Diabetes insidious
This thyroid disorder consists of enlarged anterior portion of the neck, dysphagia, dyspnea
Goiter
This classification of insulin is releases over 24hours to control blood sugars without peaks.
What is Long-acting insulin?
i.e. glargine insulin (Lantus), detemir insulin (Levemir).
Alpha cells of the pancreas produce this hormone
What is glucagon?

What is abdomen (arms, thighs, hips, buttocks accepted)?
A rare tumor of the adrenal medulla that secretes catecholamines (epinephrine and norepinephrine
What is pheochromocytoma?

What is....
glucagon IM.
D50W solution IV.
(would accept either with or without route)
this class of medications can increase one's blood sugar by the liver being more resistant to insulin
What are corticosteroids (steroids, prednisone, hydrocortisone)?
-Insulin acts to increase uptake of glucose in the liver, decreasing gluconeogenesis and promoting glycogen synthesis. Thus, the hyperglycemia in the presence of high doses of insulin cause excessive production and storage of glycogen in the liver.
This diabetic condition is caused from damage to sensory nerve fibers resulting in numbness and pain.
diabetic neuropathy
the disorder due to increase in ADH release
SIADH
This disorder includes elevated heart rate, needing thyroid levels checked, ECG, CT, or MRI, RAIU testing, elevated T3 and T4, low TSH
What is hyperthyroidism?
When mixing insulin such as rapid and intermediate insulin, which is drawn up first?
example rapid insulin Novolog (Lispro) and intermediate Humulin N
clear before cloudy, draw up rapid first, then Humulin N (NPH)
insulin to carb ratio

the 3 "P"s of Diabetes are
Adrenocortical insufficiency caused by damage or dysfunction of the adrenal cortex.
What is Addison's disease?
emergent response due to abrupt stopping of thyroid medication loss of consciousness, hypotension, hypothermia, respiratory failure, hyponatremia, and hypoglycemia.
myxedema coma
This classification of insulin is given to control blood sugars between meals and at night. It is sometimes used as intervention for Somogyi effect/rebound hyperglycemia
What is Intermediate-acting insulin?
i.e. NPH insulin (Humulin N, Novolin N)
high insulin dose at night, results in hypoglycemia while sleeping and then blood sugar increases in the morning. Treatment decrease insulin or give intermediate insulin.
What is Somogyi effect/rebound hyperglycemia?
patient's signs and symptoms include shakiness, diaphoresis with cool, clammy skin, blurred vision, tachycardia, if they can eat what is one food item recommended from the text that you can give them? (Do not have to list amounts)

thyroiditis
this insulin classification peaks in 2-4 hours and lasts about 5-7 hours
What is short acting insulin?
i.e. Humulin R and Novolin R
A diabetic emergency with hyperglycemia, metabolic acidosis, fat is broken down, and it is likely to occur with Type 1 Diabetes
Diabetic Ketoacidosis
hyperglycemia, life-threatening condition, occurs in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Hyperglycemic Hyperosmolar Nonketotic Syndrome (HHNS)
