A
Introduction to Diabetes and Hormonal Regulation
Answer the following questions to review your understanding of how the body regulates blood sugar levels and how diabetes affects this process.
1.
Define diabetes mellitus and explain the main difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.
[2 marks]B
Mechanisms of Blood Glucose Regulation
Answer the following questions related to how blood sugar levels are maintained in the body.
1.
Describe the role of insulin in regulating blood glucose levels.
[2 marks]2.
What hormone is primarily responsible for increasing blood glucose levels when they are too low?
[1 mark]C
Calculations Related to Blood Glucose and Insulin
Solve the following numerical problems using the provided formulas.
1.
A patient with Type 1 diabetes requires an insulin dose of 0.5 units per kilogram of body weight. If the patient weighs 70 kg, how many units of insulin should they take?
[3 marks]2.
A person's blood glucose level is 180 mg/dL after a meal. If the normal fasting blood glucose level is below 100 mg/dL, how much has their blood glucose increased compared to normal fasting levels?
[3 marks]D
Practical and Theoretical Understanding of Diabetes
Answer the following questions based on practical and theoretical knowledge.
1.
List three main variables that must be controlled in an experiment to test the effect of insulin on blood glucose levels.
[2 marks]2.
Name one safety precaution that should be taken when handling insulin in a laboratory setting.
[1 mark]E
Data Analysis and Interpretation
Interpret the following scenarios related to blood glucose and insulin.
1.
A patient with Type 2 diabetes has a fasting blood glucose level of 150 mg/dL. What does this indicate about their blood sugar regulation? Explain briefly.
[4 marks]F
Application to Real-World Contexts
Answer the following questions applying your understanding of diabetes to daily life and industry.
1.
How has insulin therapy advanced diabetes management in recent years? Provide one example of a technological development.
