CC was taken to hospital breathing but unresponsive after two days of heavy alcohol consumption and limited food intake. According to CC's past medical history they had a history of chronic alcohol addiction and fatty liver disease. Analysis of CC's serum glucose returned a value of < 20 mg/dL, indicating severe hypoglycemia. The attending physician prescribed a bolus of D-glucose to help re-establish CC's blood glucose to within normal bounds. Analysis of the CC's serum electrolytes and PaCCh was suggestive of metabolic acidosis. Analysis of CC's blood suggested metabolic acidosis. In CC's case, what can cause metabolic acidosis?

CC was taken to hospital breathing but unresponsive after two days of heavy alcohol consumption and limited food intake. According to CC's past medical history they had a history of chronic alcohol addiction and fatty liver disease. Analysis of CC's serum glucose returned a value of < 20 mg/dL, indicating severe hypoglycemia. The attending physician prescribed a bolus of D-glucose to help re-establish CC's blood glucose to within normal bounds. Analysis of the CC's serum electrolytes and PaCO2 was suggestive of metabolic acidosis. Q1: Which of the following metabolites may be used to produce blood glucose during prolonged fasting?
Mr. North is 62 years of age and has recently been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. Define Type 2 diabetes (Diabetes Mellitus) and list two facts about it not found in the book. What lifestyle changes are required to assist a resident with blood sugar control? Explain at least three common future complications of this condition.
In addition to symptoms of diabetes, which of the following correctly identifies criteria used to diagnose diabetes (select all that apply) O Random plasma glucose concentration > 200 mg/dL. O Fasting plasma glucose > 100 mg/dL. O 2-Hour glucose > 180 mg/dL during a 2 hour post prandial glucose test O Hemoglobin A1C > 6.5%
A person is suspected with diabetes mellitus. He checks his blood glucose level by gluceose oxidase method. After the experiment, OD of his blood sample was obtained as 0.08. Based on the glucose standard curve seen in the virtual lab, calculate his blood glucose level. Is he had diabetes mellitus? (Note: Normal blood glucose level in our body is 70-110mg/dl).
JH was diagnosed with hyperkalemia and ordered IV fluids. The IV fluids she was given contained calcium gluconate and insulin. Her potassium levels were monitored over a 24-hour period and were as summarized in Table 2. Table 2. JH potassium concentrations post-IV fluids (blood). Time (hours) Measured plasma K+ (in mM) 0 8.0 3 7.1 6 6.4 9 5.9 12 5.6 15 5.3 18 5.1 21 5.0 24 5.0 Using Table 2, which shows the patient’s plasma K+ concentrations over a 24-hour period, graph the changes of K+ over time. Make sure to include an appropriate figure caption to explain what you have observed and follow scientific best practices for creating your graph. Based on the data provided to you within this case, postulate as to why JH experienced more cardiac vs neuronal symptoms.
A 58-year women is unconscious and was taken to the nearest emergency room from her work place. Her blood glucose: 50 mg/dL. Her son explains that she was taking a new medication prescribed 3 week ago (once a day during breakfast) prescribed for her Type 2 diabetes. If this is a drug that commonly can cause hypoglycemia give your opinion to which class of drugs it may belong.
Jesse comes to the medical office for pre-lunch check blood glucose of 210 MG/DL. lunch = 59 g, ISF = 1: 60 target of 120 mg/dL I:C =1:30. how much insulin should you administer using carb coverage and correction dose using ISF?
Which of the following fasting blood glucose results would be considered normal? 76 mg/dl 126 mg/dl 54 mg/dl 102 mg/dl
Briefly outline the effects of the hormones insulin and glucagon on blood glucose levels, listing 2 metabolic actions that contribute to these effect.
Charles is a diabetic with Alzheimer's disease and often forgets whether he has injected insulin or not. He is in the emergency room today because of heart abnormalities and is found to have hyperinsulinemia. You would also expect his blood analysis to show: hyperkalemia hypokalemia
Explain the physiological mechanisms involved in blood glucose concentration regulation trying to prevent hypoglycemia which is especially dangerous for brain function.
