Q

What are three main symptoms a type 1 diabetic?

A
  • Polyuria
  • Polydipsia
  • Polyphagia
20
Q

Which of the two diabetes would you expect higher ketones?

A

Type 1

21
Q

Why is Type 2 diabetes have higher plasma glucose in type 1?

A

Because type 2 are dehydrated compared to Type 1.

22
Q

What are the three things the body is always trying to maintain? (In the proper order)

A
  • pressure
  • pH
  • Charge
23
Q

Why wouldn’t you use K+ in the equation (NA + K) - (Cl + HCO3).

A
  • K is highly susceptible to hemolysis
  • Small
  • Reference range for K is constant because its critical for keeping you alive.

What tube do you collect a HbA1c?

A

EDTA

29
Q

What clinical significance does a HbA1c have?

A

Corresponds to the life span of RBC (3 months). Measures glycosylated-hemoglobin.

30
Q

What two factors can alter a HbA1c?

A
  • Life span
  • Glucose levels
31

39
Q

what is the cause for type 2 diabetes?

A

Lifestyle

40

At what rate can a person develop type 1 and type 2 diabetes?

A

1: Sudden onset
2: Slow onset

44
Q

Which of the two diabetes is prone to hyperosmolar coma?
