Renal/Diabetic NCLEX Review: Covers Patho, Pharm, M/S, and Complex CareDiabetesDiagnostic Criteria: Pre-diabetes: A1c 5.7-6.5 Fasting: 100-125 mg/dL 2 hr: 140-199 mg/dL (oral glucose tolerance test)Diabetes A1c >6.5Fasting: >1262 hr: >200 (oral glucose tolerance testRandom: >200 with s/s of hyperglycemia Meds: Insulin types (trade name): Lispro (Humalog) (short acting): administer 5-10 min of mealRemember to use in combination with another as to provide coverage throughout day Onset: 15 min, Peaks 1-2 hrs, Duration 3-4 hrs. Also aspart (NovoLog) and glulisine (Apidra)Regular Insulin (Humulin R, Novolin R) : give before meal Onset: 30 min, peaks 2-4 hr, duration: 6-8 hrsTHE ONLY INSULIN GIVEN IV NPH (Humulin N): Onset: 30 min, peaks 6-14 hr, duration 16ish hours; 30-60 min of mealP protamine delays excretion Can be mixed with reg insulin (draw reg or lispro first, THEN NPH) If given with Lispro in morning, concern is with late afternoon (1500, 1600) 70/30; 70% NPH, 30% Regular insulin Onset: 30-60 min. Peaks 1.5-16 (HumuLin), 2-13 (Novolin), duration: up to 24 hrsInsulin glargine (lantus) Onset: 70 min, no peak, duration 24 hrsUsed for relatively constant BG level Once daily @ same time each dayCANNOT MIXInsulin detemir (Levemir) Similar to above Sub Q; Draw up CLEAR first and THEN cloudy. Rotate sites. Oral medications (FOR TYPE II ONLY) Generalities: use with cimetidine BAD (hypoglycemia), betablockers BAD (mask s/s of hypoglycemia) Metformin, acarbose, januvia only ones that WON’T CAUSE hypoglycemia Preferential to insulin, start with these and then add injectables Metformin: Inhibits glucose production and enhances periph uptakeBig concerns: B12 deficiency, lactic acidosis (CONTRAST DYE!), renal adjustments needed Contraindicated with Cimetidine DOES NOT CAUSE HYPOGLYCEMIA Glyburide (Diabeta): promotes insulin release and sensitivity Requires pancreatic functionCAN CAUSE HYPOGLYCEMIAGlitazone (Actos): decreases insulin resistance Monitor LIVER FUNCTION tests Can cause water retention: averse CV effects Glinides (example Prandin): Incr insulin release from pancreasAcarbose (Precose): inhibits alpha glucosidase, resulting in lower BGSE: gastric discomfort Sitagliptin (Januvia): increases increti activity (Increased insulin production) Can have effects on A1cByetta: injectable incretin memeticStimulates insulin production to promote satiety Give before meals, finger sticks Can cause hypoglycemia if used with sulfonylrea MUST BE MIXED IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO ADMIN Meds that can contribute to secondary diabetes: Reverse transcriptase inhibitors (HAART) ChemotherapyGlucocorticoids Immunomodulators Chronic Diabetes Mgmt Smogoyi effect: undetected hypoglycemia in middle of night (3 am) leads to rebounding hyperglycemia in morningDawn effect: untreated hyperglycemia at HS leads to elevated BS in AM Mgmt goals: 80-120 pre-prandial<180 2 hrs post prandial (ideally only 30-50 pts higher) Mgmt goals for pre-existing DM and pregnancy: Preprandial, overnight: 60-99Peak postprandial: 100-129 A1c <6 Gestational diabetes mgmt. goals Fasting <951 hr post prandial <140 2 hrs post prandial <120 Inpatient less stringent: (RISK OF HYPOGLYCEMIA > HYPERGLYCEMIA) Premeal target 140, random <180 Education: Carb counting: 15 g carbs is a serving Food diary Hypoglycemia: s/sx HTN, diaphoresis, palpitations, apprehension/anxiety, tremor Chronic complications MacrovascularCardiacMicrovascularEye diseaseNephropathyFunctional damage (GFR >90)Glomerular damage (GFR 60-89) Overt (30-59), proteinuria Severe (15-29) increased BUN and CR, HTNEnd stage: GFR <10 mL/min; DIALYSIS requiredNeuropathy Managing hypoglycemia: 1 cup juice/soda, recheck 15 min. chase 1 ampule D50 IVGlucagon SQ Managing acute complications: DKA and HHNS DKA: typically type 1, THINK ACIDOSIS HHNS: higher BG levels (little bit of insulin keeps cells chugging along) , less complications of pHMgmt: HYDRATEWhy first? If we move all the insulin intracellular, osmotic gradient could cause dehydration, CV collapse Looking for UO 30-60 cc/hrSpecial considerations: renal disease/CV disease (FLUID OVERLOAD) Once glucose is dilutionaly brought down to 200-250 mg/dL switch from NS or LR to D51/2NS INSULINFrequent BS checks (q hr on drip, q 2 not on drip) Initial bolus of reg insulin at 0.1unit/kg body weight Followed by drip of 0.1 unit/kg/hrExpect plasma glucose to drop by 50-70 mg/dL q hr Once at 200 mg/dL, insulin can be dropped to 0.05 -0.1 units/kg/hr (3-6 units/hr) CORRECT ACIDOSISBicarb indicated for pt with severe acidosis below pH 7.0ELECTROLYTES!
