  • The metabolic disease characterized by chronic hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both.
    Diabetes
  • The electrolyte that must be critically assessed before giving insulin because insulin drives it into cells, risking arrhythmias.
    Potassium
  • The two-hour glucose level range (140–199 mg/dL) on a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test indicating prediabetes.
    Impaired glucose tolerance
  • The abdominal organ responsible for converting food into fuel for the body’s cells.
    Pancreas
  • A life-threatening complication caused by a prolonged total lack of insulin, resulting in ketone accumulation and metabolic acidosis.
    DKA
  • The impaired fasting glucose range defined as fasting plasma glucose between 100 and 125 mg/dL.
    Impaired fasting glucose
  • The critical brain condition caused by severe glucose deprivation, usually occurring when blood glucose falls below 50 mg/dL.
    Neuroglycopenia
  • The diagnostic blood glucose level typically seen in DKA that exceeds normal limits.
    Greater than 250 mg/dL
  • The blood pH value indicating acidosis in DKA.
    Less than 7.3
  • The highest priority intervention in DKA management before insulin administration.
    Initiation of IV isotonic fluids (usually normal saline)
  • The only definitive treatment for spontaneous hypoglycemia caused by hyperplastic or neoplastic pancreatic tissue.
    Surgical removal of the hyperplastic or neoplastic tissue
  • Deep, rapid, labored breathing observed in patients with metabolic acidosis such as DKA.
    Kussmaul respirations
  • The condition characterized by insufficient insulin production leading to persistent hyperglycemia.
    Hypoinsulinism
  • The pancreatic hormone that lowers blood sugar by moving glucose into body cells.
    Insulin
  • The early autonomic symptom of hypoglycemia caused by epinephrine release that results in cold sweating.
    Diaphoresis
  • A condition caused by inadequate pancreatic enzyme production characterized by weight loss and fatty stools.
    Malnutrition
  • The pancreatic hormone that raises blood sugar by signaling the liver to release stored glucose.
    Glucagon
  • The enzyme produced by the pancreas that breaks down carbohydrates.
    Amylase
  • The pancreatic function that secretes products through ducts onto an epithelium instead of directly into the bloodstream.
    Exocrine function
  • The condition in which continuous, unregulated insulin secretion leads to β-cell proliferation and reduced apoptosis.
    Hyperinsulinism
