7. A 35-year-old villager with IDDM was examined in the hospital and assured the endocrinologist that he has kept strictly to the recommended diet during insulin treatment. The screening showed that the blood glucose concentration was 6.2 mmol/L; HbA, level was 11.7% (norm 4-6%); no glucose or ketone bodies were detected in the urine. After reviewing the results of laboratory studies, the attending physician was in doubt that the patient followed his nutritional guidelines. Explain this doctor's query. For answer: a) name the reason for the blood HbA, increase; b) list the late complications of diabetes mellitus and explain the molecular mechanisms of their occurrence.

Insulin Lispro subcutaneously for a patient weight 80 kg for 1 month of treatment. Daily dose of insulin is 1 Unit/kg and 60% in short acting, given 4 times per day; ampoules in form of personal injectors (300 Units/3ml). (I would like to figure out the number of personal injector needed for 1 month.) My answer: Daily dose (DD) for a 80 kg patient = 80 x 1 Unit = 80 U 60% is short acting, so DD = 60% of 80 U = (0.6 × 80) U = 48 U Given 4 times per day, so for a single dose = 48 U/4 = 12 U For 1 month (30 days), 30 x 48U = 1440 U Rp. Insulin lispro in ampoules personal injectors 300 Units/3 ml No. ??? (my teacher write is 10 but I don't understand why) Sig. Inject subcutaneously 12 Unit (0.12 ml) before each meal, 4 times a day for 1 month.
