Term
Most common acute complication of DM that young children encounter is
Definition
1 (DKA) diabetic ketoacidosis
2 Hypoglycemia
Term
Exercise in children c DM causes
Definition
Blood glucose to decrease; compensate c extra snacks before exercise & during (if prolonged)
Term
DM pathophysiology
Definition
Insulin is needed to support the metabolism of carbs, fats & proteins; by facilitating the entry of these sub's into the cell, c exception of nerve cells & vascular tissues. With a def. of insulin, gluc is unable to enter the cell & its concentration in bl stream increases (hyperglycemia); produces osmotic gradient; which moves the body fluids from intracelular to extracellular space; then excreted into kidneys; when serum gluc exceeds renal threshold gluc spills into urine (glycosuria); c osmotic diversion of water (polyuria)(S/S of DM); urinary fluid loss causes excessive thirst(polydipsia); which results in depletion of other essential chem; protein is wasted;because gluc can't enter the cells protien is broken down & converted to gluc by liver (glucogenisi) & contributes to hyperglycemia;w/o use of carbs for energy, fat & proteinstores are depleted for body to meet energy needs; thus hunger mech is triggered (polyphagia)which enhances prob further by elev bl gluc
Term
What does every cell need to survive?
Definition
-Water
-O2
-Glucose

phys inactive
high risk ethnic grp: Native, African, Hispanic, pacific, asian
gestational diabetic
hypertension
hyperlipidemic
previous testing; Hbg A1C >5.7%
Term
ketoacidosis
Definition
when insulin is absent or insulin sensitivity is altered, gluc is unavailable for cellular metabolism; body uses alternate souce of energy, fat; fat breaksdown into fatty acids & glycerol in the fat cells & converted ny liver to ketones; which are elim in urine (keytonuria); or the lungs (acetone breath); ketones in blood (ketonemia)are strong acids which lower pH producing Ketoacidosis
Term
Sign of metabolic acidosis
Definition
Kussmauls resp (^depth & rate); an attempt to eliminate excess carbon dioxide
