Hyperglycemia Teaching 756

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.

Hyperglycemia Teaching 1719

Instructed patient to eat healthy food, as people with diabetes do not need special foods. The foods on your diabetes eating plan are the same foods that are good for everyone in your family. Try to eat foods that are low in fat, salt, and sugar and high in fiber such as beans, fruits and vegetables, and grains. Eating right will help you reach and stay at a weight that is good for your body, keep your blood sugar in a good range and prevent heart and blood vessel disease.

Hyperglycemia Teaching 1720

Instructed to patient exercise is good for those with diabetes. Walking, you can even get exercise when you clean house or work in your garden. Exercise is especially good for people with diabetes because exercise helps keep weight down. Exercise helps insulin work better to lower blood sugar, exercise is good for your heart and lungs. Exercise after eating, not before, test your blood sugar before, during, and after exercising. Don't exercise when your blood sugar is over 240, avoid exercise right before you go to sleep, because it could cause low blood sugar during the night.

Hyperglycemia Teaching 729

Patient was instructed on Hyperglycemia. The way diabetes is managed changes with age. Insulin production decrease because of age-related impairment of pancreatic beta cells. Additionally insulin resistance increase because of the loss of lean tissue and the accumulation of fat, particularly intra-abdominal fat, and the decreased tissue sensitivity to insulin.

Hyperglycemia Teaching 730

Patient was instructed on Hyperglycemia. Glucose tolerance progressively declines with age, leading to a high prevalence of type 2 diabetes and post challenge hyperglycemia in the older population. Age-related glucose intolerance in humans is often accompanied by insulin.

Hyperglycemia Teaching 744

Patient was instructed on Hyperglycemia. Frequent hunger without other symptoms can also indicate that blood sugar levels are too low. This may occur when people who have diabetes take too much oral hypoglycemic medication or insulin for the amount of food they eat.

Hyperglycemia Teaching 745

Hyperglycemia Teaching 746

Patient was instructed on Hyperglycemia. The American Diabetes Association does not recommend alcohol consumption, but it is interesting to note that moderate alcohol intake may reduce the risk of high blood sugar.

Hyperglycemia Teaching 747

Patient was instructed on Hyperglycemia. Diabetes is currently a chronic disease with no cure. There is an exceptionally important role for patient education, diabetic support, self monitoring of blood glucose with the goal of keeping it within acceptable bounds.

Hyperglycemia Teaching 748

Patient was instructed on Hyperglycemia. The basic defect in all patients with diabetes is the decreased ability of insulin to induce cells of the body to remove glucose (sugar) from the blood.
