| Diabetic foot | A person who has diabetes is at increased risk for slow-healing injuries to distal extremities. It is caused by decreased vascularization; the risk of an infection that does not heal is higher. One possible intervention is limb amputation |
| Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) | State of medical emergency; life-threatening condition caused by a state of relative insulin deficiency, marked by hyperglycemia, ketonemia, metabolic acidosis, & electrolyte depletion. Often the 1st presenting sign of type 1 diabetes; common |
| Hemoglobin A1c level (HbA1c) | The average concentration of glucose in the blood over a 6-week to 3-month time period, with levels >6.5% diagnostic of diabetes |

| Hypoglycemia | an abnormally small concentration of glucose in the circulating blood, that is, 50 mg/dL in men & <45mg/dL in women; low blood sugar |
| Ketonuria | Condition in which ketone bodies are present. Ketones are waste products from the body’s breakdown of fat for energy, high concentrations of which leads to DKA |
| Nephropathy | Any disease of the kidney |
| Neuropathy | pathology of the nervous system |
| Peripheral artery disease (PAD) | Leads to impaired would healing, tissue hypoxia, and decreased mobilization of white blood cells to infected tissues; occurs at an earlier age and at a rate of two to four times higher in people with diabetes |
| Peripheral neuropathy | Most common SX include burning pain; stabbing, pricking, or tingling sensation; pathologic skin sensitivity; or deep aching pain; commonly DX among people w/diabetes; diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) - most common complication for patients w/diabetes |
