5.3.3 Diabetes

• Type 1 diabetes typically starts in childhood
• What is the primary treatment for Type 1 diabetes?

  Insulin injections
• In Type 2 diabetes, the body becomes resistant to insulin or doesn't produce enough

  True
• Match the type of diabetes with its onset and treatment:

  Type 1 ↔️ Childhood, insulin injections

  Type 2 ↔️ Adulthood, diet and exercise
• Insulin promotes the storage of excess glucose as glycogen
• Why does Type 1 diabetes require lifelong insulin treatment?

  Pancreas cannot produce insulin
• Diabetes is a condition where the body cannot effectively control blood glucose levels
• When does Type 1 diabetes typically onset?

  Childhood or adolescence
• Match the type of diabetes with its characteristics:

  Type 1 Diabetes ↔️ Autoimmune destruction of beta cells

  Type 2 Diabetes ↔️ Insulin resistance or insufficient production
• Type 1 diabetes requires lifelong insulin treatment


  True
• Insulin facilitates glucose absorption by cells
• Match the function of insulin with its description:

  Glucose Uptake ↔️ Facilitates glucose absorption by cells

  Glycogen Storage ↔️ Promotes glucose conversion to glycogen
• Insulin resistance is a key factor in Type 2 diabetes


  True
• Arrange the common symptoms of diabetes in order of severity:

  1️⃣ Increased thirst and urination

  2️⃣ Fatigue

  3️⃣ Blurred vision

  4️⃣ Slow healing of cuts/bruises
• Match the diagnostic method for diabetes with its description:

  Fasting Blood Glucose (FBG) Test ↔️ Blood glucose levels after an overnight fast

  Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) ↔️ Blood glucose levels after consuming a sugary drink

  Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) Test ↔️ Average blood glucose over 2-3 months
• An insulin pump provides more precise control over blood glucose levels than insulin injections


  True
• Effective management of Type 1 diabetes requires regular blood glucose monitoring
• Diabetes is a condition where the body cannot effectively control blood glucose levels
• Type 2 diabetes typically develops in adulthood.


  True
• Type 1 diabetes requires lifelong insulin treatment
• Insulin promotes the storage of excess glucose as glycogen in the liver and muscles.


  True
• Insulin resistance in Type 2 diabetes occurs when cells become less responsive to insulin
• Type 2 diabetes symptoms often develop rapidly.

  False
• Match the diagnostic method with its advantage:

  Fasting Blood Glucose (FBG) Test ↔️ Inexpensive

  Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) ↔️ More comprehensive

  Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) Test ↔️ Doesn't require fasting
• Effective management of Type 1 diabetes requires regular blood glucose monitoring
• In severe cases of Type 2 diabetes, insulin therapy may be required.
• What is diabetes defined as?

  Body cannot control blood glucose
• Type 1 diabetes is caused by the immune system destroying insulin-producing cells in the pancreas


  True
• Type 2 diabetes usually develops in adulthood
• What is the first line of treatment for Type 2 diabetes?

  Diet and exercise
• What is the role of insulin in regulating blood glucose levels?

  Facilitates glucose uptake
• Match the function of insulin with its description:

  Glucose Uptake ↔️ Facilitates glucose absorption by cells

  Glycogen Storage ↔️ Promotes glucose conversion to glycogen
• What is the primary cause of Type 1 diabetes?

  Autoimmune destruction of beta cells
• Regular insulin injections are a common treatment for Type 1 diabetes

  True
• Type 2 diabetes usually develops in adulthood
• What is the typical onset age for Type 2 diabetes?

  Adulthood
• What is the primary function of insulin in the body?

  Regulate blood glucose levels
• Which hormone is produced by the pancreas to regulate blood glucose levels?

  Insulin
• What type of cells are targeted in Type 1 diabetes?

  Insulin-producing beta cells
• Type 1 diabetes often presents with unexplained weight loss
