A person traveled to Asia and is having trouble with jet lag. What would be the best way to get used to their new schedule and why? A. This person likely has a problem with their thyroxine levels, and is therefore very tired. B. It’s likely that they have insufficient glucagon production, and that is why they’re so tired. Therefore, they need to eat some bread or rice. C. They should expose themselves to daylight as long as the sun is out to force their pineal gland to re-set its timing. This way, they’ll produce melatonin at the right time, and they’ll soon fall asleep when everyone else does in that Asian city. D. Both A and B are correct.

Diabetes mellitus is characterized by insufficiency of thepancreas to produce enough insulin to regulate the blood sugarlevel. In type I diabetes, the pancreas produces no insulin, andthe patient is totally dependent on insulin from an externalsource to be infused at a rate to maintain blood sugar levelsat normal levels. Hyperglycemia occurs when blood glucoselevel rises much higher than the norm (>8 mmol/L) for pro-longed periods of time; hypoglycemia occurs when the blood sugar level falls below values of 3 mmol/L. Both situations canbe deleterious to the individual’s health. The normal range ofblood sugar is between 3.8 and 5.6 mmol/L, the target rangefor a controller regulating blood sugar.A patient with type I diabetes needs your help to maintainher blood sugar within an acceptable range (3 mmol/L<glucose<8 mmol/L). She has just eaten a large meal (a disturbance) that you estimate will release glucose accord-ing toD(t)=0.5e−0.05t,wheretis in minutes andD(t)is inmmol/L –…
