Hyperglycemia

Diabetes can be classified and categorized in many ways. In general, the different diabetes can be classified as a group of metabolic disorders, all of which are characterized by abnormal metabolism of carbohydrates. The most common complication is hyperglycemia. This is caused by a defect in the secretion of insulin, or a defect in the effects of insulin on the tissues. Typically diagnosed after 30 years of age, Type 2 diabetes is characterized by tissues developing insulin resistance. There…

make pancreas by themselves. The pancreas admits body to use sugar from carbohydrates in the food which you eat for energy or store glucose for using next time. Insulin helps to control your blood glucose level from getting too high hyperglycemia or too low hyperglycemia. If you get more sugar in your body than you need it, insulin helps store that in your organs such as liver and releases. As a result, insulin helps balance about blood glucose levels and keeps them in a usual range. If…

autonomic nervous system can negatively affect every body system. Complications such as incontinence, impotence, decreased tolerance to exercise and gastroparesis. This will interfere with the body’s constant functions to maintain homeostasis. Hyperglycemia causes depletion of nerve endings and well as induced oxidative stress which activates large amounts of protein kinase C. This is linked to substantial vascular damage, which will restrict blood flow in the nerves. The most common form of…

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease which is characterized by hyperglycemia, glycosuria and hyperlipidemia that in the long-term increase the probability of developing diabetic complication such as macrovascular and microvascular then complication increase mortality and morbidity. In microvascular includes diabetic nephropathy, diabetic retinopathy and diabetic neuropathy. Diabetic neuropathy is one of the most common chronic complication of diabetes mellitus that develops in about…

“Diabetes Mellitus is a group of metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action or both”(American Diabetes Association, n. d). A chronic hyperglycemia is associated with long-term damage of various organs such as kidney, heart, nerves, blood vessels and others (American Diabetes Association, n.d). Diabetes is one of the leading cause of death among various population which requires a proper tool to diagnose in earlier stage so that…

pre-existing diabetes that are exposed to hyperglycemia within the first two trimesters of pregnancy have an increased…

glycogenolysis in the fight-or-flight response. Epinephrine can causes a rapid increase in blood glucose concentration. A majorly common disease having to do with epinephrine and blood glucose levels is hyperglycemia. Hyperglycemia is abnormal high blood glucose/sugar levels. Increased epinephrine induced hyperglycemia has elevated levels of glucagon and cortisol in the body. This increased levels can lead to glucose intolerance and can inhibit future glucose…

hormone, epinephrine). This type of hormonal imbalance enhances hepatic gluconeogenesis, glycogenolysis, and lipolysis. Hepatic gluconeogenesis, glycogenolysis secondary to insulin deficiency, and counter-regulatory hormone excess result in severe hyperglycemia, while lipolysis increases serum free fatty acids. Hepatic metabolism of free fatty acids as an alternative energy source (ie, ketogenesis) results in accumulation of acidic intermediate and end metabolites (ie, ketones, ketoacids).…

fingers, progressive vision loss. Once she consulted her primary physician, , hyperglycemia (fasting glucose = 150 mg/dL) and increased BMI (= 30) were found, as well as increased hemoglobin A1C (= 7.9%). Her family history also played a role in diagnosing her since her mother, and grandmother presented the condition. She is currently under medication…

Symptoms may include polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia, dry skin, losing weight, blurry eyesight, and hyperglycemia. Type II Insulin Dependent Diabetes (IDDM) is also a chronic disease due to the inadequate amount of insulin production or insulin resistance has occurred. In this case, the cells fail to respond to insulin…
