Insulin shock | Hypoglycemia is precipitated by an excess of insulin, which causes a deficit of glucose in the blood |
Glyburide (Diabeta) | Hypoglycemic drug: stimulates the beta cells of the pancreas to increase insulin release. |
Metformin (Glucophage) | Hypoglycemic drugs: Reduces insulin resistance by decreasing hepatic production and intestinal absorption o f glucose, and increasing sensitivity to insulin |
Troglitazone (Rezulin) | Hypoglycemic drug: Increase tissue sensitvity to insulin |
Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) | insufficient insulin, which leads to high blood glucose levels and mobilization of lipids. |

Kidney Function | Remove-waste, hormones, drugs, foreign material, regulate water, electrolytes, acid-base balance, secrete erythropoietin, activate V-D, regulate blood pressure through rennin-angiotensin-aldosterone system |
Mononucleosis (kissing disease) | Diagnosed by the heterophil antiboy test (monospot) Manifestations include increase in lymphocytes, moncytes, rash on trunk, enlarged lymph nodes and spleen, sore throat, h/a, fever, fatigue, and malaise. |

Presbyopia | Farsightedness associated with aging |
Astigmatism | Irregular curvature in the cornea or lens |
Strabismus (squint or cross-eye) | results from a deviation of one eye, resulting in double vision (diplopia) |
