- - - - If left unrecognized and untreated, a low blood glucose level can
        be life threatening
  - - - is a state in which the blood glucose level is below normal
- - - - patient who is hypoglycemic will have normal or shallow to rapid
        respirations
        
        Providing high flow oxygen to altered mental status patients
        
        Circulation
        
        patient with dry and warm skin indicates hyperglycemiaa patient with moist and pale
        skin indicates hypoglycemia
- - - - small portion of the pancreas is filled with the islets of
        
        Langerhans. Within these islets are alpha and beta cells the
        
        alpha cells produce glucagon and the beta cells produce insulin
- - - - The onset of this disorder usually happens from early childhood
        
        type 1 diabetes cannot survive without insulin. Many people with
        
        type 1 diabetes have an implanted insulin pump which
        
        continuously measures the body’s glucose levels and provides
        
        an infusion of insulin
        
        Type 1 diabetes symptoms
        
        Polyuria which is increase urine production
        
        Polydipsia which is an increase in fluid consumption
        
        Polyphagia which is severe hunger or increase food intake

        Symptomatic Hypoglycemia
        
        If blood glucose remains low, unconsciousness and permanent brain damage can quickly follow
        
        can cause an insufficient amount of insulin to supply the brain
        
        is an acute emergency in which a patient’s blood glucose level
        drops

        Hemophilia
        
        Long-term joint problems, which may require a joint replacement
        
        Hemophilia A affects mostly males. Males inherit the condition from a mother who is a carrier but does not have the disease

        Sickle Cell
        
        may result in a blockage known as vasoocclusive crisis
        
        The sharp and misshapen cells lead to dysfunction in oxygen binding and unintentional clot formation
        
        also called hemoglobin S disease is an inherited blood disorder that affects the red blood cells
        
        is common among people of African, Caribbean, and South American ancestry
      - Thrombtextophilia
        
        s a disorder in the body’s ability to maintain the viscosity and
        smooth flow of blood through the veins and arteries
        
        he concentration of particular elements in the blood creates
        clogging and blocking issues
    - - the individual’s pancreas produces more insulin in an attempt to make up for the increased levels of blood glucose and dysfunction of cellular insulin receptors
        
        is caused by resistance to the effects of insulin at the cellular
        level
        
        obesity can cause increased resistance to the
        effects of insulin which
        
        is often discovered when treating the patient for a complaint
        related to high blood glucose levels
        
        eads to a nonketotic hyperosmolar state of dehydration due to
        the discharge of fluids from all of the body systems and eventually out through the kidneys causing HHNS
      - symptomatic hyperglycemia
        
        develops over time and involves all the tissues of the body
        
        occurs when blood glucose levels are very high
        
        HHNS sypmtoms
        
        Hyperglycemia
        
        Altered mental status, drowsiness, lethargy
        
        Severe dehydration, thirst, dark urine
        
        Visual or sensory deficits
