About This Board

Sharpen recall on diabetes types, glucose thresholds, complications, insulin action and storage, and oral agents—concise, test-ready facts from Chapter 34. This is a Middle School Science review game in a Jeopardy-style format: a teacher puts the board on one screen, teams pick clues by point value, and the class answers out loud — no student devices or accounts needed. Categories: Types & Diagnosis, Signs & Complications, Insulin Basics & Handling, Oral Antidiabetic Agents, Nursing & Patient Education.

Board content

Types & Diagnosis

$100 — Autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells with no insulin secretion.
Type 1 diabetes
$200 — Insulin resistance with decreased beta cell activity, often with slower onset.
Type 2 diabetes
$300 — Abnormal glucose tolerance during pregnancy requiring reclassification postpartum.
Gestational diabetes mellitus
$400 — Fasting plasma glucose less than 100 mg/dL is classified as this.
Normal fasting glucose
$500 — FPG between 100 and 126 mg/dL indicates this condition.
Impaired fasting glucose

Signs & Complications

$100 — Nervousness, tremors, sweating, and cold clammy skin signal this condition.
Hypoglycemia
$200 — Headache, nausea, rapid pulse, and acetone breath odor suggest this state.
Hyperglycemia
$300 — Destruction of capillaries in eyes, kidneys, and peripheral tissues causes these.
Microvascular complications
$400 — Atherosclerosis of middle to large arteries leads to these.
Macrovascular complications
$500 — Stroke, myocardial infarction, and peripheral vascular disease result from these.
Macrovascular complications

Insulin Basics & Handling

$100 — This hormone’s action includes transporting glucose through the cell membrane.
Insulin
$200 — Rapid-acting insulin typically reaches its peak within this time range.
1 to 3 hours
$300 — This insulin type has no peak and lasts about 24 hours.
Long-acting insulin
$400 — An opened insulin vial kept at room temperature should be discarded after this many days.
30 days
$500 — To resuspend insulin, do this instead of shaking the vial.
Roll vial gently

Oral Antidiabetic Agents

$100 — This biguanide decreases hepatic glucose production and increases insulin sensitivity.
Metformin
$200 — Glyburide, glipizide, and glimepiride are in this class that stimulates insulin release.
Sulfonylureas
$300 — Repaglinide and nateglinide are agents in this insulin‑releasing class.
Meglitinides
$400 — Acarbose and miglitol belong to this class that inhibits sugar‑digesting enzymes.
Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors
$500 — These agents block a renal transporter to drop glucose reabsorption below 10%.
SGLT2 inhibitors

Nursing & Patient Education

$100 — Patients should check blood glucose before each meal and at this daily time.
Bedtime
$200 — Intensive therapy goals include maintaining BMI below this value.
25 kg/m2
$300 — On a consistent carbs plan, most calories should come from this macronutrient.
Carbohydrates
$400 — Before starting an exercise program, the patient should do this.
Consult prescriber
$500 — After IV radiopaque dye, metformin is held until this returns.
Normal renal function
