Patient was instructed on type I diabetes. For people with type I diabetes, taking insulin is crucial. With type I diabetes the body doesn
Patient was instructed on hypoglycemia. When blood sugar drops too low, the level of insulin declines and other cells in the pancreas release glucagon, which causes the liver to turn stored glycogen back into glucose and release it into the blood. This brings blood sugar levels back up to normal.
Instructed in possible causes of hypoglicemia such as too much insulin, not enough food, overexertion or GI disturbance.
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.
