENESIS • ETIOLOGY • 30 YEARS, OBESE, GRADUAL ONSET • S&S • VAGUE, FATIGUE, IRRITABILITY, GRADUAL POLYURIA, POLYDIPSIA, POLYPHASIA
Critical Thinking • Which of the following is true regarding Diabetes? • Diabetes is an acute disorder that responds only to insulin • Diabetes is curable • Diabetes is characterized by an abnormality of carbohydrate metabolism • Diabetes is not a significant cause of death.
CONSEQUENCE OF INSULIN DEFECIENCY • LIVER • CANNOT STORE GLUCOSE AS GLYCOGEN • FREE FATTY ACIDS BREAK DOWN = KETONE BODIES • HYPERTRIGLYCERIDEMIA • SKELETAL MUSCLE • NO GLUCOSE FOR ENERGY, METABOLISE PROTEINS • ADIPOSE TISSUE • LIPOLYSIS = FREE FATTY ACIDS
KIDNEY • KIDNEY CAN EXCRET 180 MG/DL • (GLUSOSURIA) • = OSMOTIC DIURESIS= (POLYURIA) • = FLUID VOLUME & ELECTROLYTE DEPLEATION • = HYPOVOLEMIA = THIRST (POLYDISPIA) • GLUCOSE TO CELLS = STARVATION (POLYPHAGIA)
Critical thinking • A diagnosis of diabetes suggests that a client’s symptom of polyuria is most likely caused by : • A. Increased insulin levels promote a diuretic effect • B. Glucose acting as a hypertonic agent, draws water from the intracellular fluid into the renal tubules • C. Electrolyte changes lead to the retention of sodium and potassium • D. Microvascular changes alter the effectiveness of the kidney
DIAGNOSTIC STUDIES • FASTING BLOOD SUGAR 126 • RANDOM BLOOD SUGAR 200 • POST PRANDIAL BLOOD SUGAR 200 • GLYCOSYLATED HgB. (HgA1c) 7% • (life of RBC – 120 days) • GLYCOSYLATED ALBUMIN 1.5–2.7nmol/L
MANAGEMENT OUTCOMES • PROMOTE PROPER NUTRITION • PROMOTE EXERCISE • ADMINISTER MEDICATION
ORAL ANTIDIABETIC MEDICATIONS SULFONYLURES INCREASE RELEASE OF INSULIN ORINASE, TOLINASE GLUTROL, DIABETA WEIGHT GAIN, HYPOGLYCEMIA • MEGLITINIDES • INCREASE RELEASE OF INSULIN • PRANDIN, STARLIX • WEIGHT GAIN, HYPOGLYCEMIA
ORAL ANTIDIABETIC MEDICATIONS • BIGUANIDES • REDUCE GLUCOSE BY LIVER, INCREASED INSULIN SENSATIVITY. • GLUCOPHAGE • DIRRHEA, LACTIC ACIDOSIS • A-GLUCOSIDASE INHIBITORS • DECREASE ABSORPTION OF CARBOHYDRATES • ACARBOSE, • DIRRHEA, ABD PAIN • THIAZOLIDINEDIONES • INCREASE GLUCOSE UPTAKE • ACTOSE, AVANDIA • WEIGHT GAIN, EDEMA
ALTERED HEALTH MAINTENANCE • R/T LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OF DIETARY MANAGEMENT DIABETES • OUTCOME • CLIENT WILL STATE RELATIONSHIP OF DIETARY MANAGEMENT TO BLOOD GLUCOSE CONTROL • CLIENT WILL CHOOSE FOODS THAT MEET CALORC NEEDS AND OFFER A WELL BALANCED DIET
