Discusskey impairments that are characteristic in the altered glucose metabolism of people with Type 2 Diabetes. (note: you should describe effects in different key organs/tissues involved in glucose metabolism within your answer) As a result of these impairments, describethe expected differences in post-prandial metabolism of a given load of digestible carbohydrates in people with Type 2 Diabetes compared with healthy, non-diabetic individuals.

The hormones insulin and glucagon play an important role in the regulation of plasma glucose. b) People with Type II diabetes mellitus can manage their condition (maintain adequate glycaemic control) through use of oral hypoglycaemic drugs. Provide a rationale for how two hypoglycaemic drugs, with different mechanisms of action, can both work to lower blood glucose levels in Type II diabetes.
How does the pathophysiology of diabetes ketoacidosis differ from hyperosmolar non-ketonic coma? (easy and simple)
List 2 metabolic characteristics of type 1 diabetes and explain how they are linked to insulin deficiency.
A person is suspected with diabetes mellitus. He checks his blood glucose level by gluceose oxidase method. After the experiment, OD of his blood sample was obtained as 0.08. Based on the glucose standard curve seen in the virtual lab, calculate his blood glucose level. Is he had diabetes mellitus? (Note: Normal blood glucose level in our body is 70-110mg/dl).
Mary, who has type 2 diabetes, has asked you about the importance of glycaemic index (GI) in her glucose control. Based on your knowledge, you inform her: a) That choosing low GI carbohydrate sources over high GI sources will not have any beneficial impact on her glucose control b) That choosing low GI carbohydrate sources over high GI sources might help to "fine-tune" glucose levels when considered along with total carbohydrate intake c) To choose carbohydrate sources containing higher levels of amylopectin starch, as it gets digested slower than amylose starch d) That she should choose glucose sources (e.g. white rice) over fructose sources (e.g. fruits), as glucose will produce a lower glycaemic response than will fructose
