pancreas, the role of glucagon, it's released by the
alpha cells in the pancreas, is to counter-regulate the
insulin. What that means is glucagon will actually
increase our blood sugar!!
What are three main 1- not enough insulin production
reasons that 2- excessive counter-regulatory hormone secretion
hyperglycemia occurs? 3- deficient hormone signialing
1- Angiopathy (disease of the blood vessels)
2- peripheral neuropathy (damaged by high sugar)
What are some
3- fluid, electrode, acid balance imbalances
"physiological"
(dehydration too)
consequences of
hyperglycemia??
Think heart, disease, strokes, retinopathy, nephropathy
increase risk for infection!!!
When you think about DM Kidneys and eyes!
patients you should be retinopathy, nephropathy
concerned about there....
What are the three main - adverse medication
reasons that - excessive exercise
hypoglycemia occurs? - not eating enough
-nervousness and axienty
What are some Chronic repeated episodes of hypoglycemia will
"physiological" make the patient unaware that their sugar is that low
consequences of because their body just becomes used to the low
hypoglycemia?? sugar levels, which is very dangerous. Hypoglycemia
is absolutely a medical emergency.
