Risk for Infection Risk for Disturbed Sensory Perception Fatigue Imbalanced Nutrition Less Than Body Requirements Deficient Fluid Volume

Deficient Fluid Volume Glucose appears in the urine (glycosuria) because the kidney excretes the excess glucose to make the blood glucose level normal. Glucose excreted in the urine acts as osmotic diuretic and causes excretion of increased amount of water, resulting in fluid volume deficit or polyuria.

Imbalanced Nutrition: Less Than Body Requirements Due to decrease of lack of insulin in the body, the glucose level continuously rises because glucose cannot be utilized without the presence of insulin. Glucose is the source of energy, while insulin is the vehicle to transport glucose to the body tissues. Because of decrease insulin level in the blood stream, the cells starved, leading to alteration of metabolism. The body needs glucose for metabolism; there will be a breakdown of energy reserved from adipose tissue, muscles and liver (glucagons). This will result to weight loss. But the energy breaks down, the glucose level continuously increase because there is less amount of insulin. The body tissues need to be fed, this will lead to polyphagia and polydipsia because the tissue are not being fed and need glucose for metabolism.

Fatigue Diabetes Mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by increased levels of glucose in the blood resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. In type 2 diabetes, people have decreased sensitivity to insulin and impaired beta cell functioning resulting in decreased insulin production. Glucose derived from food cannot be stored in the liver thereby remaining into the bloodstream. The beta cells of the islets of Langerhans release glucagon which stimulates the liver to release the stored glucose. After 8 12 hours, the liver forms glucose from the breakdown of noncarboghydrate substances, including amino acids resulting to muscle wasting which results to weakness.

activity with periods of rest/ uninterrupted sleep. 5. Monitor pulse, respiration rate and blood pressure before/after activity 6. Perform activity slowly with frequent rest periods 7. Promote energy conservation techniques by discussing ways of conserving energy while bathing, transferring and so on. 8. Provide adequate ventilation 9. Provide comfort and safety 10. Instruct patient to perform deep breathing exercises 11. Instruct client to increase Vitamins A, C and D and protein in her diet. 12. Instruct also patient to increase iron in diet 13. Administer oxygen as ordered.

Tolerance develops by adjusting frequency, duration and intensity until desired activity level is achieved. 6. Interventions should be directed at delaying the onset of fatigue and optimizing muscle efficiency. 7. Symptoms of fatigue are alleviated with rest. Also, patient will be able to accomplish more with a decreased expenditure of energy. 8. For proper oxygenation 9. To be free from injury 10. Promotes relaxation 11. For muscle strength and tissue repair 12. To prevent weakness and paleness 13. To provide

Risk for Infection


Risks for infection is a increased probability of invasion of pathogenic organisms for a pt. with DM wound is possible in the furure. Clients with diabetes are susceptible to infections because of polymorphonuclear leukocyte function, diabetic neuropathies, and vascular insufficiency as a result is a poor glycemic control; thus making a wound to heal slowly because the damaged of the vascular system cannot carry sufficient oxygen, WBC, nutrients, and antibodies to the injured site. Thereby infections increase and enhance possibility of further complications.
