Determined by the blood volume pumped by the heart and the amount of resistance to blood flow in your arteries

Hormone molecule which uptakes glucose from the blood to be stored as energy or to be metabolized in the cells

Produced in the liver and introduced from diet. Also a component of cell membranes and precursor to steroid hormones and bile acid

This type of diabetes is where cells don't respond normally to insulin (insulin resistance).

Deposits cholesterol in the artery walls and begins atherosclerosis

device used to measure blood pressure

A device used to screen for diabetes

Picks up excess triglycerides and cholesterols in the body and takes it back into the liver for metabolism

Systolic pressure of less than 120 AND diastolic pressure of less than 80

Fasting glucose level <100 mg/dL

LDL <100 mg/dL

Systolic pressure of 130-139 OR diastolic pressure of 80-89

Random glucose value >200 mg/dL

= total cholesterol - (HDL + triglycerides/5)
