Parkinson's Disease Nutritional Therapy - ANSWERS-Malnutrition and
constipation can be serious consequences. Absorption of levodopa may
be impaired by protein and vitamin B6. Patients with dysphagia and
bradykinesia need food that is easily chewed and swallowed.
Parkinson's Disease Nursing Management - ANSWERS-Promote physical

Promote balance, rock body side to side and maintain a wide base of
support.
Teach maintenance of good health, independence, and avoidance of
complications.
,Counterregulatory Hormones - ANSWERS-Oppose the effects of insulin,
and increase blood glucose levels. They provide a regulated release of
glucose for energy, and help maintain normal blood glucose levels.
Glucagon - ANSWERS-Normally produced by pancreatic alpha cells
when blood sugar is low to raise blood glucose levels. In diabetes II,
glucagon is still produced, but because there is so much insulin, our
pancreas doesn't respond normally.
Endocrine System Function - ANSWERS-Produce hormones and secrete
them directly into the bloodstream
Insulin - ANSWERS-Regulator of metabolism and storage of ingested
carbohydrates, fats, and proteins (anabolic or storage hormone).
Facilitates glucose transport across cell membranes
Diabetes Mellitus - ANSWERS-A chronic, multi-system disease related
to abnormal insulin production, impaired insulin utilization, or both.
There is no cure, but diabetic complications can be delayed or
prevented with good management. African Americans, Hispanic/Latino
Americans, and Native Americans have a higher incidence of diabetes.
,Diabetes Complications - ANSWERS-Diabetes is the leading cause of
adult blindness, end-stage renal failure, and non-traumatic lower limb
amputations. It is also a major contributing factor to heart disease and
stroke.
Gerontologic Considerations with Diabetes - ANSWERS-Diabetes
prevalence increases with age related to reduced B-cell function,
decreased insulin sensitivity (!!), and altered carb metabolism.
Undiagnosed and untreated diabetes is more common in older adults,
partly due to the normal physiologic changes of aging resembling that
of DM.
Diabetes is present in at least 25% of people over age 65.
Diabetes Type I Epidemiology - ANSWERS-Formerly known as "juvenile

Most often occurs in people under 40 years old, and accounts for 5-10%
of all people with diabetes.
Has a sudden onset.
It is an autoimmune disease, in which B-cells responsible for insulin
production are destroyed. A genetic predisposition and exposure to a
virus are factors that may contribute to the development of DM I.
Autoantibody are produced and destroy B-cells. Manifestations occur
, after the pancreas is unable to produced insulin, and symptoms are
rapid. Usually patients present to ER with DKA.

Polydipsia
Polyphagia
Weight loss
Prediabetes - ANSWERS-Known as impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or
impaired fasting glucose (IFG).
A1C Lab - ANSWERS-It is a test that determines how well your glucose
was stabilized within the last three months.

the last 3 months
Diabetes Type II Etiology - ANSWERS-Probably has a genetic basis.
