Total questions: 10
Worksheet time: 5mins
Which metabolic pathway is most directly affected by insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes?
Glycolysis
Glycogenesis
Gluconeogenesis
Glycogenolysis
In diabetes, impaired insulin signaling can lead to which of the following?
Increased glucose uptake by muscle
Suppression of hepatic glucose production
Decreased lipolysis in adipose tissue
Increased gluconeogenesis in the liver
Glucerna is designed for people with diabetes primarily because it:
Is high in saturated fats to reduce insulin secretion
Has a low glycemic index to avoid blood sugar spikes
Contains high sugar content for quick energy
Replaces insulin therapy
Which nutrient modification in Glucerna helps slow glucose absorption?
High simple sugar content
Added trans fats
Slowly digestible carbohydrates and fiber
High sodium levels
Which of the following is a key metabolic hallmark of diabetes mellitus?
Enhanced mitochondrial ATP productionEnhanced mitochondrial ATP production
Increased insulin sensitivity
Hyperglycemia due to impaired glucose uptake
Hypoglycemia due to low glycogen levels
Insulin promotes glycogenesis and inhibits gluconeogenesis.
True
False
In diabetes, insulin fails to suppress hepatic glucose production effectively.
True
False
Glucerna is high in simple sugars to provide rapid energy for diabetic patients.
True
False
Beta-oxidation of fatty acids is increased in uncontrolled diabetes due to lack of insulin activity.
The metabolic effects of Glucerna include promoting rapid insulin spikes to normalize blood sugar.
