Rapid Acting insulin side effects
- major are hypoglycemia - signs and symptoms come on more RAPIDLY !!!!
Short Acting Insulin Nursing implications
-only insulin that can be given via IV - give 20 -30 mins prior to meal **** can be use for sliding scale insulin*** - HIGH ALERT MED!!!! = 2 licensed RN to verify dosing prior to administrating
Rapid Acting insulin also called what? to provide what ?
....bolus insulin, ....coverage for meals
Insulin secretion: 1) insulin mRNA is transcribed & protein is synthesized where? 2) proteolytic processing occurs where?
1) Beta-cells of the pancreas 2) in the ER of beta-cells
What are the metabolic changes in Type 1 Diabetes?
1) Body interprets a fasting state: triggers gluconeogenesis. 2) Ketosis results from the massive mobilization of fatty acids from the adipose following hepatic ketogenesis. 3) Hypertriacylglycerolemia: excess FAs converted to TAGs & packaged into VLDLs, elevated chylomicrons & VLDL due to increase in lipoprotein lipase activity.
What are the metabolic changes in Type 2 Diabetes?
1) Gluconeogenesis to produce more glucose. 2) There is a diminished effect of insulin on target tissues as a result of insulin resistance. 3) Hypertriacylglycerolemia: elevated chylomicron & VLDL due to decrease in lipoprotein lipase activity.
Long acting insulin side effects
1) major side effect is hypoglycemia 2) sign and symptoms of hypoglycemia happen SLOWLY!!!!!
Long acting insulin nursing implications
1)Pt. should have bedtime snack to prevent hypoglycemia 2) DO NOT MIX THIS INSULIN!!!! 3) may be given at bed time 4)high ALERT med!!!!= 2 licensed nurses must verify dose prior to administration

Type 2 diabetes is most common among these populations:
American Indian Alaska native Latino
What is Type 1 Diabetes?
Aka. juvenile or insulin-dependent diabetes (IDDM). 10% of diagnosed cases. Onset sudden during childhood or puberty. No insulin production due to loss of pancreatic beta-cells (auto-immune destruction). Treated by insulin replacement therapy. Patients are normally thin.
What is Type 2 Diabetes?
Aka. non-insulin dependent diabetes (NIDDM). 90-95% of diagnosed diabetes cases. Progressive disease w gradual development. Insulin resistance combined w inadequate insulin secretion. Risk factors include age, physical activity, obesity, genetics. Treatment: physical activity, weight loss, diet control (limited carbs), oral medications to control BGL.
Intermediate insulins may also be used as what, to control what?
Basal insulin, to control fasting blood sugar
Diabetes is a group of chronic disorders
resulting in hyperglycemia
Short Acting Insulin onset, peak, duration

Prevalence, incidence, and economic impact of DM
DM is widespread, and is the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States. Ninety percent of patients with diabetes have type 2 DM. 10% have type 1 DM.
Epinephrine mobilizes fat & glycogen stores. When is it released?
During physical exertion, stress, cold exposure & hypoglycemia.
In the fasting or starvation state, low blood glucose levels in circulation triggers the release of ___?
Glucagon.
In the fed state, what signal triggers insulin production?
High glucose levels in circulation.
if pt is unconscious, give glucagon what route?
IM
What is prediabetes?
Individuals at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes have impaired fasting glucose (IGF) and / or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). Development of disease can be prevented by lifestyle changes (weight-loss, exercise, appropriate nutrition, control of hypertension and dyslipidemia).
What are the inhibitory effects of insulin?
Insulin inhibits: - Gluconeogenesis - degradation of stores: glycogenolysis, lipolysis
What are the promoting metabolic effects of insulin?
Insulin promotes: - glucose uptake - biosynthesis --> proteins - storage: glycogen (glycogenesis), fat / TAGs (lipgenesis) - fatty acid synthesis

Type 1- pancreatic islet cell dysfunction and deficit of circulating insulin
Occurs in childhood/ adolescence Genetic predisposition- for type I diabetes Hyperglycemia and breakdown of body fats and proteins and the development of ketosis Polyuria (increased urine output), polyphagia (increased hunger), glucosuria, polydipsia (increased thirst)

Nursing care and educational plans for the diabetic patient need to be individualized based on
Type of diabetes Length since diagnosis Prior knowledge The patient's individual health and socioeconomic circumstances
Diabetes Mellitus Complications such as
acute myocardial infarction, stroke, renal failure, blindness, and traumatic amputations are common among diabetics with poor glycemic control.
WHAT? it does insulin
allow glucose to get into cells, to be used for energy
WHERE? is it glucagon

2.5 million Hispanic/Latino Americans have diabetes and
are 1.7 times as likely to have diabetes as non-Hispanic whites of similar age
when is insulin given
before meals
WHERE? is it insulin
beta cells of pancreas
MOA: insulin
binds to receptor site allowing glucose to enter cell, aid in metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins; stores glucose in liver and convert glycogen to fat
WHEN? is it given glucagon
blood sugar low
glycogenolysis
breakdown of liver glycogen
what is glycogenolysis?
breakdown stored glucose = increase blood sugar
term: blood glucose level high and low, vary within minutes
brittle diabetics

hot & dry =
sugar high
Insulin causes glucose
to move out of the cells
There has been a sharp increase in type 2 diabetes related
to rates of obesity in the United States.
type I or type II: related to obesity
type II
Nursing Care for Diabetes Mellitus
Clients face lifelong changes in lifestyle and health status Major role of the nurse is that of educator in both hospital and community settings Plan of care and content differ according to the type of diabetes Nursing care focuses on teaching to manage the illness
cold & clammy =
need some candy
