Question

Administration of food or fluid high in sugar content and administration of glucagon is the treatment for which diabetic emergency condition _______________.

1) Hyperglycemia
2) Hyperosmolar hyperglycemic nonketotic syndrome
3) Insulin reaction
4) Ketoacidosis

Answer 1

Administration of sugar and glucagon is a treatment for Insulin reaction (Hypoglycemia), which is a diabetic emergency condition marked by too much insulin causing low blood sugar levels.

Step-by-step explanation:

The treatment for the diabetic emergency condition involving the administration of food or fluid high in sugar content and the administration of glucagon is for Insulin reaction (Hypoglycemia), which is option (3). This condition occurs when there is an excess of insulin in the body, leading to a rapid decrease in blood glucose levels. To counteract hypoglycemia, quickly raising blood glucose is crucial, and that can be achieved by consuming sugar-rich food or drinks. If the hypoglycemia is severe or the individual is unable to ingest sugar, glucagon can be administered as it stimulates the release of glucose from liver stores into the blood.
