(a)

Summary Introduction

To predict: The level of glucose in the blood of patient having insulin-dependent diabetes, before treatment in the emergency room, relative to levels maintained during adequate insulin treatment.

Introduction:

Insulin dependent diabetes or type 2 diabetes is a form of diabetes mellitus in which enough insulin is not produced by the body. It results in elevated blood sugar levels in the body. Glucose is a monosaccharide which is absorbed from the digestive tract. It is the energy source for the body.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The level of ketone bodies in the blood of patient having insulin-dependent diabetes, before the treatment in the emergency room, relative to levels maintained during adequate insulin treatment.

Introduction:

Insulin dependent diabetes or type 2 diabetes is a form of diabetes mellitus in which enough insulin is not produced by the body. It results in elevated blood sugar levels in the body.

Ketone bodies are synthesized from acetyl-CoA during cellular metabolism and under normal conditions these are metabolized rapidly.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The level of free fatty acids in the blood of patient having insulin-dependent diabetes before treatment in the emergency room, relative to levels maintained during adequate insulin treatment.

Introduction:

Insulin dependent diabetes or type 2 diabetes is a form of diabetes mellitus in which enough insulin is not produced by the body. It results in elevated blood sugar levels in the body.

Fats are organic molecules which are made up of three fatty acid chain and a glycerol. When fats are broken down into fatty acid and glycerol it releases acetyl-CoA which is used in the process of glycolysis to release energy.
