Patient was instructed on diabetes with illness. Taking the medications, testing the blood glucose levels, and staying hydrated are all parts of managing the diabetes during sick days.
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.
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.
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.
Patient was instructed on Hyperglycemia. The blood sugar can rise to an unsafe level if: Skipping a dose of pills for diabetes, or skipping a dose of insulin Eating too much food. Feeling a lot of stress. Being sick (such as a severe case of the flu) or having an infection, even if not eating a lot of food.
Patient was instructed on Hyperglycemia. If dehydrated the body burns protein and fat rather than sugar for energy, causing acids and ketones to build up in your blood. These ketones can be partially released into the urine. If ketoacidosis develops, emergency care is needed immediately to keep the condition from getting worse.
Patient was instructed on Hyperglycemia. Drink plenty of liquids. If the blood sugar levels are above the target range, drink extra liquids to replace the fluids lost through the urine. Waters and diet drinks are best. Avoid caffeinated drinks, alcohol, and soda pop and other liquids that contain a lot of sugar.
Patient was instructed on Hyperglycemia. This disease occurs naturally during times of infections and inflammation. When the body id stressed, endogenous (that are part of the sympathetic nervous system) are released that serve to raise the blood sugar levels.
Patient was instructed on Hyperglycemia. Blood sugar can rise well above normal for significant periods without producing permanent effects or symptoms. Howeverchronic hyperglycemia at levels more slightly above normal can produce a very wide variety of serious complications over a period of years.
Patient was instructed on hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia may result from a variety of causes, which include: Spontaneous reactive hypoglycemia. Symptoms of hypoglycemia within 1 to 2 hours after a meal in people who have not had stomach surgery is called spontaneous reactive hypoglycemia. It also is sometimes called functional or idiopathic hypoglycemia. In many cases, it is difficult to verify that the symptoms are caused by low blood sugar.
