Sandy has insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Sandy has an accident on his bike and breaks his arm. Would his insulin dosage change?
What will be an ideal response?
Sandy will need increased levels of insulin. Insulin will promote the necessary healing by supporting anabolic
reactions needed for regrowth of the bone. Students will learn in chapter 23 that prolonged stress (rather than the
stress just at the time of the accident) will lead to increased blood glucose levels due to increased cortisol secretion,
hence additional insulin will be needed to compensate for this as well.
