This document provides an overview of diabetes education, including what diabetes is, its types and treatments, complications, and tips for prevention and management. It discusses that diabetes affects the blood vessels by decreasing blood flow, which can lead to damage of small and large blood vessels. It emphasizes the importance of getting active in care through proper nutrition, physical activity, foot inspections, and being aware of abnormal blood sugar levels and related symptoms. It stresses creating new lifestyle defaults like regularly checking blood sugar and exercising to better manage a diabetic condition.

Overview Diabetes - What is it? Complications/Risks Prevention - A New Lifestyle Signs and Symptoms of Adverse Events
Diabetes Insulin Important hormone that brings blood sugar (glucose), into your bodys cells. Essentially your energy transport!
Diabetes - Overview Glucose One of the main sources of energy for your body Brain uses Glucose ONLY - uses about 20% of the bodys need for glucose
Diabetes Types Type 1 Body does not produce INSULIN naturally Insulin DEPENDENT Type 2 Body is resistance to INSULIN Insulin RESISTANT
Diabetes Treatment Type 1 - INSULIN replacement therapy Type 2 - LIFESTYLE modification
Diabetes Complications Main culprit - DECREASED BLOOD FLOW HIGH blood sugar concentrations affect the inside layer of your blood vessels
Diabetic Complications Microangiopathy = damage to small blood vessels Mainly affects: eyes, kidneys, nerve endings
Diabetic Complications Macroangiopathy = damage to larger blood vessels Atherosclerosis = clogging of the blood vessels
Diabetic Complications Foot Uclers Combination of nerve damage and damaged blood supply Thus, POOR HEALING!
Any questions so far?
Get active with your care!
Getting Active Proper Nutrition Regular Physical Activity Foot Inspection
Proper Nutrition Goals: Reach healthy weight and control blood sugar Eat at about the same times each day Be consistent with the types of food you eat Careful meal planning
Regular Physical Activity
Regular Physical Activity Exercise has INSULIN-LIKE effects on blood sugar, thus can decrease blood sugar level Physical activity helps build better fitness and lose weight Minimum 30 minutes a day - best to do aerobic and strength training.
Foot Care About 7,200 nerve endings at your foot Nerve endings likely to suffer diabetic neuropathy Inspect feet twice a day and always after any physical activity
Foot Care Gentle cleaning Apply moisturizers (Dry skin likely to crack!) AVOID THE FOLLOWING: hot soaks, heating pads, and harsh topical agents like hydrogen peroxide, iodine (Betadine) and astringents
Foot Care More tips: Trim toe nails, keeping them neat and short Wear clean socks and comfortable shoes Use a mirror aid to inspect
Any questions so far?
Abnormal Blood Sugar Levels Hyperglycemia HIGH blood sugar levels Hypoglycemia LOW blood sugar levels Ask your MD/nurse whats abnormal for you.
Abnormal Blood Sugar Levels Hyperglycemia Persisting Hyperglycemia Diabetic Ketoacidosis
Hyperglycemia Signs & Symptoms Signs & Symptoms High blood sugar level Frequent urination Increased thirst Dry mouth Blurry vision Fatigue or drowsiness
Persisting Hyperglycemic Signs & Symptoms Signs & Symptoms Difficulty breathing Dizziness when up to standing Rapid weight loss Increased drowsiness and confusion Unconsciousness or coma
Diabetic Ketoacidosis Body uses protein and fats for energy Life-threatening Symptoms: shortness of breath, nausea and vomiting, dry mouth, breath smells fruity, stomach pain
Hypoglycemic Symptoms Shakiness Dizziness Sweating Hunger Headache Pale skin color Sudden moodiness or behavior changes Clumsy or jerky movements Seizure Difficulty paying attention or confusion Tingling sensations around the mouth
Default Settings
Change the Defaults of your Life of your Life Creating a new default, eliminates the necessity to choose - the choice is already made! Establish new defaults: Regularly checking blood sugar Regularly inspecting your foot Exercise at your most convenient time
Summary Diabetes ultimately affect your blood vessels, which lead to more complications! Be active with your care with proper nutrition, physical activity, and regular foot inspections. Be aware of hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic symptoms. Create new lifestyle defaults for your diabetic condition.
