A patient with undiagnosed type 1 diabetes is unable to use her blood glucose, her body goes into “starvation mode” releasing glucagon. Explain which pathways (and the key enzymes), glucagon promotes to try to compensate for her inability to use blood glucose?
As glucose is present but due to insulin deficiency patient is unable tp consume it. To compensate it glucagon is released. Glucagon activtes glycogen phosphorylase and start glycogen breakdown in liver. In muscles glucagon activase lipases which shifts muscles to use fatty acids as metabolic fuel and fatty acids oxidised to provide energy.

A patient admitted with type 2 diabetes asks the nurse what “type 2” means. What is the most appropriate response by the nurse? “With type 2 diabetes, the body of the pancreas becomes inflamed.” “With type 2 diabetes, the patient is totally dependent on an outside source of insulin.” “With type 2 diabetes, insulin secretion is decreased, and insulin resistance is increased.” “With type 2 diabetes, the body produces autoantibodies that destroy β-cells in the pancreas.” 2. The nurse caring...
ST, a 32-year-old patient was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus after the birth of her first child; her blood sugar was 180 mg/dL. Her serum glucose level has been maintained within the normal range with metformin 500 mg/day. Why is ST taking an oral antidiabetic medication rather than insulin? When should metformin not be taken? Why was metformin discontinued and insulin prescribed? What is NPH insulin and how should NPH insulin be administered? What should be included in patient...

Role of the Pancreas Key: pancreas glucagon endocrine insulin exocrine Type II diabetes Type I diabetes ________________ is gland located under the stomach that produces insulin and glucagon The pancreas has an _______________ function to secrete sodium bicarbonate and digestive enzymes and also an ________________function to secrete insulin and glucagon hormones _____________ is the only hormone that causes blood sugar levels to lower as it signals cells to take up glucose for their energy source and signals the liver...
1. A patient presents in your surgery with an inability to maintain blood sugar levels in long periods (20 hours) between meals. Tests show that glucose is converted to lactate normally in liver in the well-fed state, and that pyruvate carboxylase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase have normal activities in liver in periods between meals. Your colleague reminds you that glucagon stimulates glycogen degradation, so you administer glucagon to the patient (who was well fed prior to the test) and find that...
Case Study num22 please answer 1-6 Diabetes Mellitus Diabetes mellitus is a common chronic disease, and every health professional will need to understand how it works and identify common emergency situations related to it. But an equally important part of the health professional's role is patient education and explaining what happens in the disease process. After they go home, diabetes patients will have to manage this complex disease every day. You are working in the free clinic when Father X...
