100% VERIFIED!!
Acetone breath
A fruity or sweet odor on the breath, often associated with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA)
due to the presence of ketones
Amputation
The surgical removal of a body part, usually a limb, due to disease or trauma
Antidiabetic agent
Medications used to manage and control blood glucose levels in individuals with
diabetes
Capillary blood glucose
A measurement of glucose levels obtained from a small blood sample, often obtained
through fingerstick
Fasting blood glucose
Blood glucose levels measured after an overnight fast, typically used to diagnose and
monitor diabetes
Glucose tolerance test
A diagnostic test that measures the body's ability to metabolize glucose, often used to
diagnose diabetes
Glucosuria
The presence of glucose in the urine, often indicative of elevated blood glucose levels
,Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1)
A blood test that reflects average blood glucose levels over the past 2-3 months,
providing a measure of long-term diabetes control
Glycogen
A form of stored glucose in the liver and muscles, serving as a short-term energy
reserve
Hypoglycemia
Abnormally low blood glucose levels, leading to symptoms such as shakiness,
confusion, and sweating
Hyperglycemia
Abnormally high blood glucose levels, a hallmark of diabetes, which can lead to various
complications
Insulin
A hormone produced by the pancreas that regulates blood glucose by facilitating the
uptake of glucose into cells
Ketone/Ketosis
Ketones are byproducts of fat metabolism. Ketosis occurs when the body uses fat for
energy instead of glucose
Ketoacidosis
A serious complication of diabetes, especially type 1, characterized by the presence of
ketones and acidosis
Ketonuria
, The presence of ketones in the urine, often an indication of metabolic stress or
uncontrolled diabetes
Monofilament
A device used in diabetic foot exams to assess sensory perception and detect
peripheral neuropathy
Nephropathy
Kidney disease or damage, a common complication of diabetes.
Neuropathy
-Nerve damage, often affecting the peripheral nerves, common in diabetes
-Can also affect the blood supply to the feet, impairing the healing process
-Makes individuals with diabetes more prone to chronic wounds and infections
Polyuria/Polydipsia
Excessive urination (polyuria) and increased thirst (polydipsia), common symptoms of
diabetes
Polyphagia
Excessive hunger, often observed in individuals with uncontrolled diabetes
Prosthesis
An artificial device, such as an artificial limb or joint, used to replace a missing or
damaged body part.
