Insulin
Regulates carbohydrate metabolism
Metabolism of fats and protein
- Lowers blood glucose levels by stimulating peripheral glucose uptake especially in the skeletal
- muscles
-
Types of Diabetes
Type I--Absolute Insulin Deficiency
Type II--Relative Insulin Deficiency
Gestational
Prediabetes
- Diabetes Mellitus and Diabetes Insipidus (insufficient amount of Antidiuretic Hormone) are two different, distinct endocrine disorders!
- Commonality: both disorders produce large volume of urine.
-
Type 1
Often manifests in childhood or puberty
Abrupt failure of the pancreas
Pathogenesis is unclear
5-10% of all diabetics
- Leading theory is born with predisposition and exposed to virus which pulls it out.
- Type 1-used to be referred to as IDDM (insulin dependent DM).
-
Type 2 Diabete
Correlated with obesity
- Usually seen in adults over the age of 30 but also
- identified in young
Insulin resistance
Type 2 was referred to as NIDDM(non insulin dependednt DM).
-
Insulin Resistance
-insulin is still produced but cells arent as sensitive to it. Meds increase cell sensitivity
-
Acute Complications (Diabetes Mellitus)
Hypoglycemia
Hyperglycemia
Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA)/Hyperosmolar Glycemic State (HHS)
-
Hypoglycemia-sugar below
50. brain damage can ensue if if it is below 40
-
Hyperglycemia-sugar above
140
-
DKA-see it in
Type 1 diabetes
-
HHS see it in
- Type 2
- whats happening is the osmolality of the blood is
- completely off bc sugar is so highly concentrated in blood. Lot of urine.
-
Most severe manifestation of insulin deficiency
–Hyperglycemia
–Dehydration
–Vomiting
–Electrolyte imbalance: Na+ and K+
–Hemoconcentration
–Ketoacidosis
–Shock
-
Ketoacidosis
body starts to break apart fat and muscle to get glucose bc body doesn’t see all of the glucose that you have in your blood.
- This is why a manifestation of type
- 1 is weight loss. Your body thinks its starving itself of glucose when it really has an abundance.
- Fat will yield fatty acids and protein/muscle yeilds ketones=ketoacidosis. Throws the body
- into an acidic state. These people hyperventilate to blow off the acid. All of these things contribute to shock
-
Macrovascular damage (diabetes Mellitus)
–Arteriosclerosis
–Myocardial Infarctions
–Cerebral Vascular Accidents
–Hypertension
-
Microvascular damage (Diabetes Mellitus)
–Erectile dysfunction
–Blindness secondary to retinopathy
–Amputation secondary to Infections such as gangrene
–Renal damage
–Neuropathy
-

Therapeutic Uses of Insulin
Glycemic control of diabetes mellitus type I to prevent complications
-
Physiologic action (Insulin)
Necessary for carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism
Increases glucose transport across muscle and fat-cell membranes to reduce serum glucose levels.
Promotes the conversion of glucose to its storage form: glycogen
Triggers amino acid uptake and conversion of protein in muscle calls and inhibits protein degradation
Stimulates triglyceride formation and inhibits release of free fatty acids from adipose tissue
Converts lipoproteins to fatty acids
-
Insulin Side Effects
Metabolic: hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, or Somogyi, or dawn phenomenon
Local: lipoatropy, itching, swelling and redness
-
Insulin Interactions
Decrease hyperglycemic effect
Increase hypoglycemic effect
Beta adrenergic blocking agents
-
Insulin Labs and Monitoring
Blood sugar, HgA1c, Cholesterol
-
Dawn phenomonen
- they take insulin and in morning sugars may be high. Rebound hypoglycemia.
- Body sees sugars go low so they start to use glycogen storage in the liver.
-
Brittle diabetic
tried to get control of sugars but are unable to do this
-
Insulin is prepared in units
per milliliter in concentrations of 100 or 500U/mL
-
Insulin Must be given
parenterally because it is destroyed in the GI tract
-
When giving Insulin Sub-Q it
provides slow steady absorption. Absorption is dependent on the site.
-
Which Insulins are given in IV administration
regular, aspart, lispro and glulisine can be given IV.
NPH, Detemir and glargine insulin cannot be given IV
-
What are the fastest sites of absorption when giving Insulint
- Stomach is most rapid absorption,
- followed by arm or thigh.
- Most people stick with one site and then rotate places in the site.
- You can give rapid and regular acting IV.
- You cannot give slow acting IV.
