A patient diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus is admitted to the medical unit with
pneumonia. The patient's oral antidiabetic medication has been discontinued and the
patient is now receiving insulin for glucose control. Which of the following statements best
explains the rationale for this change in medication?
acute illness like pneumonia will cause increased insulin resistance
b. stress-related states such as infections increase risk of hyperglycaemia
c. insulin administration will help prevent hypoglycaemia during the illness
d. infection has compromised beta cell function so the patient will need insulin from now

- Figure 37.11 Pancreatic tumors may cause excess secretion of glucagon. Type I diabetes results from the failure of the pancreas to produce insulin. Which of the following statement about these two conditions is true? A pancreatic tumor and type I diabetes will have the opposite effects on blood sugar levels. A pancreatic tumor and type I diabetes will both cause hyperglycemia. A pancreatic tumor and type I diabetes will both cause hypoglycemia. Both pancreatic tumors and type I diabetes result in the inability of cells to take up glucose.arrow_forwardThe 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.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements concerning insulin is NOT true?
