Polyuria |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Urinating |frequently
Type |2 |diabetes |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-90-95% |of |patients |with |diabetes
Characterized |by:
Decrease |in |beta |cell |activity |(insulin |deficiency)
Insulin |resistance
Increased |liver |production |of |glucose
Many |patients |have |metabolic |syndrome
Slower |symptom |onset, |at |older |age |at |onset
Supplemental |insulin |or |oral |antidiabetic |drugs |prescribed |
Older |aged |patients
Patients |tend |to |be |overweight
,Gestational |diabetes |mellitus |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Happens |when |you're |pregnant
Abnormal |glucose |tolerance |during |pregnancy
4% |of |all |pregnancies
Must |be |reclassified |if |it |persists |6 |weeks |postdelivery
Hemoglobin |A1C |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Test |of |the |average |glucose |over |3- |month |time |
span. |Can |measure |overall |response |to |insulin |therapy

Prevent |excessive |postprandial |hyperglycemia |
Prevent |hypoglycemia
Maintain |normal |weight
Reduce |elevated |cholesterol |and |triglyceride |levels
