changing. Individuals can remain in this stage for months or years, alternating

between approaching readiness to make an effort at change and distancing

What is a diabetic client MOST likely to experience if he or she takes too much

insulin prior to an exercise session?

✓ :~~ Hypoglycemia

-Insulin causes glucose to move from the circulatory system into the working cells.

Exercise has an insulin-like effect, resulting in increased glucose uptake by the

cells as well. Therefore, if a client takes too much insulin prior to exercise, the

client would have two factors (insulin and exercise) that would be facilitating

increased glucose uptake by the cells. This will cause a drop in blood glucose,

potentially leading to low blood glucose, or hypoglycemia.

✓ :~~ Piriformis

-Tightness or spasm in the deep lateral rotators of the hip, particularly the

piriformis, can lead to hip and leg pain, since the sciatic nerve often passes

through or just inferior to the piriformis and can become irritated by a spasm in

the piriformis.
