Document Summary
Case study: adil"s hyperglycemia: effects of no insulin, ketone bodies and ketogenesis, effects of adil"s insulin injection. Your friend adil, a 21 year old male in lmp, is an excellent student but lately has not been doing well at all. You have noticed that he comes to class very tired and complains of lack of energy. Recently he seemed to have a bout of flu-he was nauseated and this has lasted a week. You are quite concerned as adil has lost weight (even the upcoming bch 210 final could not account for this!) And how he drinks: lots and lots of water and coke, he drinks a bottle for each lecture you attend together. Exams are coming up but adil has had difficulty studying and is feverish. You ask him to see your gp but he says he"ll wait to see his own doctor in oakville.
