impotence, stroke |\




Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) pathophysiology - CORRECT
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


ANSWERS ✔✔when insulin is not present to move glucose into
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


cells for energy, the body begins to metabolize fat; fatty acid
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


metabolism results in the formation of ketone bodies; ketone |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


bodies are acidic and produce metabolic acidosis, diuresis, and
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


electrolyte loss |\

,Metformin - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Biguanide
|\ |\ |\ |\




MOA:
1. inhibits glucose production in liver
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\




2. reduces glucose absorption in the gut
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




3. sensitizes insulin receptors in target tissues--increases glucose
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


uptake |\
