low HDL levels, and high fasting levels of blood sugar) that are linked to increased risk
of CAD, stroke, and DM2.
Onset ✅The time the insulin begins to lower blood glucose
counterregulatory hormones ✅Hormoes that trigger the use of glycogen
Lipodistrophy ✅caused when inj. are commonly inj. in the same spot and fibrous tissue
develops so drug absorption decreases because it is being injected into fibrous tissue
therefore like with insulin, you must administer in a new spot each time.
Novolin R ✅short acting insulin
Exercise ✅This can lower blood glucose levels
Glucagon ✅A protein hormone secreted by pancreatic endocrine cells that raises
blood glucose levels; an antagonistic hormone to insulin.
Gluconeogenesis ✅The formation of glucose from noncarbohydrate sources, such as
lipids and proteins.
Novolin N ✅intermediate acting insulin
insulin resistance ✅the inability of the cells to respond to insulin effectively
Novolog ✅insulin aspart, rapid acting
Hypoglycemia ✅abnormally low level of sugar in the blood, <70
<50 will have neurological effects

causes of hyperglycemia ✅too much food, ill, too little insulin, decreased activity,
infection, stress
Treatment for hyperglycemia ✅IV fluids, insulin, potassium
