QuestionAnswer
Diabetes Mellitus metabolic syndrome with hyperglycemia and alterations in metabolism of carbs fats and proteins, decondary to absent or reduces production of insulin and or ineffective action of insulin
Type 1 beta cells in islets of langerhans damaged and cannot produce insulin, early onset, patient underweight, lack of effective insulin, ketosis prone, need insulin to live
glucose blood sugar
glycogen stored glucose
glucogenolysis breakdown of glycogen
