The second type of blood test that can be used to test for Type 2 Diabetes is known as a Random Blood Sugar…

2) DKA usually occurs as a consequence of absolute or relative insulin deficiency that is accompanied by an increase in counter-regulatory hormones (ie, glucagon, cortisol, growth 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.…

snacks such as chips and chocolate milk, which he had eaten. He also stated “I never check my feet – what am I checking for?” His blood glucose levels have been consistently high since admission (between 9.0-12.8 mmol/L) and he stated that his blood sugars are always high at home. Mr. X has verbalized and demonstrated a lack of knowledge about foot care and dietary management for diabetics. Additionally, upon asking him if he would like some education about diabetes management, he expressed that…
