2. Diabetic ketoacidosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetic_ketoacidosis

   The main aim in the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis is to replace the lost fluids and electrolytes while suppressing the high blood sugars and ketone production with insulin. Admission to an intensive care unit (ICU) or similar high-dependency area or ward for close observation may be necessary.

3. Fluorescent glucose biosensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescent_glucose_biosensor

   As a consequence, in conjunction with insulin administrations, the prime requirement for diabetic patients is to regularly monitor their blood glucose levels. [2] The monitoring systems currently in general use have the drawback of below optimal number of readings, due to their reliance on a drop of fresh blood. Some continuous glucose monitors ...

4. Ketoacidosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketoacidosis

   Blood tests for the diagnosis of diabetic ketoacidosis measure glycemia (sugar level), pH (blood acidity), and ketone bodies. As urgent medical treatment is often required when DKA is suspected, the tentative diagnosis can be made based on clinical history and by calculating the anion gap from the basic metabolic panel , which would demonstrate ...

5. Ketosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketosis

   Ketosis is a metabolic state characterized by elevated levels of ketone bodies in the blood or urine. Physiological ketosis is a normal response to low glucose availability. . In physiological ketosis, ketones in the blood are elevated above baseline levels, but the body's acid–base homeostasis is maintain

6. Ketosis-prone diabetes - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketosis-prone_diabetes

   Type 2 diabetes is different in that it is usually caused by insulin resistance in the body in older patients leading to beta cell burnout over time, and is not prone to DKA. KPD is a condition that involves DKA like type 1, but occurs later in life and can regain beta cell function like type 2 diabetes.

7. Noninvasive glucose monitor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noninvasive_glucose_monitor

   Noninvasive glucose monitoring (NIGM), called Noninvasive continuous glucose monitoring when used as a CGM technique, is the measurement of blood glucose levels, required by people with diabetes to prevent both chronic and acute complications from the disease, without drawing blood, puncturing the skin, or causing pain or trauma. The search for ...
