This metabolic compound causes a fruity breath.
Ketones (or) Acetone
If left untreated, fat breakdown produces these molecules, causing ketoacidosis.
Ketone bodies
There are four types of testing done for this diagnosis
A1C, Fasting Plasma Glucose, Oral Glucose Tolerance Test, and Random Plasma Glucose Test
A small device worn on the outside of the body
Insulin pump
There are two types of this disease
Type I and Type II
Tingling or loss of sensation in the hands and feet is caused by long-term damage to these structures.
Peripheral nerves (or) neuropathy
This hormone raises blood sugar by stimulating glycogen breakdown.
Epinephrine (or) cortisol
These types often don't have any symptoms
Prediabetes and type II diabetes
This is done to lower blood sugar levels by moving sugar into the cells, where it’s used for energy
Physical Activity
Individuals are likely to carry this to quickly raise low blood sugar
Glucose
Frequent urination, dehydration, and increased appetite are characteristic of this condition.
Hyperglycemia
With insufficient insulin in the body, the body begins to break down this.
Fat (or) lipids
Diagnosis is at blood glucose levels that are greater or equal to
200 mg/dL
This type of transplant is done for type I individuals, leading to no more insulin needed
Pancreas Transplant
A condition caused by extremely high blood sugar and leading to the risk of life-threatening consequences if untreated.
Diabetic Ketoacidosis
These types of wounds, such as cuts or consistent infections, take longer to heal due to decreased immune function.
Slow-healing wounds
Destruction of beta cells in the pancreas leads to a total lack of this hormone.
Insulin
This test looks at your average blood glucose over the past few months
A1C test
Treatments for Pre_____ individuals normally involve what kind of treatment
Healthy lifestyle habit change.
This pancreatic hormone increases blood glucose levels when they fall too low.
Glucagon
These types of wounds, such as cuts or consistent infections, take longer to heal due to decreased immune function.
Weight loss
This organ is located in the upper abdomen, produces glucagon and somatostatin.
Pancreas
This is the expected fasting range of blood glucose (mg/dL).
80-100 mg/dL
When someone has a higher A1C result, this means that they would need to change their diet, oral medication, or the type of treatment
Insulin therapy
This organ functions as a storage site for glycogen. Also helps with alcohol breakdown.
