  • 2. 

    Type 2 diabetes is a disease in which your pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or your body does not properly use the insulin it makes.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition where the pancreas either does not produce enough insulin or the body becomes resistant to the insulin it produces. Insulin is a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels. Without enough insulin or the inability to use it effectively, blood sugar levels can become elevated, leading to various health complications. Therefore, the statement that type 2 diabetes is a disease in which the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or the body does not properly use it is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    What do you think causes diabetes?

    • Eating too much sugar

    • High blood glucose levels caused by too much glucose in the blood

    • Catching it from someone else

    Correct Answer
    A. High blood glucose levels caused by too much glucose in the blood
    Explanation
    High blood glucose levels caused by too much glucose in the blood is the correct answer because diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood sugar levels. When there is an excessive amount of glucose in the bloodstream, it can lead to the development of diabetes. This can occur due to various factors such as insulin resistance, inadequate insulin production, or a combination of both. Eating too much sugar can contribute to the development of diabetes, but it is not the sole cause. Additionally, diabetes is not contagious and cannot be caught from someone else.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Children get type1 diabetes – is this TRUE or FALSE?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Children can indeed develop type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease where the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. It can occur at any age, but it is most commonly diagnosed in children and young adults. The exact cause of type 1 diabetes is unknown, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Therefore, it is true that children can get type 1 diabetes.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    If children get type1 diabetes, how do they get it?

    • Having too many sweets and soft drinks

    • A virus or environmental factor

    • Not doing enough exercise

    Correct Answer
    A. A virus or environmental factor
    Explanation
    Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease where the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. It is not caused by excessive consumption of sweets or lack of exercise. Instead, it is believed to be triggered by a combination of genetic factors and exposure to certain viruses or environmental factors. These factors can lead to the development of type 1 diabetes in children.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Ideally, how often should people with diabetes exercise?

    • Every day

    • Once a week

    • Once a fortnight

    • Five days per week

    Correct Answer
    A. Every day
    Explanation
    People with diabetes should ideally exercise every day. Regular exercise helps to control blood sugar levels, improve insulin sensitivity, and manage weight. It also helps to reduce the risk of complications related to diabetes, such as heart disease and nerve damage. By exercising daily, individuals with diabetes can maintain better overall health and manage their condition effectively.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Will diabetes go away?

    • Diabetes will go away if it’s well managed

    • If blood glucose levels are in the non-diabetic range most of the time

    • Currently, there is no cure for diabetes

    Correct Answer
    A. Currently, there is no cure for diabetes
    Explanation
    Currently, there is no cure for diabetes. This means that once someone is diagnosed with diabetes, they will have it for the rest of their life. While diabetes can be managed through medication, lifestyle changes, and monitoring blood glucose levels, it cannot be completely eliminated. Therefore, the statement "Diabetes will go away if it's well managed" is incorrect.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    How do you think diabetes is best managed? (This question may have more than one correct answer )

    • Eating healthily, taking regular exercise and prescribed medication

    • Losing weight (if you need to) and maintaining a healthy weight

    • Regularly testing your blood glucose levels

    • Never eating sugar

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Eating healthily, taking regular exercise and prescribed medication
    A. Losing weight (if you need to) and maintaining a healthy weight
    A. Regularly testing your blood glucose levels
    Explanation
    Managing diabetes involves a combination of healthy eating, regular exercise, and taking prescribed medication. This helps to control blood sugar levels and prevent complications. Additionally, maintaining a healthy weight and regularly testing blood glucose levels are important for managing diabetes effectively. Avoiding sugar completely is not necessary, as moderation and balance are key in a healthy diabetes management plan.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    What type of food raises blood glucose levels? (This question may have more than one correct answer )

    • Pasta, rice and noodles

    • Bread and crackers

    • Cakes and biscuits

    • Fish

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Pasta, rice and noodles
    A. Bread and crackers
    A. Cakes and biscuits
    Explanation
    Pasta, rice, noodles, bread, crackers, cakes, and biscuits are all types of carbohydrates that can raise blood glucose levels. When these foods are digested, they are broken down into glucose, which enters the bloodstream and increases blood sugar levels. Fish, on the other hand, is a lean protein and does not significantly raise blood glucose levels.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    The management of type 1 diabetes can be managed by: (This question may have more than one correct answer )

    • Taking daily insulin doses by injection or insulin pump

    • Eating healthy meals and snacks and regular physical activity

    • Regular monitoring of your blood glucose levels

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Taking daily insulin doses by injection or insulin pump
    A. Eating healthy meals and snacks and regular physical activity
    A. Regular monitoring of your blood glucose levels
    Explanation
    The management of type 1 diabetes requires a combination of daily insulin doses, healthy eating habits, regular physical activity, and monitoring blood glucose levels. Insulin is necessary to regulate blood sugar levels, while a balanced diet and exercise help to maintain overall health and manage blood sugar levels. Regular monitoring of blood glucose levels allows individuals to make necessary adjustments to their insulin doses or lifestyle choices to keep their diabetes under control.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    Blood glucose levels respond to food, particularly carbohydrates. What other things can affect blood glucose levels? (This question may have more than one correct answer )  

    • Physical activity

    • Stress

    • Illness

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Physical activity
    A. Stress
    A. Illness
    Explanation
    Physical activity, stress, and illness can all affect blood glucose levels. Physical activity can cause blood glucose levels to decrease as the body uses up glucose for energy. Stress can cause blood glucose levels to increase as the body releases stress hormones that can raise blood sugar. Illness can also cause blood glucose levels to increase as the body's immune response can lead to insulin resistance and higher blood sugar levels.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    If left untreated or improperly managed, diabetes can result in a variety of complications including: (This question may have more than one correct answer )

    • Heart disease

    • Kidney disease

    • Eye disease

    • Nerve damage

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Heart disease
    A. Kidney disease
    A. Eye disease
    A. Nerve damage
    Explanation
    If left untreated or improperly managed, diabetes can lead to various complications such as heart disease, kidney disease, eye disease, and nerve damage. This is because high blood sugar levels can damage blood vessels and nerves over time, increasing the risk of cardiovascular problems, kidney dysfunction, vision problems, and nerve damage. Therefore, it is important for individuals with diabetes to properly manage their blood sugar levels through medication, diet, exercise, and regular check-ups to prevent or minimize these complications.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    How often should people with diabetes have their feet checked? (This question may have more than one correct answer )

    • Every six months by a podiatrist

    • The person should check their feet everyday

    • They don’t need to have their feet checked

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Every six months by a podiatrist
    A. The person should check their feet everyday
    Explanation
    People with diabetes should have their feet checked every six months by a podiatrist because regular foot exams can help detect any early signs of foot complications and prevent serious problems. Additionally, the person should also check their feet every day themselves to monitor for any changes, such as cuts, sores, or infections, as diabetes can lead to poor circulation and nerve damage, making it harder to notice these issues. Regular foot checks are important for maintaining foot health and preventing complications in individuals with diabetes.
