Title: A client with diabetes asks the nurse why his blood glucose level is higher on days when he sleeps ... Post by: ccddhh on Jan 18, 2018 A client with diabetes asks the nurse why his blood glucose level is higher on days when he sleeps less. What should the nurse explain to the client?
1. During sleep, the hormone cortisol is inhibited. If sleep is interrupted, cortisol levels will remain elevated, impacting blood glucose. 2. Because the client is awake more, it is likely the client is eating more, which is impacting the blood glucose level. 3. There is no relationship between sleep and blood glucose levels. 4. The body needs cortisol for the extra energy created by the lack of sleep. Title: A client with diabetes asks the nurse why his blood glucose level is higher on days when he sleeps ...
