Question 2
Ms. G is a 40-year-old diabetic who is a professional with a hectic schedule. She has difficulty controlling her blood sugar because she eats out frequently and consumes large amounts of calories from fast food.
You suspect that she also enjoys being able to overeat while continuing to lose weight. At her last three clinic visits the provider discussed the importance of good glucose control but today her blood sugar was again 320 and a dipstick for ketones in her urine was positive, a condition referred to as ketoacidosis. You explain that: 1. Uncontrolled glucose resulting in ketoacidosis is a very serious medical problem that can lead to comma or even death.

4. Ketoacidosis results when there is an over compensation of insulin by the body in response to a large consumption of complex carbohydrates.
