What leads to a loss of insulin secretion in a type 1 diabetic?Group of answer choicesReduced sensitivity of the pancreatic beta cells.Decreased activity of the immune system.Death of the pancreatic beta cells.Insulin resistance in the muscle cells.

Regarding the relationship between insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity, which of the following statements is FALSE?Group of answer choicesElevated fasting glucose levels and impaired glucose tolerance result from decreased insulin sensitivity alone.Insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity display an inverse relationship.When an individual goes from a state of being physically active to sedentary, insulin secretion rises and insulin sensitivity falls.Insulin secretion rises in response to physical inactivity is a compensatory mechanism from the pancreatic beta cell alone.Type 2 diabetes takes years for its development.

Type I diabetes is characterised by a total lack of insulin caused by:Question 1Answera.A reduced inflammatory responseb.Less than 50% beta cell destructionc.Acute autoimmune attack on beta cellsd.Helper T cells inhibiting macrophage function within the pancrease.T lymphocytes reacting against beta cells antigens

Individuals with type 2 diabetes Group of answer choices have pancreases that produce and secrete very little insulin. have an absolute requirement for insulin injections. may often control their disease by diet and exercise. have normal concentrations of glucose in their blood.

Which of the following statements is true for pancreas ?Group of answer choicesThe alpha cells of the pancreas secrete insulin.Hypersecretion of insulin causes diabetes mellitus.Insulin causes an increase in the blood sugar level.Glucagon and insulin are antagonists of each other.

When insulin is secreted, what happens?Multiple ChoiceTissue stores of glucose are depleted.Adipose tissue breaks down fat.The liver breaks down glycogen.The blood glucose level rises.Glucose is taken up by the cells.
