Insulin Pump and diabetes technologies

how does diabetes technology work?

model → sensory → makes glucose changes with insulin

what can pumps do?

cause insulin adjustment

what is continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) used for?

monitoring only

not diagnosis

which of the following are typically elevated in autoimmune type 1 diabetes?

-pancreatic beta cells

-plasma insulin levels

-capillary blood glucose levels

-plasma C-peptide

-glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) andtibodies-65

capillary blood glucose levels and GAD antibodies

which of the following is untrue about insulin?

-Insulin acts through a receptor tyrosine kinase to trigger signalling that promotes glucose uptake

-Insulin is a peptide hormone

-Insulin lowers blood glucose by promoting uptake of glucose into muscle and adipose tissue via GLUT4 translocation

-Insulin is a catabolic hormone

-A primary physiologic effect of insulin on the liver is inhibition of ketogenesis

-Insulin is a catabolic hormone

which of the following statements are true about continuous glucose monitoring?

-CGM is primarily utilised for diagnosis rather than treatment monitoring

-CGM sensors can be reused

-CGM sensors have completely replaced traditional blood glucose monitoring methods

-TIR on the standard ambulatory glucose profile is the amount of time spent between 33.9-10mmol/L

-All CGMs need daily calibration with capillary blood glucose level

TIR on the standard ambulatory glucose profile is the amount of time spent between 33.9-10mmol/L
