- Type 2
- Insensitivity of cells to insulin
signaling. Developes from long
term environmental factors
such as, a sedentary lifestyle,
and being overweight/obese.
- Treatment: Exercise and
dietary changes to promote
weight loss, medications,
and hormone therapy,

- Gestational
- Insensitivity of cells to insulin
signaling during pregnancy occurs
when the normal insulin resistance
that occurs in pregnancy becomes
excessive and leads to
hyperglycemia in the mother.
- Treatment: Blood glucose
monitoring, dietary changes,
exercise, weight gain limitations,
and cesarian delivery

- Types of Insulin: - Rapid acting - short
acting - intermediate acting - long
acting
- IV (only administered in
emergencies), intermittent
subcutaneous injection, or
by continuous infusion
pump

pump
- Treatment for hypoglycemia: Consume 15-20
grams of glucose or simple carbohydrates.
Recheck your blood glucose after 15 minutes.
If hypoglycemia continues, repeat. Once
blood glucose returns to normal, eat a small
snack if your next planned meal or snack is
more than an hour or two away.
