Study Notes
Blood Glucose
- A blood glucose test measures the amount of glucose in your blood, which comes from carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids and is the main source of energy used by the body.
- Insulin, a hormone produced in the pancreas, helps the body's cells use glucose.
Regulation of Blood Glucose Level
- When blood glucose levels rise, the pancreas releases insulin, which helps cells use glucose.
- The liver breaks down glycogen and releases glucose into the blood in response to glucagon.
- When insulin levels rise, the liver converts glucose into glycogen, and cells absorb glucose.
Main Types of Diabetes
- Type 1 Diabetes: The body doesn't produce enough insulin.
- Type 2 Diabetes: The body produces insulin, but cannot use it well.
- Gestational Diabetes: A temporary condition that occurs during pregnancy.
Effects of Abnormal Blood Glucose Levels
- High Blood Glucose Levels (Hyperglycemia): Causes damage to organs, weight loss, and fatigue.
- Low Blood Glucose Levels (Hypoglycemia): Causes sweating, hunger, anxiety, and blurred vision.
Prevention of Diabetes
- Eat a healthy diet
- Be physically active
- Avoid excessive weight gain
- Check blood glucose levels if in doubt
- Follow medical advice
Estimation of Glucose in Blood
- The standard test for measuring blood glucose levels involves mixing reagents, standard solutions, and serum samples, then incubating and measuring the intensity of color at 500 nm.
- The glucose concentration can be calculated using the absorbance assay and standard concentration.
This quiz covers the estimation of glucose in blood, specifically for anesthesia students in their first stage. Test your knowledge and understanding of this crucial concept in anesthesia.
