Basal insulin would lower - ANSFBG and in between meals
Name 2 types of bolus insulins - ANSRapid LAG (lispro, aspart, glulisine)
Short (regular)
Name 2 types of basal insulins - ANSIntermediate (NPH)
Long "DDG" (degludec, detemir, glargine)
How to calculate estimated glucose? - ANSA1C 5 correlates to eGlucose of 97. For each
additional A1C add +29.
What happens in Phase I (Fed State)? - ANS1. exogenous glucose is main source of glucose
2. increase insulin, decrease in glucagon
3. insulin prevents glycogen breakdown
4. all tissues use glucose
5. excess glucose is stored as glycogen and TG
What happens in Phase II (post absorptive state)? - ANS1. insulin decrease, increase glucagon
2. glycogen breakdown is main source of glucose
3. hepatic gluconeogenesis also happens
4. adipose tissues break down TG into FFA
5. Glucose: used by all tissues except liver
What happens in Phase III (early starvation state)? - ANS1. some glycogen breakdown
2. but main source is hepatic gluconeogenesis
3. lactate provides 50% of gluconeogenesis substrate
,4. AA, alanine, glycerol are other substrates
5. decrease insulin, increase counter-regulatory hormones (GH, cortisol, glucagon, epi)
6. Glucose: used by all tissues except liver
What happens in Phase IV (preliminary prolonged starvation)? - ANS1. renal + hepatic
gluconeogenesis
2. brain: uses glucose > ketones
3. glucose: brain, RBC, renal medulla
4. increase counter-regulatory hormones
5. protein breakdown (catabolism) starts to happen because fat stores are depleted
What happens in Phase V (secondary prolonged starvation)? - ANS1. renal + hepatic
gluconeogenesis
2. brain: uses ketones > glucose
3. glucose: used by brain, RBC, renal medulla
Phase I (Fed State) Timeline - ANS0-4 hours post meal
Phase II (post absorptive state) Timeline - ANS4-16 hours post meal
Phase III (early starvation state) timeline - ANS16-48 hours post meal
Phase IV (preliminary prolonged starvation) Timeline - ANS2-24 days
Phase V (secondary prolonged starvation) timeline - ANS24-40 days

providers, populations - ANSsystems wide practice
address competencies related to lifelong learning and professionalism - ANSprofessional
practice
Help patients gain SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE, and BEHAVIORS to self manage their diabetes -
