Answer to Question 1

The abnormal concentration of glucose in the blood of clients with diabetes draws water from the cells to the blood. When hyperglycemia exceeds the renal threshold, the glucose is excreted in the urine, this is known as glycosuria. With the loss of the cellular fluid, the client experiences polyuria (excessive urination), and polydipsia (excessive thirst) typically results. If this continues long term, it could damage the kidneys and lead to a complication known as nephropathy. Nephropathy is the number one leading cause for the need for kidney dialysis.

Answer to Question 2
