Title: When a newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus patient asks the nurse why she h Post by: nurse2mrow on Sep 16, 2014 When a newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus patient asks the nurse why she has to take a pill instead of insulin, you reply that in type 2 diabetes, the body makes insulin but:
1. overweight and underactive people simply cannot use the insulin produced. 2. metabolism is slowed in some people so they have to take a pill to speed up their metabolism. 3. sometimes the autoimmune system works against the action of the insulin. 4. the cells become resistant to the action of insulin. Pills are given to increase the sensitivity. This is for my medical nursing class Title: Re: When a newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus patient asks the nurse why she h Post by: biology101 on Sep 18, 2014 Content hidden
