A patient with diabetes is admitted to the hospital. How should the nursing care be managed to ensure proper glucose control and prevent complications?

If an individual is exercising at a low intensity for several hours, how would the concentrations of substrates change in plasma?   Plasma levels of free fatty acids would increase as triglycerides are broken down for sustained energy.   They remain stable and unaffected by exercise.   Plasma glucose levels would gradually increase the longer exercise continues.   Plasma levels of amino acids would increase, as protein breakdown would be needed to fuel continued exercise

Identify the four mechanisms involved in maintaining the blood glucose concentration.

Describe good sources of the nutrient ((lipids)fat)and/or any tips on proper consumption of the nutrient.
