- INSULIN AND POTASSIUM RELATIONSHIP
Have you ever wondered why you need to watch the potassium level when you give insulin?
Or how glucose affects the potassium level?
In this video, I'm going to walk through the key things you need to know about insulin, potassium and glucose for your fluids and electrolytes exam in nursing school.
Here's what we'll talk about:
1. Potassium likes to hang out inside of the cell in the intracellular fluid (ICF)
2. When the blood glucose level is elevated, potassium moves outside of the cell into the extracellular fluid (ECF), causing the potassium level to increase.
3. Insulin forces potassium back into the cell, causing the potassium level to decrease.
CRITICAL THINKING POINT:
Serious complications can occur if the potassium level is too high or too low. So any time you're giving insulin or treating a patient with elevated glucose levels, you must watch their potassium level carefully.
Come back to this video any time you need a quick refresher on insulin and potassium shifts in the body.

Thanks for this explanation! I also find it helpful to know WHY this happens: when there is lots of glucose around (signaling a state of abundance) insulin is released. Insulin activates the Na+/K+ ATPase to make energy (ATP). The Na+/K+ ATPse pumps sodium out of the cells and potassium into the cells (I use the mnemonic "PUMP-K-IN" to remind myself in which direction the K goes when the pump is active). Because the K+ is pumped inside the cells, insulin can result in hypokalemia. And for this same reason, insulin can be used to treat dangerous hyperkalemia (although only transiently), in the latter case, we just have to remember to give glucose along with the insulin or the patient will become hypoglycemic! Hope this helps.
Thanks for your feedback, Viviana Ruiz! :) Thanks for letting us know you loved this video, Viviana Ruiz! Your support means the world to us! :)
This is better than the vdo as the latter fails to explain the mechanism behind this which is asked everywhere. Science is all about why.
*Thanks* Viviana
Yes ,it was much helpful ..🥰
This is what I needed
This relationship is much useful in patients with hyperkalemia
We can administer glucose along with insulin to make their potassium levels to normal...
@@pharmdmadeeasy9220 tks a lot for that. I also saw inslun activates sodium bomb exchanging H+ for Na+, which increse concentration inside the cell, activating the bomb. But why does insulin exchange H+ for Na+ is the question now, do you know? :-)

This is glorious, I've been looking for "how do you treat diabetes insipidus" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Wallyamday Improvement Trick - (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my colleague got great results with it.

Great video! I'm a type 1 diabetic and I have high blood pressure with a low potassium level. This was eye opening. I really like your personality as well.
So happy to hear this video was helpful for you, Noah Buie! You will do GREAT! Thank you for being here, your support means the world to us. 😊
Exactly, since potassium lowers blood pressure better than sodium restriction, it points to the need for diabetics to eat more potassium rich veggies (more than non-diabetics) to counteract the imbalance of potassium leaving the ICF to hang with the higher levels glucose in the blood (raising insulin levels) that their high carb diet is creating.
Omg! I finally get it! Thank you for explaining this so well. I hope you have a lot of learning videos, as I am a MUCH older nursing student that needs all the help she can get! Thanks again!

Amazing. I am considering applying for an ausbildung in nursing but I have so many doubts and questions.
I don't want to be assigned in the operating room, I just want to be helping patients who are recovering. I don't want to see people die that's why I don't like operating room. I just want to encourage people on their journey to recovery and ease the pains as much as I am capable.

I absolutely love this thank you so much❤
Awesome 👍
Thank you for being here, @adamwaters8073! 😊
Thanks so much. Helped me understand it clearly now.
Wow, thanks for that info, and easy to understand. I have to make sure I get enough potassium all day because I am diabetic, and I take chlorothoridone for blood pressure and edema...it causes my potassium to drop. Now that I know about potassium levels decreasing after an insulin shot, I will make sure I have enough potassium to compensate for that effect. I also drink Body Armor Lite... it has 2 g of natural sugars, 530 mg of potassium, B vitamins, vitamin C, magnesium and other nutrients. I drink 3 to 4 a day. They are really good ice cold!! Thanks again for the info!!

