A fasting hypoglycaemia (low plasma glucose) is likely in both poorly treated type 1- and type 2-diabetes.X.  Individuals with type 1-diabetes typically have reduced circulating insulin.Y.  Atherosclerosis will usually develop more slowly in both type 1- and type 2-diabetics.Z.  Insulin resistance is the predominant feature of type 2-diabetes.Question 20Select one:a.if only W, X and Y are correctb.if only W and Y are correctc.if only X and Z are correctd.if only Z is correcte.if all are correct

Which of the following statements is correct in relation to diabetes?Question 17Select one:a.Both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are due to defects in insulin production.b.Both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are due to insulin resistance.c.Most individuals with type 1 diabetes are obese.d.Ketosis is more likely to occur in type 1 diabetes than in type 2 diabetes.e.All of the above statements are correct.

Which of these statements is/are true in relation to renal failure, resulting from poorly-treated diabetes?W. Thickened basement membrane will lead to increased excretion of glucose and plasma proteins.X. The major sites of damage in the kidney would be the glomeruli.Y.  Microangiopathy will result in a decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR).Z.  Urinalysis would likely show no protein or glucose present in urine.Question 22Select one:a.if only W, X and Y are correctb.if only W and Y are correctc.if only X and Z are correctd.if only Z is correcte.if all are correct

Which of the following statements is/are correct in relation to poorly treated diabetes mellitus?W. Microangiopathy typically results in plasma proteins being retained in blood vessels.X.  Basement membranes of capillaries may thicken, resulting in reduced oxygen delivery to tissue. Y.   The main eye pathology seen is optic neuritis (inflammation of the optic nerve).Z.  Damage in cells that do not require insulin for glucose uptake (e.g. neurons) is mainly due to increased intracellular glucose accumulation.Question 22Select one:a.if only W, X and Y are correctb.if only W and Y are correctc.if only X and Z are correctd.if only Z is correcte.if all are correct

Which of these are potential long-term consequences of poorly-treated diabetes mellitus?W. Non-specific glycosylation leading to changes in structure and function of proteins.X. Tissue hypoxia due to basement membrane thickening and reduced capillary lumen diameter.Y.  Cataracts, retinopathies and therefore blindness.Z. Increased inflammatory responses resulting in reduced infections and improved wound healing.Question 43Select one:a.if only W, X and Y are correctb.if only W and Y are correctc.if only X and Z are correctd.if only Z is correcte.if all are correct
