Glucose Lab Values
Overview
- Glucose
- Normal Value Range
- Pathophysiology
- Special considerations
- Hyperglycemia
- Hypoglycemia
- Normal value
- 70-115 mg/dL
- Pathophysiology
- Consumed via diet
- Carbohydrates
- Glycolysis
- Creates net positive energy sources
- Insulin
- Produced in pancreas
- Required to force glucose into cell
- Deficiency in insulin causes high glucose in blood
- Increase in insulin resistance causes high glucose in blood
- Consumed via diet
- Special considerations
- Lab
- Green or gray tube
- Bedside
- CBG (Capillary blood glucose)
- Use glucometer
- Use gauze and alcohol
- Lab
- Hyperglycemia (high levels of glucose)
- Diabetes
- Absent or inefficient insulin
- Hyperglycemic Hyperosmolar Nonketotic Syndrome (HHNS)
- Stress
- Increases cortisol production
- Pancreatitis
- Disrupts insulin production
- Renal failure
- Cushing’s syndrome
- Steroid use
- Increases insulin resistance
- Diabetes
- Hypoglycemia (low levels of glucose)
- Insulinoma
- Hypothyroidism
- Hypopituitarism
- Addison’s Disease
- Insulin overdose
- Malnutrition
- Lab Values
- Glucose Metabolism
