About This Quiz


How well do you know what diabetes is? For this quiz, you will have to understand what GIP and GLP-1 are, does ADA have the final say whether you can get tested for diabetes, what gluconeogenesis is, the position of insulin in the body, and what epinephrine is, and if it affect glycogenolysis. This quiz will go more in-depth about diabetes and what it does to the human body.
