-after 2 hrs
Diabetes signs and symptoms -3P's
polyuria (excessive and frequent urination)
polydipsia (excessive thirst)
polyphasia (excessive hunger)
-fatigue
-blurred vision
-infection prone
-abdominal pain
-headache
-ketosis/ acidosis
Type 2 prevention -lose 5- 7% of body weight
-30 minutes of exercise 5 days/ week
-reduce fat and calories
Diabetic goals of treatment -preprandial glucose 90- 130
-peak postprandial glucose less than 180
-blood pressure less than 130/80
-glycohemoglobin less then 7%
Diabetes interventions 1. medical nutritional therapy
2. exercise
3. medication
4. monitoring
5. education
Medical nutritional therapy (MNT)
-ADA exchange lists
-carb counting
-glycemic index
-remember cultural dietary needs
PRINCIPLES:
-low fat
-low sodium
-limit simple sugars
-use complex carbs
-consistent day to day
Exercise r/t diabetes -lowers glucose up to 24 hrs
-lowers blood lipids
-best done regularly
-refer to physician or exercise physiologist
-avoid exercise during acute hyperglycemia
-carry fast sugar
Medication r/t diabetes 1. insulin
-for type 1 or 2
2. oral hypoglycemics
-for type 2
Insulin -action
-routes
subcutaneous
IM
inhaled
-insulin pump
-site rotation
-timing
onset
peak
duration
Oral hypoglycemics -NOT insulin
-action depends on medication
-stimulates pancreas
-increases tissue sensitivity to insulin
-slows CHO digestion and absorption
Self monitoring glucose -test AC (before meals) and HS (hour of sleep)
-record results
-analyze meaning of results
-know target glucose levels
-call physician if out of range
Diabetes urine testing -glucose
-keytones
if blood sugar is greater than 300
Alterations in blood glucose 1. hyperglycemia
2. hypoglycemia
Hyperglycemia blood glucose greater than 126
CAUSES:
-overeating
-stress
-illness
-not enough medication
Hyperglycemia signs and symptoms -3Ps
-blurred vision
-fatigue
-lethargy
-headache
-abdominal pain
-ketonuria
-coma
Hyperglycemia treatment -check blood glucose
-use sliding scale insulin
-if glucose is greater than 300, check keytones
-determine cause eliminate
-call physician is glucose is greater than 180 for 2 days
-if ill or vomiting call physician
Hypoglycemia blood glucose below 70
CAUSES:
-too much insulin
-exercise
-not enough food
Hypoglycemia signs and symptoms -headache
-hunger
-fight or flight
shaky
cold sweat
palpitations
-neuroglycopenia
iriitability
confusion
sezures
coma
-autonomic neuropathy= no symptoms
Hypoglycemia treatment -check blood glucose
-administer 15-20 G fast acting CHO
-recheck in 15 minutes
-repeat PRN
-snack if greater than 1 hr before meal
Fast sugars -4oz orange juice
-6oz regular soda (NOT diet)
-mini box of raisins
-commercial glucose tablets
-6- 8 lifesavers
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA)
insulin deficiency
-cells starving
-fat breaks down
-byproduct of fat breakdown is keytones
-keytones are acidic
CAUSES:
-high blood glucose
*most common in type 1
-stress
-illness
Diabetic ketoacidosis signs and symptoms -flu-like symptoms
-hyperglycemic symptoms
-kussmaul respirations
-fruity breath
-electrolyte imbalance
-dehydration
-coma
-death
Diabetic ketoacidosis interventions -IV fluids
-IV insulin drip
-frequent glucose monitoring
-electrolyte monitoring
Diabetic ketoacidosis prevention -check keytones if blood sugar is greater than 300
drink fluids
check again
call physician if still present
-good diabetes control
Hyperosmolor hyperglycemia blood glucose elevated
-polyuria
-profound dehydration
-no nausea and vomiting= slower to get help
CAUSES:
-hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes
-stress
-illness
-most common in elderly
Hyperosmolor hyperglycemia signs and symptoms -extreme dehydration
-lethargy
-blood glucose may be 1000-1500
-electrolyte imbalance
-coma
-death
Hyperosmoloar hyperglycemia prevention -SMBG
-if glucose is rising drink fluids= lower glucose
Diabetes long term complications 1. macrovascular changes
-stroke
-MI
-peripheral vascular disease
2. microvascular changes
-retinopathy
-neuropathy
3. neuropathy
4. infection
5. foot problems
Diabetic foot care -inspect feet daily
-wash and dry feet daily
-wear well fitting shoes
-protect feet from injury
-avoid crossing legs
-use caution with nail care
-see physician immediately if sore develops
Diabetes care during surgery -frequent glucose monitoring
-sliding scale insulin or insulin drip
-maintain glucose 140- 180 in critically ill
Reactive hypoglycemia hyper-responsiveness of pancreas
-low glucagon levels
-low blood glucose
-sympathetic fight or flight response
Reactive hypoglycemia interventions -frequent small meals
-high protein diet
-low CHO diet
