Diabetic Keto acidosis (DKA) - Higher than 300 glucose
,Ketones in urine
Kussmal breathing
Acetone (fruity) breath
Tachycardia
N/V
Severe abdominal pain
DKA Treatments - Rapid IV fluids
IV Insulin/Drip
Correct Electrolyte imbalance
K+ and DKA - K+ is elevated due to the dehydration and acidosis
We must treat the imbalance quickly
Diagnostic testing for diabetes - Fasting BS
A1C testing
GAD Antibody testing
lipid panel
Renal function testing
C-reactive protein
GAD test - An antibody test used for Type 1 diabetic patients. Either the patient will test
positive or negative.
HDL Cholesterol - Good cholesterol.
levels need to be higher than 40
, LDL cholesterol - Bad cholesterol.
levels need to be lower than 70
How is cholesterol related to BS? - Taking a lipid panel test first before an A1C helps us
determine how that patient regulates glucose.
Triglyceride levels - Needs to be lower than 150
What are the components of the lipid panel? - HDL
LDL
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
Type 1 Diabetes - -INSULIN DEPENDENT
-Born w/o beta cells in the pancreas
-Rapid onset of diagnosis
-Usually happens early in life (genetic)
-Need lifelong insulin treatments (pump etc.)
-DKA's very common
-Must eat regularly 5-6 times/day
-Cannot take oral glycemic meds
