Step 1
It can help determine if a patient has normal glucose metabolism, prediabetes, or diabetes. A normal blood glucose range for a fasting glucose test is typically between 70-100 mg/dL (3.9-5.6 mmol/L). An abnormal blood glucose range would be higher than these Show more…

RESEARCH QUESTIONS Discuss the different types of blood glucose tests. Include the normal values. Hemoglobin A1c Normal Value: Capillary blood glucose (CBG) Normal Value: Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS) Normal Value: Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) Normal Value: Diabetes Autoantibodies Normal Value: Albumin-to-Creatinine Ratio Normal Value: Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) Normal Value: Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP) Normal Value: Glycated Serum Protein (GSP) Normal Value: How to Do Capillary Blood Glucose Monitoring? Identify the steps How the pancreas responds to low or high blood glucose levels. Explain through Illustration. REFERENCES

Question: How do levels of blood glucose fluctuate throughout the day in someone with diabetes compared to someone without diabetes? Materials: Graph Paper Procedure: Compare the following blood glucose concentration data provided for Maria and Tamika. One of these young women has diabetes. Blood glucose concentrations were monitored over 15 hours for both. Both women ate identical meals at the same times, and got equal amounts of exercise at the same times. Neither is currently taking insulin. Plot both sets of data on the same graph. A line graph is recommended. Make sure to label your graph appropriately. Observations: Event/Time Blood Glucose Concentration (mmol/L) Maria Tamika Wake up 8:00 am 4.0 10.0 1 h after breakfast 9:00 am 7.0 14.0 Pre-lunch 12:00 pm 4.5 10.0 2 h after lunch 2:00 pm 6.0 15.0 Mid-afternoon 3:00 pm 4.5 10.0 1 h after vigorous exercise 4:00 pm 4.0 4.0 Pre-supper 6:00 pm 4.5 9.0 1 h after supper 7:00 pm 6.5 18.0 Bedtime 11:00 pm 4.5 12.0
