Which mechanism describes type 1 diabetes?

  1. A

    The pancreas produces too much insulin.

  2. B

    The immune system destroys insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells.

  3. C

    The kidneys stop filtering glucose.

  4. D

    Body tissues become resistant to insulin, while the pancreas initially produces more insulin.

Which mechanism matches type 2 diabetes?

  1. A

    The immune system destroys beta cells, so the body makes no insulin from the outset.

  2. B

    The pancreas makes too much insulin, and this causes high blood glucose.

  3. C

    Body tissues resist insulin, and the pancreas may eventually be unable to make enough insulin to compensate.

  4. D

    The kidneys stop filtering glucose, while insulin production remains normal.

A person develops marked thirst, frequent urination, and unexplained weight loss over a short period. Which interpretation is most accurate?

  1. A

    These symptoms prove the person has type 1 diabetes.

  2. B

    These symptoms can occur with diabetes; rapid onset and weight loss are common features of type 1, but symptoms alone do not confirm the type.

  3. C

    These symptoms rule out type 2 diabetes.

  4. D

    Diabetes is unlikely because the symptoms appeared quickly.

Select all statements about symptom patterns that are supported.

  1. A

    Type 1 symptoms often appear quickly.

  2. B

    Type 2 may develop gradually.

  3. C

    The speed of symptom onset always establishes which type a person has.

  4. D

    Unexplained weight loss can occur, particularly with type 1 diabetes.

  5. E

    A gradual onset rules out diabetes.

Which statement about unexplained weight loss in diabetes is supported?

    Unexplained weight loss occurs in every person with diabetes.

  2. B

    Unexplained weight loss can occur, particularly in type 1 diabetes, but it is not universal.

  3. C

    Unexplained weight loss occurs only in type 2 diabetes.

  4. D

    Unexplained weight loss rules out type 2 diabetes.

A person’s body tissues respond poorly to insulin. Over time, the pancreas cannot produce enough insulin to compensate. Which description best fits this pattern?

  1. A

    The immune system destroys insulin-producing cells, so the pancreas produces too much insulin.

  2. B

    Body tissues resist insulin, and insulin production may eventually be insufficient to compensate.

  3. C

    The kidneys stop filtering glucose, which causes the pancreas to release less insulin.

  4. D

    The pancreas produces too much insulin, making body tissues resistant to glucose.

Which statement about symptoms in type 2 diabetes is supported?

  1. A

    Some people with type 2 diabetes may have no noticeable symptoms.

  2. B

    Everyone with type 2 diabetes develops symptoms quickly.

  3. C

    Type 2 diabetes always causes unexplained weight loss.

  4. D

    If symptoms are absent, type 2 diabetes is ruled out.

Which statement about unexplained weight loss and diabetes is most accurate?

  1. A

    Unexplained weight loss occurs in every person with diabetes.

  2. B

    Unexplained weight loss rules out type 2 diabetes.

  3. C

    Unexplained weight loss can occur, but it is not present in everyone.

  4. D

    Weight loss is the only symptom shared by both types.

A person has increased thirst and frequent urination. What can these symptoms alone establish about whether the person has type 1 or type 2 diabetes?

  1. A

    The symptoms establish type 1 because type 2 does not cause thirst or frequent urination.

  2. B

    Either type could cause these symptoms, so they do not identify the type by themselves.

  3. C

    The symptoms establish type 2 because type 1 does not affect blood glucose.

  4. D

    The symptoms rule out diabetes unless blurred vision is also present.
