Hi! I

I promised I will post some materials that helped me a lot. Here is one... I read this material again on my way to the test center. And what a help! I got 8 or 10 questions on diabetes alone!

I don't know where to put them so here it is..


As most of you reading this blog know, glucose levels in the blood typically fluctuate only minor amounts between 80 and 110. This tight control is met through the balanced work of two pancreatic secretions named Insulin and Glucagon. Insulin picks up glucose from the blood and delivers it to cells in need of energy, or to the liver for storage. Glucagon senses when the level is low and frees stored glucose from its glycogen framework, into the bloodstream. However, for some this control malfunctions, and signs and symptoms begin to be seen. This imbalance is a life threatening emergency, and its recognition is vital to helping save our patients. What follows is a brief synopsis of a few glucose imbalance issues, and what we as practitioners must do about it.
