Patient was instructed on Insulin. Insulin is a hormone released from the pancreas. A hormone is a chemical messenger secreted by a gland that then travels in the blood
to act on other parts of the body. Insulin is the primary substance responsible for maintaining appropriate blood
sugar levels. Insulin allow
s sugar to be transported into cells so that they can produce energy or store the glucose until it is needed.
Patient was instructed on Hyperglycemia. The symptom of being frequently urinating is because the excess blood
sugar spills into the urine, meaning that as the blood

Patient was instructed on Hyperglycemia. If the body doesn't produce enough insulin (which occurs in people with type 1 diabetes and a few people with type 2 diabetes), blood
sugar levels may rise. This may cause high blood
sugar in the morning before the person eats.
Patient was instructed on Hyperglycemia. When the blood
sugar level rises abovemg/dL, the kidneys will eliminate some of the extra sugar through the urine. Along with sugar, the kidneys release large amounts of fluid, which causes increased urination. If the blood
sugar level continues to rise and patient hasn
Patient was instructed on Hyperglycemia. To prevent high blood
sugar emergencies, treat infections early. Untreated infections (such as urinary tract infections, pneumonia, and skin infections) can increase the risk for a high blood
sugar emergency.
Patient was instructed on hyperglycemia. It is important to know that glucose levels vary before and after meals, and at various times of the day. Sustained high levels of blood
sugar cause damage to the blood
vessels and to the organs they supply, leading to the complications of diabetes.
Patient was instructed on type II diabetes. Some people with type II diabetes can get blood
sugar control through diabetes pills. These people do produce some insulin. But it is not enough to keep their blood
sugar under control. Type II diabetes can often be controlled by weight loss, sensitive eating, and pills that improve the insulin supply or help it work better.
