Diabetes is a disease affecting the insulin producing glands of the pancreas. If there is not enough insulin being produced by these cells, the amount of glucose in the blood will remain high. A blood glucose level above 140 for an extended period of time is not considered normal. Patients in a trial study are given the same meals every day for 2 weeks. They are given different levels of insulin every day to see how their bodies react. Their blood sugar is then tested every 30 minutes for 4 hours after every dose to measure how glucose levels are affected.

Which is the Dependent Variable?

a)

The meals

b)

The insulin doses

c)

The glucose levels
