Blood Sugar Regulation

Which of these would NOT occur as a result of Type 1 Diabetes?

• Insulin joins up with an insulin receptor.

• Glucose enters a cell through glucose transport proteins.

• The pancreas would release normal amounts of insulin.

• All of these

What type of macromolecule does diabetes primarily involve?

• Proteins

• Carbohydrates

• Nucleic Acids

• Lipids

You can prevent (stop) type 2 diabetes.

• True

• False

How do type 1 and type 2 diabetes differ?

• Type 1 diabetes usually develops in childhood or at a young age.

• Type 2 diabetes causes difficulty in the body's use of insulin.

• Both of the above

• Neither of the above

When glucose levels in the blood rise, your brain sends a signal to your pancreas. The pancreas releases insulin, which opens channels in cell membranes to allow glucose to enter the cell, lowering blood sugar levels.
