SN instructed patient the main symptoms of hyperglycemia are increased thirst and a frequent need to urinate. Other symptoms that can occur with high blood sugar
are: headaches, tiredness. Drink more water. Water helps remove excess sugar
from your blood
through urine, and it helps you avoid dehydration.

in the control solution is already known. When placed on a test strip, value should match control solution value on bottle, package of strips or package insert with your strips. Check strip - comes with some models to make sure your meter is working. It checks the meter only, not the strips.
Patient was instructed on Hyperglycemia. This disease causes high blood sugar
levels, especially in the morning before breakfast, in people with diabetes. It occurs when: Hormones produced by the body cause the liver to release large amounts of sugar
.
Patient was instructed on Hyperglycemia. Drink plenty of liquids. If the blood sugar
levels are above the target range, drink extra liquids to replace the fluids lost through the urine. Waters and diet drinks are best. Avoid caffeinated drinks, alcohol, and soda pop and other liquids that contain a lot of sugar
.
Patient was instructed on how to avoid hypoglycemia. Avoid fasting, eating irregular meals and chronic binge drinking to maintain a more constant blood sugar
level. To limit the risk of developing hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia, eat a diet that provides a slow and regular release of sugar
.
Patient was instructed on how to avoid hypoglycemia. The body can tolerate low blood sugar
, or hypoglycemia, for short periods of time. But since every cell in the body is fueled by sugar
, chronic hypoglycemia will cause the health to deteriorate.
Patient was instructed on hypoglycemia. if you have symptoms of low blood sugar
, you need to eat or drink something with sugar
in it. For example, you could eat raisins, graham crackers, or candy. You could also drink skim milk, regular (not diet) soda, or fruit juice. You may also take glucose tablets.
SN explain about congestive heart failure ( CHF ). As blood
flow out of the heart slows, blood
returning to the heart through the veins backs up, causing fluid to build up in the tissues. The kidneys are less able to dispose of sodium and water, also causing fluid retention in the tissues. Fatigue, a tired feeling all the time and difficulty with everyday activities, such as shopping, climbing stairs, carrying groceries or walking. The heart can't pump enough blood
to meet the needs of body tissues. The body diverts blood
away from less vital organs, particularly muscles in the limbs, and sends it to the heart and brain. Lack of appetite, nausea, a feeling of being full or sick to your stomach. The digestive system receives less blood
, causing problems with digestion. Confusion, impaired thinking, memory loss and feelings of disorientation. A caregiver or relative may notice this first. Changing levels of certain substances in the blood
, such as sodium, can cause confusion. If you have 2 or more of these symptoms you may need to seek medical attention.
