HTH 100 EXAM 4 (SMITH) WITH COMPLETE QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS NEWEST RATED A+
What is diabetes? - Ans Disease where body is unable to produce enough insulin.
What is hyperglycemia? - Ans high blood glucose levels
What is the stored form of glucose? - Ans Glycogen (stored in the liver and muscle)
What is glucose? - Ans Glucose is a simple sugar that is readily absorbed by the bloodstream.
What does glucose do? - Ans Provides energy
What is type 2 diabetes? - Ans -90% of cases
-non-insulin dependent
-insulin resistance ↓ beta cell responsiveness (80% of patients)
-***↑ resistance w/ obesity (+risk factor)
- + genetic susceptibility
- ↓ number of beta cells in pancreas
What is type 1 diabetes? - Ans Where the pancreas produces little to no insulin - insulin
dependent
Non-modifiable risk factors for type 2 diabetes - Ans Increased age
Certain ethnicities (Native Americans and African Americans)
Genetic factors
, Biological factors
Modifiable risk factors of type 2 diabetes - Ans Obesity (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2).
Physical inactivity.
Dyslipidemia (HDL ≤ 35 mg/dL & TG ≥ 250 mg/dL).
Hypertension (>140/90 mmHg), Sleep patterns, Dietary choices, Levels of stress.
What is pre-diabetes? - Ans When blood glucose levels that are higher than normal but not yet
high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes.
What is gestational diabetes? - Ans Abnormal blood glucose maintenance during pregnancy,
occurs in 18 percent of all pregnancies, women that develop this have between 40 and 50
percent chance of progressing to type 2 diabetes, increased risk of birth-related complications
(such as difficult labor, high bp, high blood acidity, increased infections, or even death).
What are symptoms of diabetes? - Ans High blood glucose level;
Need to urinate excessively;
Increased thirst and hunger;
Tiredness, Nerve damage, Poor wound healing and increased infections.
Complications of diabetes - Ans Damage to heart and blood vessels, kidneys, eyes, and nerves
What is fasting plasma glucose test? - Ans Measuring blood glucose after an overnight fast
What is oral glucose tolerance test? - Ans Drink sugary fluid and monitor blood sugar over 2
hour period every 30 minutes
