Diabetic Panel and Diabetes Mellitus Quiz

FBS = Fasting Blood Sugar test PPBS = Postprandial Blood Sugar test RBS = Random Blood Sugar test OGGT = Oral Glucose Tolerance test

U sugar = Testing for sugar levels in urine U protein = Detecting protein in urine U Microalbumin = Measuring small amounts of albumin in urine Ketones = Checking for ketones in urine

HBA1c = Measuring average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months Insulin = Checking the hormone that regulates glucose transport ICA (Islet Cell Antibody) = Testing for antibodies attacking insulin-producing cells C-Peptide = Measuring the amount of insulin being produced

<p>Type 1 = Autoimmune disease destroying insulin-producing beta cells Type 2 = Associated with insulin resistance and insufficient insulin production</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Gestational Diabetes = Develops during pregnancy and affects both mother and baby Prediabetes = Higher blood glucose than normal, but not considered diabetes; at risk for developing diabetes Type 2 Diabetes = Most frequently seen in overweight middle-aged and elderly individuals Other Types of Diabetes = A group of less common types caused by pancreas damage or insulin issues</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>70-99 mg/dL (3.9-5.5 mmol/L) = Normal fasting glucose 100-125 mg/dL (5.6-6.9 mmol/L) = Indicates prediabetes (impaired fasting glucose) 126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L) and above on multiple occasions = Indicates diabetes High levels of glucose = Commonly indicate diabetes but can also be caused by other diseases</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Fasting Blood Glucose (FBS) = Measures glucose level after at least 8 hours of fasting Random Blood Glucose (RBS) = Measures glucose level without fasting High levels of glucose (Hyperglycemia) = Usually indicate diabetes but can also be caused by other conditions Low level of glucose = May indicate hypoglycemia, adrenal insufficiency, severe liver disease, or insulin overdose</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Acromegaly = Causes elevated blood glucose levels Acute stress = Can cause elevated blood glucose in response to trauma, heart attack, or stroke Cushing syndrome = Can lead to elevated blood glucose levels Insulin overdose = May result in low levels of glucose</p> Signup and view all the answers
