philosophy
Acculturation -ANSWER✅✅✅the process of cultural and psychological change that
results following meeting between cultures
Enculturation -ANSWER✅✅✅the process by which a person learns the requirements
of the culture by which he or she is surrounded
Avoid resistive exercise -ANSWER✅✅✅ESRD, nephropathy, Charcot's foot,
proliferative retinopathy
Glipizide -ANSWER✅✅✅should be taken on an empty stomach
Drugs that raise blood glucose -ANSWER✅✅✅Clonidine, Corticosteroids,
Cyclosporine, Diuretic, Estrogen, Gemfibrozil, Oral Contraceptives, Phenytoin (Dilantin),
Thyroid Hormone (Synthroid)
Sulfonylurea + Aspirin -ANSWER✅✅✅lowers blood glucose
Metformin + Clonidine -ANSWER✅✅✅raises blood glucose
The accuracy goal of home meters is a total error of -ANSWER✅✅✅up to 15%
A blood glucose meter that measures plasma blood glucose in the laboratory would be -
ANSWER✅✅✅higher than a whole blood glucose reading
Diabetes Control and Complication Trial (DCCT) - Type 1 -ANSWER✅✅✅Intensive
blood glucose reduces risk of eye disease by 76%, risk of kidney disease by 50%, nerve
disease by 60%
United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS) - Type 2 -ANSWER✅✅✅Every
percentage point decrease in HgA1c, there was a 35% reduction in the risk of
microvascular complications.
, Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) -ANSWER✅✅✅Lifestyle changes was more
effective than drug therapy - weight loss of 5-7% of their body weight and exercise
reduced the development of Type 2 by 58%
Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (EDIC) - Type 1 -
ANSWER✅✅✅Follow-up study of DCCT - cardiovascular disease event was reduced
by 42% and nonfatal heart attack, stroke, or death from cardiovascular causes was
reduced by 57% with intensive blood glucose control
Ketonuria in the presence of euglycemia indicates -ANSWER✅✅✅weight loss
When switching a patient from Regular short-acting insulin to Rapid insulin for the pre-
meal bolus, we usually fend we need to -ANSWER✅✅✅increase the basal dose
When glucagon is impaired in Type 1, epinephrine will raise BG by performing 2
processes -ANSWER✅✅✅1) glycogenolysis, 2) inhibit glucose utilization by insulin
action
When epinephrine becomes the primary counter-regulatory hormone to raise blood
glucose in Type 2 who is producing insulin, epinephrine will -ANSWER✅✅✅1) inhibit
glucose utilization, 2) inhibit endogenous insulin release
Sulfa drugs + Sulfonylureas -ANSWER✅✅✅Sulfa drugs tend to increase the effects of
Sulfonylureas and result in hypoglycemia.
Children of persons with Type 1 Diabetes have -ANSWER✅✅✅2% chance of
developing diabetes if mother has diabetes, 6% chance of developing diabetes if father
has diabetes
Children of persons with Type 2 Diabetes have -ANSWER✅✅✅30% chance of
developing Impaired Glucose Tolerance and 15% chance of developing Type 2
Diabetes
If 1 twin develops Type 1 Diabetes, there is a -ANSWER✅✅✅50% chance that the
other twin will not develop diabetes
If 1 twin develops Type 2 diabetes, there is a -ANSWER✅✅✅90% chance the other
twin will develop type 2 diabetes
Insulin resistance in a Type 2 diabetes person is indicated by response of -
ANSWER✅✅✅hepatic tissue and peripheral tissue
