T/F: Most hormones are controlled through positive feedback. false (negative feedback) Type 2 diabetics can improve hyperglycemia with weight loss. true Diabetes can be diagnosed by a fasting blood sugar, 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test, or hemoglobin A1C. true A 45-year-old obese, sedentary male has recently been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. What are 2 strategies to help him normalize his blood sugars? List 2 other macrovascular complications he is at risk for and how you would screen for them? (1) Diet, exercise, and weight loss may be all that they need to control blood glucose levels. Even moderate weight loss of 5-10% of total body weight has been shown to improve glucose control. (2) Hypertension and hyperlipidemia - checking blood pressure and screening with a serum lipid panel. Why are foot ulcers such a big problem with diabetics? vascular damage, decreased sensation from diabetic neuropathy, poor wound healing, increased risk of bacterial infections from hyperglycemia. If foot wounds are left untreated, they could become infected, gangrenous, necrotic, and eventually require amputation of toes, feet, the lower leg, or entire extremity. The following are each diagnostic of hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS) EXCEPT: ketoacidosis Which drug therapy for diabetes does not cause hypoglycemia and has a side effect of weight loss, making it a popular oral antidiabetic treatment? biguanides (metformin) People with diabetes should be followed closely by their health care provider to monitor glycemic control and be screened regularly for complications. List 5 ways they should be screened: Your Answer: Checking weight, blood pressure, fasting blood glucose and hemoglobin A1C, lipid profile, serum creatinine, microalbumin, foot exam, dilated eye exams, and dental exam. Normal fasting blood sugars in people without diabetes are between _____. 70 - 100 mg/dL An early detection of diabetic nephropathy is through the ____ ____ test. urine microalbumin ____ ____ is the leading cause of blindness and vision loss in the US. diabetic retinopathy ____ is an oral antidiabetic drug that does not cause hypoglycemia and has a side effect of weight loss.
