Diabetes Mellitus
Blood glucose alterations
Monitor: vitals, BG levels, I&O
& weight, skin integrity and
healing status of wounds,
sensory alterations, dietary
practice, exercise patterns.
Self-monitored blood glucose: is essential
to management of diabetes.
Measurements should be checked at a
minimum before meals and at bedtime.
8-hr fasting blood glucose level of 126 mg/dL
or greater. *Random blood glucose of 200
mg/dL or greater. *Oral glucose tolerance test
of 200 mg/dL or greater. *Glycosylated
hemoglobin (HbA1C)
Partial or complete metabolic deficiency of
insulin by destruction of pancreatic beta
cells for Type 1, Type 2 arises when the
body fails to use insulin properly.
Hypoglycemia: <60mg/dL
Hyperglycemia: >250mg/dL
Routinely checking of BG levels.
Exercise regimen, Diet pattern.
Genetics can predispose a person to type 1 or
2. *Toxins and viruses can predispose an
individual to diabetes leading to type 1.
*Obesity, physical inactivity, triglycerides
greater than 250 mg/dL, and hypertension can
lead to insulin resistance

life-threatening
condition
characterized by

(glucose
>330mg/dL),
ketonemia,
glycosuria,
