Symptom of Type 1 & 2 diabetes
Abnormally excessive thirst
Uncommon disorder causes fluid imbalance
Primary treatment of Type 2 diabetes
Abnormally low blood glucose
Condition developing when the body can't produce insulin
Body attacks own tissues
Skin complication of hyperglycemia
Pancreas hormone that increases blood glucose
Consuming excessive amounts of food
Major nutrient that breaks down into glucose
Chronic condition of hyperglycemia
Given once daily for hyperglycemia
Dysfunction of the peripheral nerves, causes numbness/weakness
May reduce blood glucose for 48 hours
Biguanide drug class
Short-acting insulin
Includes inspection, for breaks in the skin
Production of large amounts of urine
Vascular complication of diabetes
Measures 3 month average of blood glucose
Condition of increased blood glucose
Condition where the pancreas makes little/no insulin
Measures blood glucose after a meal
