Due to insulin resistance.
The pancreas cannot make the additional insulin needed to support the placenta.
It permanently occurs during pregnancy
• Due to insulin resistance.

3. Micturition is stimulated by:
Bladder filling.
Segmental movement.
Rectal filling.
Mass movements.
Bladder filling.
4. Which laboratory test best predicts blood glucose control over the previous few
months?
Fasting blood glucose

5. Aron has been prescribed Lispro and other medication. Such drugs act:
, To reduce insulin resistance
To prevent the formation of glucose.
To decrease the body's need for glucose in body cells.
As an insulin replacement.
As an insulin replacement.
6. Neuropathies are a potential complication of diabetes. Why do these occur?
Thickening and ischemia of the vessels that supply the nerve fibers
Infection in the nerves
Excessive glucose exposure to the brain and spinal cord
Inability to provide continuous glucose to the brain and spinal cord
Thickening and ischemia of the vessels that supply the nerve fibers
7. The accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity, is an example of fluid loss, also
known as:
Edema
Third spacing
Blanching
Pitting edema
Third spacing

is an example of control by:
Positive feedback.
Releasing hormones.
Negative feedback.
Ectopic hormones.
Negative feedback.
