26
Q

May begin at puberty or between 30 and 50

diabetes mellitus (DM)

29
Q

DM type 1

31
Q

what type of diabetes?

33
Q

Pathophysiology of what?

  • Insulin deficit results in decreased transportation and use of glucose throughout the body
  • Blood glucose levels rise (hyperglycemia)
  • Excess glucose spills into the urine
  • A large volume of urine to be excreted (polyuria)
  • Dehydration occurs
  • Dehydration causes thirst (polydipsia)
  • Lack of glucose entering cells stimulates appetite (polyphagia)
A

Initial stage of diabetes

34
Q
