Why blood sugar be dropped slowly in pediatric ketoacidocis patient?
A pediatric diabetic ketoacidosis patient has high blood glucose concentrations after taking a meal and this wil drop very slowly because the cells who produce insulin (the beta-cells of the pancreas) don't produce enough insulin. Insuline acts on the liver and other organs( this will decrease the blood glucose concentration).
What will most likely result if a diabetic an overdose of insulin?
a dangerous drop in blood sugar levels
How is a glucose curve performed on a diabetic dog?
A blood glucose curve is performed on a dog by measuring the blood glucose early in the morning, then feeding the dog and administering insulin. The blood glucose is then measured every 2 hours. If the dog is recieving insulin twice a day, a 12 hour curve will be performed. If the dog is recieving insulin once a day, a 24 hour curve will be used. Ideally, the curve will gradually drop after the administration of insulin and then rise close to the original height before the next dose.
What happens when you do not eat for a day to your blood sugar level?
Blood glucose levels will drop without proper nutrition. Missing meals/ abstaining from eating will cause the body's metabolism to drop, which slows the body down, & can cause insulin levels to go out of balance, as well. If one's blood-sugar level drops too far, insulin shock can result.
Can a diabetic die from injecting too much insulin?
Yes, it is possible for anyone to die if they inject too much insulin. What will occur is something called insulin shock. Their blood glucose will drop and they can go into a coma. In extreme cases this can be followed by death.
When blood glucose levels decrease what reserves are tapped?
When blood glucose levels drop, it is vital for the body to help stabilize them prevent fainting. The body will take fat reserves and convert them to glucose to do this.
Is it dangerous taking the medicaton if you are not diabetes?
If you are not diabetic (i.e. being prone to high blood sugar levels) and you take diabetic meds, your blood sugar can drop. This can lead to coma & death. It is equivalent to over-dosing on insulin.
What is the hormone that signals the release of glucose out of storage?
When blood glucose levels drop, the pancreas releases the hormone glucagon, which signals the liver to release glucose into the bloodstream.
WHAT HAPPENS IF GIVEN INSULIN AND YOU ARE NOT DIABETIC?
That would be a rare instance and only for your doctor to decide. There have been cases of a very mild diabetes controlled by doing regular exercise but again this is very unusual. Not taking diabetes medication when needed is a serious hazard to your health.

no
Does having food on your finger affect your blood glucose?
Yes it will affect the reading you get (not your actual blood glucose). If you have food (especially sugary food) on your finger where you take the drop of blood from, then the sugar from the food will mix with the blood and give a false reading. This is why it is important to wash the finger before testing blood glucose.
