Reagents, Reagent Strips

Reagents, Reagent Strips

Terms no longer used for diabetes blood and urine glucose or acetone test strips.

RELATED TERMS
--------------------------------------

Diabetes
A condition in which blood glucose is not well controlled. Type I diabetics make no insulin, whereas type 2 diabetics are characterized by the overproduction of insulin, but the inability of the target cells to respond to the insulin.

Blood
The life-maintaining fluid which is made up of plasma, red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets; blood circulates through the body's heart, arteries, veins, and capillaries; it carries away waste matter and carbon dioxide, and brings nourishment, electrolytes, hormones, vitamins, antibodies, heat, and oxygen to the tissues.

Urine
The waste fluid secreted by the kidneys, transported by the ureters, stored in the bladder, and voided through the urethra.

Glucose
The only simple carbohydrate that circulates in the bloodstream. Glucose is the primary fuel used by the brain. It can also be stored in the liver and muscles in a polymer form known as glycogen.

Acetone
"In the body, a chemical that is formed when the body uses fat instead of glucose (sugar) for energy. The formation of acetone means that cells lack insulin or cannot effectively use available insulin to burn glucose for energy. Acetone passes through the body into the urine as one of the so-called ketone bodies. Acetone is highly volatile. The breath of someone with a great deal of acetone in the body smells fruity and is called ""acetone breath."""

Reagin
Allergist's term for IgE antibodies.

Recruitment target
Number of subjects that must be recruited into a study to meet the requirements of the study protocol. In multicentre studies, each investigator has a recruitment target.

Rehabilitation unit
A section of a hospital dedicated to comprehensive organised programmes of inpatient rehabilitation.

Risk
In clinical trials, the probability of harm or discomfort for subjects, arising from the test product. Acceptable risk differs depending on the condition for which a product is being tested. A product for sore throat, for example, will be expected to have a low incidence of side effects. However, unpleasant side effects may be an acceptable risk when testing a promising treatment for a life-threatening illness.

R.D.
Registered Dietitian.

Reactive hypoglycemia
A fall in blood sugar which causes symptoms during the period following meals. Simply put, the body has trouble braking the secretion of insulin after a meal, resulting in the blood sugar dropping further than it should. Reactive hypoglycemia is different from spontaneous hypoglycemia, which is not assoicated with meal ingestion. Reactive hypoglycemia generally has a benign prognosis.

Reagents, Reagent Strips

Rebound
A swing to a high level of glucose (sugar) in the blood after having a low level.

Receptors
Areas on the outer part of a cell that allow the cell to join or bind with insulin that is in the blood.

Regular Insulin
A type of insulin that is fast acting.

Repaglinide (Prandin)
A drug used as a treatment for Type 2 (noninsulin-dependent) diabetes; belongs to a class of drugs called meglitinides.

Renal Glycosuria
Glycosuria occurring when there is a normal amount of sugar in the blood, due to an inherited inability of the kidneys to reabsorb glucose completely.
