GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Insulin. Insulin is the oldest of the currently available medications and, therefore, the treatment with which we have the most clinical experience. It is also the most effective at lowering glycemia. Insulin can, when used in adequate doses, decrease any level of elevated A1C to, or close to, the therapeutic goal.

Detailed explanation-2: -Insulin, given either intravenously or subcutaneously, is the preferred regimen for effectively treating hyperglycemia in the hospital. The use of oral antidiabetic agents should be avoided in the hospital setting because no data are available on their safety and efficacy in the inpatient setting.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hyperglycemia is the technical term for high blood glucose (blood sugar). High blood glucose happens when the body has too little insulin or when the body can’t use insulin properly.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hypoglycemia is considered severe if you need help from someone to recover. For example, if you can’t eat, you might need a glucagon injection or intravenous glucose. In general, people with diabetes who are treated with insulin should have a glucagon kit for emergencies.

Detailed explanation-5: -Hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) is the hallmark of diabetes onset, and it usually continues to occur on and off after you start treatment. On the other hand, hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) occurs as the result of diabetes treatment, particularly insulin administration.
