To examine: Whether the statement “Lois plans to perform aerobic exercise 25 minutes daily because it will help improve insulin resistance, lower blood glucose levels, and improve her blood lipid levels” is true or false.
Introduction: Glucose in blood stream serves as a basic fuel for energy production. The complex carbohydrate we consume in form of food is broken down into glucose, which directly gets assimilated into the blood stream. The latter is followed by increased glucose level in response to which the beta cells of pancreas produce insulin, whose primary work is to supply glucose to all cells and lowers the blood glucose level. Inactivity or absence of insulin increases the glucose levels in blood, giving rise to type-2-diabetes.

Nutrition Through The Life Cycle
- Develop a nutritional education plan for a person with type 1 diabetes and a person with type 2 diabetes. In your educational plan, include the nutritional considerations and medication interactions for at least one oral medication and one type of insulin.arrow_forwardWhat are the various blood tests done to detect blood glucose levels? Prepare a client teaching sheet that addresses: 1. Role of the oral glucose tolerance test (ogtt)in the diagnosis and management of diabetes. 2. Preparations for the OGTT. 3. Procedures for a home screening test for blood glucose levels.arrow_forwardA student with type 1 diabetes tells the nurse they are feeling light-headed. The student's blood glucose is 3.0 mmol/L. Using the 15-15 rule, the nurse should give: Question 101 options: 15 g of carbohydrate and 15 g of protein 15 ounces of juice and re-test the blood sugar in 15 minutes 15 ml of juice and give another 15 ml in 15 minutes 15 g of carbohydrate and re-test the blood sugar in 15 minutesarrow_forward
- 1. What is the pathophysiology (symptoms and complications) of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Write only in points. 2. What is the medical nutrition therapy for type1 and type 2 diabetes. Write only in points.arrow_forwardAn existing patient of yours is seen in the clinic. In reviewing his intake form before seeing him, you notice a sudden weight loss from his visit last year and is here to discuss it with you. If you suspect that due to his family history of diabetes, the patient may now have Type 1 diabetes, what are some other questions that you will ask him? What are some other risk factors that may lead you to the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus?arrow_forwardA 76-year-old patient states, “I have been experiencing com-plications of diabetes.” The nurse needs to direct the patient to gain more information. What is the most appropriate com-ment or question to elicit additional information? a. “Do you take two injections of insulin to decrease thecomplications?” b. “Most physicians recommend diet and exercise to regulateblood sugar.”c. “Most complications of diabetes are related to neuropathy.”d. “What specific complications have you experienced?”arrow_forward
- Physical Concerns Reason for the physical concern IS 1. Nausea and A. Increased prolactin levels for milk production vomiting B. relaxation of GI muscle tone due to elevated ERS 2. Heartburn progesterone level C. Increased appetite 4. physiologic anemia D. relaxation of cardiac sphincter or anxiety 5. Enhanced Appetite E. Secretion of nutrient into breastmilk 3. Increase BMR 6. Calcium F. This is due to increase in oxygen consumption Homeostasis related to increase cardiac output and due to 7. Constipation 8. Postpartum weight G. Circulating volume increase by 30-50%, Total increase oxygen needs of the placenta retention body water increases 9. Inadequate weight H. vomiting gain I. Energy intake more than the required 10. Excessive weight (there are only 9 choices) gainarrow_forwardA nurse is caring for a 50-year-old client who has visited the health care facility for a routine checkup. The client has recently been diagnosed with diabetes mellitus. The blood work reveals a glucose level of 140 mg/dL. a. What questions should the nurse ask when assessing the client? b. What information regarding diabetes mellitus should the nurse provide to the client?arrow_forwardPlease answer the two questions below using the information below Prognosis of condition Personal impact of this condition Diabetes is the most threatening lifestyle medical condition today that affects the people's life. 1. Signs and symptoms of such disease. Excessive urination Thirst increased Fatigue Weight loss Blurred eye vision 2. The diagnostic methods for diabetes includes the checking of the blood sample for the blood sugar concentration. This test is done in the sterile conditions in the laboratory. High sugar level in the blood confirms the diabetes. Yes genetic testing for the diagnosis of the diabetes can be done. The proper treatments implied with proper diagnosis lead to a better health for a longer period of time. This can give a essential result when the genetics is involved in this disease. The family history can be determined and thus diabetes can be diagnosed. 3. Yes,ofcourse body is highly impacted by this situation. The insulin is either not produced…arrow_forward
- Topic: Fred Davis is a 52 - year old overweight male who is complaining of tiredness and blurred vision. He says that for the last two weeks, he's been very hungry and very thirsty, but despite eating more, he has lost 8 pounds. He also mentions that he has been urinating more frequently. When asked, he mentions that his paternal grandfather suffered from heart disease and diabetes. Blood tests show blood glucose of 190 mg / dL. Question: Complications/symptoms if left untreated for the casearrow_forwardIf a type I diabetic client takes too much insulin, what clinical manifestations would alert the nurse to the fact that the client has become hypoglycemic? Question 11 options: confusion and cool, clammy skin fruity smelling breath and urinary ketones tremors of the limbs and bradycardia complaints of abdominal pain and nauseaarrow_forwardWilhelmina is Class B, insulin dependent diabetic, and is receiving prenatal care in a high-risk obstetric clinic. Her diabetes has been well controlled since her initial diagnosis. The nurse implements a teaching plan for a pregnant client who was diagnosed with diabetes mellitus. The nurse understands that the diabetic mother's metabolism is significantly altered during pregnancy as a result of: a. The increased effect of insulin during pregnancy b. An increase in the glucose tolerance level of the blood c. The effect of hormones produced in pregnancy on carbohydrate and lipid metabolism d. The lower renal threshold for glucosearrow_forward
