Diseases Process
Patient was instructed on stress. When stress occurs the body prepares to take action. In people who have diabetes this response does not work well. Insulin is not always able to let the extra energy into cells, so glucose piles up in the blood.
Taught that insufficient insulin may lead to high blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia).
Taught that excess insulin and unusual exercise may lead to low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia).
Instructed on some potential factors of hyperglycemia (high blood sugar), such as: excess food and insufficient insulin, among others.
Instructed on some potential factors of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), such as: lack of food and excess insulin, among others.
Instructed on some potential factors of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), such as: excess insulin and unusual exercise, among others.
Taught that Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a syndrome in which insulin production is decreased or absent.
Taught that lack of insulin leads to elevated blood glucose levels.
Instructed in possible cause of hyperglycemia such as too little insulin, too much or wrong kind of food, infection, injury, illness, decreased activity.
