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.

Show answer
Type 1 diabetes
+4 more clues in this category
Nervousness, tremors, sweating, and cold clammy skin signal this condition.
Show answer

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