@@NursingSOS I'm not really using this for "medical advice", but it has helped me understand that my potassium can be affected when I give myself my insulin shot. I do communicate with my doctor, but I personally don't believe he knows enough about diabetes, and that is why I do my own research on line.... most nurses and doctors in the hospitals do not know about diabetes other than if someone's blood glucose is a certain amount, they go by a chart that tells them how much insulin to give. I can tell you that because I was in the hospital with COVID in December for 12 days.... because of them, my blood sugar readings were very high, and in come cases, got too low... like a 57!! There were quite a few times when I did not get my meal like I was supposed to, had already received my shot, and had to continuously remind them that I had not received my meal.... as much as 3-4 hours LATE! Then I would get a "boxed meal" which was wheat bread, 2 very thin slices of highly processed turkey, high in sodium, which I wasn't supposed to have, a bag of baked chips, and a fruit cup which was soaking in high fructose corn syrup, and spiked my blood sugar higher... I had to eat something!! I review a number of sites that have nurses and doctors who teach about diabetes..... because I need to know and be aware... I have learned more from them that I have ever learned from any doctor I deal with. I believe it is important to stay educated about diabetes, because there are so many in the medical profession who do get it wrong... so I hope you don't mind me learning from you who specialize in diabetes management. If you would rather I don't, let me know, and I will be glad to unsubscribe and find another source to learn from... I'm not saying that to be nasty, just respectful if you would rather I don't watch your channel, okay?

As a hyperglycemic diabetic myself. How do you monitor potassium levels? Does low potassium cause dehydration? I tend to drink more water and become nauseous after a few ours, giving me suspicions of dehydration, yet my average daily water intake is pretty normal. Have know knowledge of how it interacts with my insulin shots.

Great video! So from my understanding, it would be correct to say that hyperinsulinism would cause hypokalemia whilst hyperglycemia would cause hyperkalemia right?
Demonic Angelboy_04 so hyperglycemia wouldn't necessarily cause hyperkalemia since it depends more on the insulin and potassium relationship, and increased insulin levels can decrease potassium levels. I hope that helps clarify it for you!
Hi, thank you for sharing this, it's exactly the direct answer I've been looking for
Yay, MOUNTAINYOU! We are so glad this video helped you! Thank you for your support, it means the world to us. 😊
Ur way of communication is really good...I have a doubt..if a patient is hyperglycemic.. insulin administration cause the potassium and glucose level to fall right..so administration of potassium rich die t is good or bad

Thank you for being here, SOMALIA! 😊
It is a good one to help me memorizing the relationship of potassium and glucose level. I just understand that insulin could activate NA-K-ATP pump to help K+ moving back into cells. But is there any reason why hyperglycaemia leading to potassium going out of the cells?
Glucose pulls potassium out of the cells into the extracellular space. Once insulin is given the potassium goes back into the intracellular space. Hope this answers your question!!!
@@NursingSOS i guess its not necessary for a nurse to know this right? we aint no doctors.. he was asking why k+ leak out of the cell
Question; in Addison's disease, there is low blood glucose but high potassium??
Great question, Neha Yadav! Yes, with Addison's Disease you could see low blood glucose and high potassium levels. There isn't enough cortisol to increase blood glucose levels, and hyperkalemia because of too little aldosterone being released, so the kidneys hold onto potassium. I hope that helped clarify it for you! Thank you for being here, your support means the world to us. 😊
Is it not true that blood tests essentially only measure extracellular potassium? If so, then levels going down should be a good thing as that indicates potassium is back in the cell where it's needed?
Teri L.you would still want to monitor the glucose level as well. Thanks so much for being here!

Potassium has huge effects on the heart. Having too much or too little can cause fatal arrhythmias. With hypo you may see a flattening or T wave inversion. U waves are seen in more severe cases and even ST depression. In the most severe cases hypokalemia can lead to vtach.
Potassium is the most important electrolyte regarding your heart it's the main conductor.
Small amount of potassium for a person with reactive hypoglycemia, good or bad idea from ur point of view? U explain v well by the way
Our resources are geared towards helping nursing students through their nursing school journey, we cannot provide medical advice! Glad the explanation helped you though! Thanks for being here, Pac Mac!
Potassium flushes the sodium which causes toxicity in most people because of its overuse
I am no nurse or medical student, but if someone has hypoglycemia, the first port of call would be to raise their blood sugar levels and to make sure it has been taken up by the cells before adding potassium.
In healthy people the human body needs;
4700mg of Potassium
1000-1175mg Sodium
4000mg glucose (for a person weighing 70kg)
We must also remember natural food sources and hospital synthetic chemicals can be processed in the body different, and a sick body is also different from a healthy one.

