which DM terms should not be used -
correct answer ✅terms IDDM & NIDDM should not be used.
what happens to carb metabolism during insulin deficiency -
correct answer ✅glycogen is not stored; decreased uptake of
glucose by fat
and muscle cells.

occurs instead, leading
to ketone formation.
what happens to protein metabolism during insulin deficiency -
correct answer ✅decreased protein synthesis and increased
gluconeogenesis.
