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: Diabetes Basics & Classification, Glucose Levels & Complications, Insulin Therapy & Handling, Oral Antidiabetic Drug Classes, Nursing Care & Glycemic Events.

Board content
Diabetes Basics & Classification
- $100 — A group of diseases marked by hyperglycemia and metabolic abnormalities.
- Diabetes mellitus
- $200 — Autoimmune beta-cell destruction with no pancreatic insulin secretion and early onset.
- Type 1 diabetes
- $300 — The 90–95% form characterized by insulin resistance and decreased beta-cell activity.
- Type 2 diabetes
- $400 — Abnormal glucose tolerance during pregnancy that must be reclassified after delivery.
- Gestational diabetes mellitus
- $500 — These three classic symptoms often mark the onset of type 1 diabetes.
- Polydipsia, polyphagia, polyuria
Glucose Levels & Complications
- $100 — Fasting plasma glucose under 100 mg/dL indicates this status.
- Normal fasting glucose
- $200 — An FPG of 100–125 mg/dL is termed this.
- Impaired fasting glucose
- $300 — A 2-hour FPG of 140–199 mg/dL signals this condition.
- Impaired glucose tolerance
- $400 — A microvascular eye complication in diabetes that can cause blindness.
- Retinopathy
- $500 — A macrovascular complication listed alongside stroke and myocardial infarction.
- Peripheral vascular disease
Insulin Therapy & Handling
- $100 — This hormone transports glucose through the cell membrane.
- Insulin
- $200 — Approximate onset time for rapid-acting insulin.
- 10 minutes
- $300 — The peak profile characteristic of long-acting insulin.
- No peak
- $400 — Opened insulin at room temperature should be discarded after this many days.
- 30 days
- $500 — Before administering insulin, nurses confirm this about the patient’s movement plans.
- Anticipated activity level
Oral Antidiabetic Drug Classes
- $100 — This biguanide decreases hepatic glucose production and increases insulin sensitivity.
- Metformin
- $200 — These agents stimulate insulin release and may cross-react in sulfonamide-allergic patients.
- Sulfonylureas
- $300 — Repaglinide and nateglinide belong to this class.
- Meglitinides
- $400 — These inhibitors block enzymes like pancreatic alpha amylase to slow carbohydrate digestion.
- Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors
- $500 — These agents block SGLT2 to reduce glucose reabsorption and can cause GU infections.
- SGLT2 inhibitors
Nursing Care & Glycemic Events
- $100 — Patients should check this before each meal and at bedtime.
- Blood glucose
- $200 — A simple carry-along remedy taught for sudden hypoglycemia.
- Hard candy
- $300 — Sweating, tremors, nervousness, and cold clammy skin point to this state.
- Hypoglycemia
- $400 — Headache, abdominal pain, rapid shallow respirations, and acetone breath suggest this.
- Hyperglycemia
- $500 — Metformin should be held around procedures using these IV agents due to renal risk.
- Radiopaque dyes