My Mom had a reaction to Mircera and I now think it might have to do with insulin/potassium...she has been titrating prednisone too.

Do you know how to figure this out?

So giving insulin drives K back into the cells causing an ECF k shortage bringing on symptoms of hypokalemia?
Yes, CompletelySkewed! Exactly, the insulin pushes the potassium into the cells causing less of it outside the cells (in the blood) causing hypokalemia. I hope that clarifies it for you! I hope you have a fantastic day! 😊
@@NursingSOS You ever encounter a diabetic that showed many of the Hypocalcemia symptoms about an hour after short acting insulin injection? ( Not low blood sugar. This is confirmed.)
)Not sure if you are monitoring this but I will give it a shot. During blood work, fasting glucose was 250 because i did not take insulin that morning since I was fasting for the test. The result of the test showed 250 glucose and 5.5 for K (threshold is 5.3 at the lab). Should I take another test with low blood sugar by taking insuline and doing the test again? . I do these tests often myself without doc ordering it...like in labs by paying for it myself. I will visit my doctor in next 2 weeks.

can you use insulin alone if patient has high potassium and hyperglycemia? as in without dextrose?
Great question, Kom Kom! The reason dextrose is added is to slow down the decrease in blood sugar so that a large fluid shift doesn't occur. So typically it is given with dextrose and fluids to slow and balance the shift. I hope that helps clarify it for you! Have a fantastic day!
Do you lose potassium in urine when your insulin is really low? I know you lose salt and other minerals when insulin is low but not sure about potassium.
Brandon, great question, you don't lose potassium in your urine, but your blood sugar would increase because of the lack of insulin.
No wonder I'm so tired there's a party going on inside me ! Lol
Kicking It With Ezekiel AkA Chipz Blanco, hah! Yes you're right!! :) Thank you for being here, frie
are you saying high blood glucose will cause hyperkalemia?
@anthonydiaz8213, yes a high blood glucose level can cause the potassium to shift into the extracellular fluid (instead of it's typical intracellular space) and cause an increase in potassium in the blood.
Hi, so When the potassium comes out of the cell that means it goes straight into the blood? And so when you said potassium level drops too low” it means that everything gets out of the blood and back into the cells? And do they originally belong in the cells? Did I understand it correctly?^^
Yes!!! You've got it, LiciJamaicaLi! This can get confusing. Potassium moves outside the cell, it is usually inside the cell and likes to stay there, but it will shift to help maintain homeostasis.
NursingSOS Thank you^^
This is simple explanation
Nice explanation. I know potassium like parties and for sure also like to dance hard and only police insuline can stop it doing so
Yay, Juan Marquez! We are so glad this video helped you! Thank you for your support, it means the world to us. 😊
so in the case of someone with obesity due to constantly elevated insulin levels, would they be low in potassium all the time?
Great question, Smith Square! Since insulin and potassium are inversely related and inslin causes potassium to shift into the cells, high levels of insulin may cause a big shift of potassium into the cells. I hope that helps clarify it for you. Thank you for being here. Have a fantastic day 😊
@@NursingSOS So that's a yes, I take it... I'm just wondering what the long term effects of sequestering potassium like this would be... I have a friend with hyperinsulinemia. I'm just researching for curiosity's sake
You make learning fun
Yay! I'm so happy to hear it, Lorraine! That's my goal!! :)

Now I know what happened to my sister when she was going septic, had to call the ambulance to take her to the ER, and they did blood work and urine test and it came back with very high blood sugar and too much Potassium, so they gave Humulin R, they told me that is how they bring down the Potassium levels, I was surprised
Hey! How do you administer the insulin for hyperkalemia ? Do you mix it in with d50 or do you push insulin first then d50 or vice versa?
Also, beta 2 agonist helps with hyperkalemia too 👍
It may depend on your facility what the policy is, but as long as you are giving them both very close together so that the insulin doesnt have time to drop the sugar it will work! Thanks for being here, Nadia E.!
