QUESTIONS AND ACCURATE DETAILED ANSWERS
\VERIFIED ANSWERS \ALREADY GRADED A+
Rapid IV
DKA Treatments fluids IV
Insulin/D
rip
Correct Electrolyte imbalance
K+ is elevated due to the
K+ and DKA
dehydration and acidosis We
must treat the imbalance
quickly
Fastin
g BS
A1C
Diagnostic testing for diabetes
testing
GAD Antibody
testing lipid
panel
Renal function
testing C-
reactive
protein
An antibody test used for Type 1 diabetic patients. Either
GAD test
the patient will test positive or negative.
Good cholesterol.
HDL Cholesterol
levels need to be higher than 40
Bad cholesterol.
LDL cholesterol
levels need to be lower than 70
Taking a lipid panel test first before an A1C helps us
How is cholesterol related to
BS? determine how that patient regulates glucose.

Triglyceride levels Needs to be lower than 150
H
What are the components of
DL
the lipid panel?
LD
L
Triglycerides
BS over 140 can start to Put stress on the beta-cells

BS over 170 can start to cause Damage of the small blood vessels in the body which causes
_____________________ vascular problems
-INSULIN DEPENDENT
-Born w/o beta cells in the pancreas
-Rapid onset of diagnosis
-Usually happens early in life (genetic)
Type 1 Diabetes
-Need lifelong insulin treatments (pump etc.)
-DKA's very common
-Must eat regularly 5-6 times/day
-Cannot take oral glycemic meds
-Pancreas is worn out by too much carb/sugar intake
that it becomes INSULIN RESISTANT
Type 2 Diabetes -Happens later in life
-Slow onset of diagnosis
-Increased obesity, sedentary lifestyle, poor nutrition
-Stroke
-Heart attack
-Peripheral artery disease
-Diabetic retinopathy
Chronic Complications of -Cataracts
Diabetes -Glaucoma
-Neuropathy
-Skin conditions
-Poor wound healing
drugs used to lower cholesterol in the bloodstream
Statins
-reduce the risk of MI and stroke
Oral hypoglycemic agents These medications promote insulin release from the ilet cells in
the pancreas.
-Metformin
Examples of oral
hypoglycemics -Glypiside
Do not give oral Type 1 diabetics
