Definition
-insulin resistance
-relative insulin deficiency
-acanthosis niagricans
-Absence of Ab’s to B-cell antigens
-Due to: obesity, cystic fibrosis, genetic defects in receptors
Term

Definition
-MOST COMMON pediatric endocrine disorder
-1/300-500 <18
-higher in whites, lower in mexis and blacks
-genetic correlation
Term
Diabetis =
Definition
-Fasting serum glucose >126
-2 hr postprandial glucose >200 on two separate occasions
Term

Definition
-Hyperglycemia
-Ketogenesis
-glycosuria
Term
"classic presentation" of Type 1 Diabetes
Definition
-Polyuria
-Polydipsia
-Polyphagia
-Weight loss
Term
Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA)
Definition
-ABG pH <7.25
-Bicarb <15 mEq/L
-Increased ketones in serum and/or urine
Term
type 1 pathophysiology of DKA
Definition
-Absence of insulin>liver oxidizes fatty acids>forms ketone bodies>forms organic acids>metabolic acidosis (increase in anion gap)
Term
Clinical signs of DKA
Definition
-polyuria/polydipsia
-N/V
-abd pain
-Kussmaul respirations
-Fruity breath
-altered mental status
Term

Definition
-elevated serum glucose (200-1000)
-ABG pH <7.25
-Bicarb <15
-sodium-elevated, normal, decreased
-elevated BUN
-elevated WBC with left shift
Term
serum glucose and sodium interrelationship
Definition
For every 100 mg/dL serum glucose is elevated over normal, serum sodium is depressed 1.6 mEq/l
Term
DKA treatment
Definition
-careful replacement of fluid deficit
-correction of acidosis
-correction of elevated glucose with insulin
-monitor complications of treatment closely (cerebral edema)
Term

Insulin Regimen
if have 2 daily injections
Definition
2/3 total daily dose in AM
1/3 in PM

Definition
-in pts with new onset DM, the beta cell mass has not been completely destroyed
-remaining cells recover with insulin treatment and produce insulin for a few months (can sometimes last up to 2 years)
Term

Definition
-3 meals & 3 snacks
-45 gm CHO per meal and 15 gm CHO per snack
Term
TYpe 2 diabetes
Definition
Peripheral insulin resistance with failure of pancreas to maintain compensatory hyperinsulinemia to maintain normal glucose levels
Term
hypoglycemia
Definition
-serum glucose <45 abnormal and requires immediate treatment
-serum glucose <55 can occur in normal individuals but should be suspect for hypoglycemia
