Cards

Term
Diabetes
Definition
7th leading cause of death in the US
Common, chronic disease characterized by hyperglycemia (high blood glucose)
Term
Lack of insulin can cause
Definition
an affect of the metabolism of carbs, proteins, and fat, which can lead to lifelong complications through the body

The Facts Yo
Definition
Autoimmune
Causes destruction of beta cells
Juvenile (kids mostly affect)
Rapid onset
Insulin dependent

Term
Insulin
What does it do?
Definition
The key that opens cells membranes to glucose.
It is released in response to high glucose

Insulin
Promotes
Definition
glucose stores in liver\muscle-glycogen (glycogenesis)
Protein and fat synthesis
Term
Insulin
Inhibits
Definition
Glycogen breakdown to glucose (glycogenolysis)

Glucagon injection
Definition
liver will release stored sugars, arousal in 5-15 minutes, vomiting, call 911 if outside hospital

Term
Loss of consciousness
Definition
1 or 2
On loss of consciousness-could be either depending on the blood glucose level; probably thought of more often with hypo and only hyper with DKA or HHNS.
