Document Summary
This response increases the desire to eat, which increases the hyperglycemia: glucogenesis production of glucose (protein is broken down and convered to glucose by the liver). In diabetes, this glucose contributes to the hyperglycemia. ** note that people with type 1 diabetes do not produce any insulin at all. Insulin classification: bolus insulin single dose of insulin, typically given around meal times (4 times a day). This insulin is quick/short acting (usually within a half hour). Insulins that are supposed to be taken before meals are most efficient 30 minutes prior to eating: e. g. , rapid (aspart, lispro) and short acting (regular, basal insulin insulin that lasts in your bloodstream a longer time. This insulin is slow release and constantly works to keep your glucose under control: e. g. , intermediate (nph) and long acting (determir, glargine) Glucose monitoring: important to maintain glucose within normal range, less than 6 years of age: 6-10 mmol/l, 6-12 years of age: 4-10 mmol/l.
