Nursing Care of the Adult with Diabetes Mellitus
Across
- 6. method of capillary blood glucose testing
- 9. long-term complication of diabetes in which the kidney cells are damaged; characterized by microalbuminuria in early stages and progressing to end-stage kidney disease
- 12. condition that occurs when the small blood vessels that nourish the retina in the eye are damaged
- 15. metabolic disorder characterized by an absence of insulin production and secretion from autoimmune destruction of beta cells of the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas
- 16. metabolic disorder characterized by the relative deficiency of insulin production and a decreased insulin action and increased insulin resistance
- 17. low blood glucose level
- 18. impaired glucose metabolism in which blood glucose concentrations fall between normal levels and those considered diagnostic for diabetes
- 19. metabolic derangement that results from a deficiency of insulin; highly acidic ketone bodies are formed, resulting in acidosis
- 20. metabolic stage intermediate between normal glucose homeostasis and diabetes; prediabetes
Down
- 1. metabolic disorder resulting from a relative insulin deficiency initiated by an illness that raises the demand of insulin
- 2. subtype of diabetes
- 3. measure of glucose control that is a result of glucose molecule attaching to hemoglobin for the life of the red blood cell
- 4. any degree of glucose intolerance with its onset during pregnancy
- 5. nutritional therapy prescribed for management of diabetes that usually is given by a registered dietitian
- 7. hormone secreted by the beta cells of the islets of Langerhans of the pancreas that is necessary for the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats; deficiency of insulin results in diabetes
- 8. a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both
- 10. blood glucose determination obtained in the laboratory after fasting for at least 8 hours
- 11. low blood glucose level
- 13. amount a given food increases the blood glucose level compared with an equivalent amount of glucose
- 14. highly acidic substance formed when the liver breaks down free fatty acids in the absence of insulin
