Document Summary
Insulin: decreases blood sugar by anabolic metabolic reaction. Case study- fatigue, weight-loss, constant need to urinate. Diabetes: chronic hyperglycemia; glucose-tolerance disorder. (cid:498)elevated blood glucose levels(cid:499). (igher glucose levels usually from decreased insulin. Can lead to blindness, stroke, heart disease, and lower limb amputations. Classifying: primary dm: type 1 & type 2, secondary: usually due to another problem. Or drug induced dm (corticosteroid treatment of severe asthma): gestational: increase in blood glucose levels when you are pregnant.

Greater than 7= red flag: 2 hour oral glucose test: taking tests at time intervals; after 2 hours if normal should be below 7. 8 (glucose levels). Greater than 11. 1, you are diabetic: hemoglobin: glucose binds to hemoglobin, if you are in the normal range the.
