Question: 1 / 400

Which term is associated with hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes, where dehydration occurs due to some insulin production and limited ketone build-up?

modified anaphylaxis

modified trendelenburg

The correct term associated with hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes, characterized by dehydration due to some insulin production and limited ketone build-up, is not modified Trendelenburg. The condition you're referring to is known as Hyperglycemic Hyperosmolar State (HHS), which typically occurs in patients with type 2 diabetes. During HHS, the body produces insulin, which prevents the full breakdown of fats into ketones, leading to a milder form of metabolic derangement compared to diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).

The other terms listed do not relate to the context of hyperglycemia or diabetes. Modified anaphylaxis would pertain to allergic reactions, moderated asthma does not connect to blood glucose issues, and standardized diabetes is not a recognized medical term. Understanding HHS is crucial for managing patients with type 2 diabetes who experience significant hyperglycemia and dehydration without significant ketone formation.
