Condition caused by too much insulin, insufficient food intake, vomiting and diarrhea, and excessive exercise | Hypoglycemia |
Symptoms of nervousness, tremors, headache, apprehension, sweating, cold and clammy skin, hunger; can lead to coma, death are associated with this glucose condition, | Hypoglycemia |
This change in glucose level is treated by administering food/liquids if able to swallow. If unable to swallow, administer glucagon or IV fluids with 50% dextrose | Hypoglycemia |
Glucose response caused by non-adherence, overeating, acute illness, or infection | Hyperglycemia |
Condition associated with these symptoms: headache, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain, dizziness, rapid pulse, rapid shallow respirations, acetone odor to breath, may cause coma and death | Hyperglycemia |
Condition treated with administration of IV fluids; insulin; monitoring blood glucose, ketones, and potassium | Hyperglycemia |
Patients allergic to sulfonamides may be allergic to this class of diabetic medication | sulfonylureas |
The body's Key regulator of metabolism, required for entry of glucose into skeletal muscle and fat, needed for protein and lipid metabolism | Insulin |
Onset: 10 minutes; peak: 1 to 3 hours; duration: 3 to 5 hours | Rapid-acting Insulin |
Onset: 30 minutes; peak: 2.5 to 5 hours; duration: 5 to 10 hours | Short-acting Insulin |
Insulin with Onset: 4 hours; peak: 4 to 12 hours; duration: 16 to 24 hours | Intermediate-acting Insulin |
Insulin with Onset: 1 hour; no peak; duration: 24 hours | Long-acting Insulin |
Classification for Metformin (Glucophage) | Biguanide |
This antidiabetic medication Decreases hepatic glucose production by inhibiting glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis, reduce adsorption of glucose from intestine, increase insulin sensitivity | Biguanide |
Side effects of Nausea, vomiting, anorexia, abdominal cramps, flatulence with this antidiabetic medication | Biguanide |
Serious adverse effects in this condition are malaise, myalgias, respiratory distress, hypotension, fruity smelling breath | Lactic acidosis |
Medication group which stimulates the release of insulin from beta cells of pancreas | Sulfonylurea |
Common adverse effects of this diabetic medication include Nausea, vomiting, anorexia, abdominal cramps, dairrhea | Metformin |
Serious adverse effects Hypoglycemia, hepatotoxicity, blood dyscrasias, dermatologic reactions | Metformin |
(glyburide) (chlorpropamide) (glyburide) ) (tolbutamide) (micronized glyburide) (tolazamide) (glipizide) (glimepiride) | Sulfonylurea agents |
This specific class of oral diabetes medication,can cause a buildup of lactic acid levels. | Biguanides |
