Home Blood Glucose Test Glucometer 5

S.SUNITHA THENDRAL ‘06

URINE "GLUCOSE"◦ lacks sensitivity = positivity in disease◦ poor specificity = negativity in health

Problems◦ renal threshold variable 6 to 15 mmol/L◦ interferences : Clinitest / Glucose oxidase strips

IF URINE TEST POSITIVE A CONFIRMATORY BLOOD TEST

IS NEEDED

Diagnosis◦ Patient is symptomatic plus

Casual plasma glucose (non-fasting) is 200 mg/dl OR

Fasting plasma glucose of 126 mg/dl or higher OR

Two hour plasma glucose level of 200 mg/dl or greater during an oral glucose tolerance test

A venous blood sample will be collected for the determination of fasting glucose

Load of 75g of glucose is ingested within 5 min

Blood samples will be collected at timed intervals (30min, 60min, 120min) for the determination of glucose

Plasma glucose (mmol/L) 0 min

120 min

Non diabetic < 6.1 < 7.8

Impaired glucose tolerance 6.1 - 6.9 >7.8 - 11.1

Diabetic > 7.0 > 11.1

HbA1c is stable glycosylated

hemoglobin Its percentage concentration

indicates cumulative glucose exposure

A good indicator of blood glucose control. Gives a % that indicates control over the

preceding 2-3 months. Performed 2 times a year. A hemoglobin of 6% indicates good control

and level >8% indicates action is needed.

Lowering HbA1C Reduces Risk of Complications

TO PREVENT TIMELY EMERGENCIES

People with type 1 diabetes who are age 10 and older

should have an eye exam within 3 to 5 years after diabetes

is diagnosed and then every year

People with type 2 diabetes should have an exam as soon

as diabetes is diagnosed and then every year

Assess symptoms - muscle weakness, muscle cramps, prickling, numbness or pain, vomiting, diarrhea, poor bladder control

Nerve conduction studies Electromyographic examination (EMG) Ultrasound

WHY DM HAS HIGH RISK FOR MI? LACK OF INSULIN ACTIVATES LIPASE GLYCATION OF LDL INCREASES ITS HALF
