a group of metabolic diseases characterized by
diabetes hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin
secretion, insulin action, or both
a metabolic derangement, most commonly occurring in
type 1 diabetes, that results from a deficiency of insulin;
diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA)
highly acidic ketone bodies are formed, resulting in
acidosis
fasting plasma glucose blood glucose determination obtained in the laboratory
(FPG) after fasting for at least 8 hours
any degree of glucose intolerance with its onset during
gestational diabetes
pregnancy
a measure of glucose control that is a result of glucose
molecule attaching to hemoglobin for the life of the red
glycated hemoglobin
blood cell (120 days) (synonyms: glycosylated
hemoglobin, HgbA1C, or A1C)
the amount a given food increases the blood glucose
glycemic index
level compared with an equivalent amount of glucose
elevated blood glucose level
hyperglycemia
hyperglycemic a metabolic disorder, most commonly of type 2
hyperosmolar syndrome diabetes resulting from a relative insulin deficiency
(HHS) initiated by an illness that raises the demand for insulin
hypoglycemia low blood glucose level
a metabolic stage intermediate between normal
impaired fasting glucose
glucose homeostasis and diabetes; referred to as
(IFG)
prediabetes
, a metabolic stage intermediate between normal
impaired glucose tolerance
glucose homeostasis and diabetes; referred to as
(IGT)
prediabetes
a hormone secreted by the beta cells of the islets of
Langerhans of the pancreas that is necessary for the
insulin
metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats; a
deficiency of insulin results in diabetes
a highly acidic substance formed when the liver breaks
ketone
down free fatty acids in the absence of insulin
latent autoimmune diabetes a subtype of diabetes
of adults (LADA)
medical nutrition therapy nutritional therapy prescribed for management of
(MNT) diabetes that usually is given by a registered dietitian
a long-term complication of diabetes in which the
kidney cells are damaged; characterized by
nephropathy
microalbuminuria in early stages and progressing to
end-stage kidney disease
a long-term complication of
diabetes resulting from damage
neuropathy
to the nerve cell
impaired glucose metabolism in which blood glucose
concentrations fall between normal levels and those
considered diagnostic for diabetes; includes impaired
prediabetes
fasting glucose and impaired glucose tolerance, not
clinical entities in their own right but risk factors for
future diabetes and cardiovascular disease
a condition that occurs when the
small blood vessels that nourish
retinopathy
the retina in the eye are damaged
self-monitoring of blood a method of capillary blood glucose testing
glucose (SMBG)
