Question | Answer |
---|---|
glucose testing color top | light gray |
what is in the light gray top | Sodium Fluoride Potassium Oxalate |
Glucose is end product of? | carb metabolism and our bodies main source of energy |
Glucose can be stored as ______ for later use in both ______ and ______ tissue | glycogen, muscle and liver |
When no more tissue spaces is available for storage, glucose is converted to ___ and stored as _____ tissue. (FLUFF) | FAT, adipose |
Insulin is a? | hormone |
Insulin is secreted by the beta cells of the | pancreas |
Lack of insulin condition is called | hyperglycemia |
Blood glucose testing is used to detect | DM |
Diabetes Mellitus is an | auto immune disease, hypoglycemia, and liver and andrencortical dysfunction |
FBS stands for | Fasting Blood Sugar |
FBS pt. must fast for | 12 hrs |
FBS normal range | 70-126 mg/dl |
The purpose of FBS | 1)to evaluate progress or regulate treatment of diabetic pt. 2)routine screening procedure to detect diabetes |
Purpose of 2hr PPBS | Screen for diabetes and monitor effects of insulin dosage in pt.'s w/ diabetes |
2hr-PPBS fasting is mandatory beginning at | midnight the night b4 until breakfast |
2hr-PPBS testing pt.'s can either consume a prescribed meal containing ______ of _____ or drink ____ of _____ solution. | 100g of carbs/ 100 g or glucose solution |
GTT is used to diagnose | DM, hypoglycemia, and liver and adrenocortical dysfunction |
restriction with GTT are | 1)no eating or drinking(except water)affects glucose level.. 2) NO smoking! stimulant that increases blood glucose level..3) Be lazy, Activity uses glucose which can affect test results |
GTT exhibit normal side effects such as... | weakness, feeling faint, perspiration |
with normal side effects of GTT, we the MA should reassure the pt. what? | that it is only temporary |
Serious symptoms of GTT get reported to | the MD immediately |
GTT serious reaction indicate | hypoglycemia |
symptoms of hypoglycemia during GTT | headache, pale, cold and clammy skin, Irrational speech or behavior, profusion perspiration and fainting |
SMBG only needs ___ drop of blood | one |
SMBG stands for | Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose |
diabetic pt.'s who are insulin dependent should be test their levels ____ a day | 4 times |
High blood glucose for a long time (above 180 mg/dl) can cause progressive damage to body organs leading to? | Blindness, kidney disease, nerve damage and circulation problems |
Hemoglobin A1c test is an assessment of an average amount of glucose in the blood for how long of time? | a 3-month period |
glucose that is absorbed into circulation has a ____ quality to it | sticky |
Glycosylation | sticks to protein making up hemoglobin |
where is hemoglobin found? | in RBC |
the function of hemoglobin is | to transport oxygen to tissues of body |
HbA1c test measure: | the percentage of HbA1c |
HbA1c provides the overall picture of blood glucose for past ____ months | 3 |
life span of RBC'S | 90-120 days |
life span for RBC's are | 90-120 days |
Normal individuals % of a HbA1c | 4-6% |
diabetic individuals % of a HbA1c should be less than ___ if the pt. wants a better chance of preventing further complications | 7% |
The result of too much sugar in the blood due to lack of sufficient insulin production. Pt.'s w/ severe diabetes take insulin injections to help their body produce enough insulin. and the medical term for it | diabetic coma (hyperglycemia) |
this is the result of too much insulin being released into the bloodstream, which metabolizes whatever sugars are in the body sometimes resulting in an extremely decreased blood sugar level. These pt.'s will need something sweet to help jolt sugar levels | Insulin shock (hypoglycemia) |
Too much food, too little insulin or diabetes pills, illness or stress and the onset starts slowly and may lead to a medical emergency if not treated | Hyperglycemia |
Symptoms of hyperglycemia | extreme thirst, need to urinate often, dry skin, hungry, blurry vision, drowsy, slow-healing wounds |

Symptoms of hypoglycemia | Shaky, fast heartbeat, sweating, dizzy, anxious, hungry, blurry vision, weakness or fatigue, headache and irritable |
