Hypoglycemia

serve, is here for followup of diabetes, and hyperlipidemia, hepatitis C. SUBJECTIVE Overall he feels well. He stopped taking the glipizide because he had an episode of hypoglycemia. He starts work at 7:00 in the morning and cannot eat until 8:30 if he takes his glipizide before he comes to work then he has episodes of hypoglycemia and the guards will not let him change how he eats even though he was offered food in the kitchen. His only real meal is breakfast but he eats a very big…

month for hypoglycemia. They have that disease because of hunger and fasting. To support his argument, he uses some statistics. However there are some missing element he could use to support his point of view. Therefore, for this evaluation, the goal will be to summarize the article, bring out the good points and show the missing points which weaken his statement. Matthew O 'Brien argues that people with low-income, especially when they have diabetes, are more subject to hypoglycemia at the…

Hypoglycemia occurs when the sugar levels are below the normal range. Hypoglycemia is when sugar levels are below 70 mg/dL (ATI Nursing Education, 2014). In hypoglycemia, the body is low on sugar and as mentioned before sugar equals energy. Therefore, in hypoglycemia the body is depleted of energy and it’s way of letting the person know that it’s low of energy it’s by manifestations…

effects, weight, comorbidities, and hypoglycemia risk). Except for type 1 DM patient’s insulin therapy should not be delayed. Some recomeeended therapy fpr type 1 DM: 1. Multiple-dose insulin injections( three to four injection per day of basal and prandial insulin) or CSII therapy. 2. Match prandial insulin o carbohydrate intake. Pre-meal blood glucose, and anticipated physical activity. 3. For most patients (especially those at elevated risk of hypoglycemia). Use insulin analogs. 4. For…

simple pathophysiology, skills, school, and support. Safety pertains to the disease knowledge. The more patients and families understand their disease the better they will be equipped to manage it. Families should be taught the warning signs of hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia and the steps needed to correct the complication, glucose levels, and ways to manage the disease. Not only should parents be educated but also all other providers of the child should be as well to always be fully prepared.…

administered by the subcutaneous or intramuscular route. If glucagon is the selected treatment, then oral (if consciousness returns) or IV carbohydrates must be administered shortly after administration because glucagon has a short period of action, so hypoglycemia may be induced once again without carbohydrates (Lemone et al., 2015, p. 523). These actions, assessments, and treatments are essential when caring for a patient experiencing…

individual becomes hyperglycemic (high blood sugar) or hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), leading to the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. The hormone insulin’s role is to…

DM is a group of metabolic disorders which characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from defects in either insulin secretion, action, or both. The chronic hyperglycemia associated with DM resulting in long term damage, dysfunction, and failure of different body organs especially the kidneys, the eyes, the nerves, the heart, and the blood vessels. T1DM is defined as a chronic disease characterized by hyperglycemia as a result of inadequate production of insulin by the pancreas. This occurs due to…

it needs to enter the cells of the body, this is done by insulin. When blood sugar levels go up, the pancreas releases its insulin and regulates the blood sugar level. Response to decrease of glucose in the body: Hypoglycemia is the medical term for low blood sugar levels. A Hypoglycemia reaction is caused by increased demand for glucose. The body could "run out" glucose faster, therefore bringing a hypoglycemic attack. Persistent intake of excessive alcohol can cause this reaction, this is…

Acute complications of diabetes include diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), hyperosmolar hyperglycemic nonketotic syndrome (HHS), and hypoglycemia. DKA and HHS occurs when there is insufficient insulin to transport glucose into the cells. The difference between DKA and HHS is that in HHS an individual has just enough insulin to prevent ketoacidosis but not enough to prevent osmotic diuresis, hyperglycemia, and extracellular fluid depletion (Robbins, Shaw, & Lewis, 2010). DKA is more common in type 1…
