With good nutrition glucose levels do not need to be monitored.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
Glucose levels need to be monitored regardless of good nutrition because glucose is the primary source of energy for the body and its levels can fluctuate due to various factors such as food intake, physical activity, and hormonal changes. Monitoring glucose levels helps in managing conditions like diabetes and ensuring that they remain within a healthy range. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that glucose levels do not need to be monitored with good nutrition.Rate this question:

Nausea and abdominal pains are symptoms of diabetic ketoacidosis.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Nausea and abdominal pains are common symptoms of diabetic ketoacidosis, a serious complication of diabetes. Diabetic ketoacidosis occurs when there is a lack of insulin in the body, leading to high levels of blood sugar. This causes the body to break down fat for energy, resulting in the production of ketones. The accumulation of ketones in the blood can lead to symptoms such as nausea and abdominal pains. Therefore, it is true that nausea and abdominal pains are symptoms of diabetic ketoacidosis.Rate this question:

Insulin is needed to move glucose into the cells for energy.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels. When we consume carbohydrates, they are broken down into glucose, which is then transported into our cells to provide energy. However, glucose cannot enter the cells without the help of insulin. Insulin acts as a key that unlocks the cells, allowing glucose to enter and be used for energy. Therefore, it is true that insulin is needed to move glucose into the cells for energy.Rate this question:

What are common symptoms for Type 1 diabetes?
-
Frequent urination and unusual thirst
-
Fatigue, blurred vision, and loss of appetite
-
Weight loss, decreased appetite
-
Increased appetite, weight gain
Correct Answer
A. Frequent urination and unusual thirstExplanation
Frequent urination and unusual thirst are common symptoms of Type 1 diabetes. This is because high blood sugar levels cause the kidneys to work harder to remove the excess sugar from the body, leading to increased urination. The excessive urination then causes dehydration, which triggers the feeling of unusual thirst. These symptoms are often early signs of Type 1 diabetes and should be taken seriously for proper diagnosis and treatment.Rate this question:

Which is not a good choice for treating hypoglycemia?
-
4oz of fruit juice
-
6oz of diet soda
-
4-6 pieces of small hard candy
-
3-4 glucose tablets
Correct Answer
A. 6oz of diet sodaExplanation
Diet soda is not a good choice for treating hypoglycemia because it does not contain enough carbohydrates to quickly raise blood sugar levels. Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, requires a fast-acting source of sugar to bring levels back to normal. Fruit juice, small hard candy, and glucose tablets are all better options as they provide a higher amount of carbohydrates that can be quickly absorbed by the body. Diet soda, on the other hand, typically contains artificial sweeteners and does not provide the necessary sugar needed to treat hypoglycemia effectively.Rate this question:

Which is not a cause of hypoglycemia?
-
Stress
-
Illness
-
Too much food consumed at one time
-
Too much insulin
Correct Answer
A. Too much food consumed at one timeExplanation
Hypoglycemia is a condition characterized by low blood sugar levels. Stress, illness, and too much insulin are known causes of hypoglycemia as they can all lead to a decrease in blood sugar levels. However, consuming too much food at one time is not a cause of hypoglycemia. In fact, consuming too much food can lead to high blood sugar levels, known as hyperglycemia. Therefore, the correct answer is "Too much food consumed at one time".Rate this question:

A student is showing symptoms of Sweating, dizziness, and anxiety. The student is probably?
-
Hyperglycemic
-
Hypoglycemic
Correct Answer
A. HypoglycemicExplanation
Based on the symptoms of sweating, dizziness, and anxiety, it can be inferred that the student is experiencing low blood sugar levels, which is known as hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia occurs when there is an insufficient amount of glucose in the blood, leading to these symptoms. Hyperglycemia, on the other hand, is characterized by high blood sugar levels and typically presents with different symptoms such as excessive thirst, frequent urination, and fatigue. Therefore, the student is likely hypoglycemic rather than hyperglycemic.Rate this question:
-
- 9.
Hyperglycemia is caused by too much insulin and not enough glucose in the blood.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
False. Hyperglycemia is actually caused by high levels of glucose in the blood, often due to insufficient insulin or insulin resistance. Insulin helps regulate blood sugar levels by allowing glucose to enter cells for energy. When there is not enough insulin or the body becomes resistant to its effects, glucose builds up in the bloodstream, leading to hyperglycemia.Rate this question:

A meal or substantial snack should be started within ______ minutes from the time insulin is administered?
-
30 minutes
-
45-60 minutes
-
15 minutes
-
5-10 minutes
Correct Answer
A. 15 minutesExplanation
Insulin is a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels. When insulin is administered, it starts to work within a certain period of time. Starting a meal or substantial snack within 15 minutes of insulin administration ensures that the food is available to be broken down and absorbed by the body when the insulin starts to take effect. This helps prevent low blood sugar levels and maintains a stable blood sugar level throughout the day.Rate this question:
