Book Description
The result of insufficient action of insulin is an increase in blood glucose concentration (hyperglycaemia). Many other metabolic abnormalities occur, notably an increase in ketone bodies in the blood when there is a severe lack of insulin. False results may also occur if the patient has been ill recently or has had prolonged bed rest. Gestational diabetes This term embraces the criteria for both diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance when discovered during pregnancy (see page 80). Glucose tolerance tests may also show: Renal glycosuria?this occurs when there is glycosuria but normal blood glucose concentrations; this is a benign condition, only rarely indicating unusual forms of renal disease. Patients are managed at the discretion of the physician.
