Which of the following statements is true regarding the blood glucose level of non-insulin-dependent diabetics compared with that of normal individuals? O Blood glucose levels of diabetics tend to be very stable, but at a higher level. O Blood glucose levels of diabetics tend to be variable and higher. O Blood glucose levels decrease more rapidly following a meal, often dropping lower than is tolerable. O Blood glucose levels average the same level in diabetics but reach higher peaks for short periods. O None of the above is true.

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.

Many hormone systems regulate body functions through opposing hormone actions. Describe how opposing hormone actions regulate blood-glucose levels?
People with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus are generally not ketosis prone. This is thought to be a result of: the lack of increase in glucagons in the se individuals the presence of insulin in the individuals their obesity the fact that, their blood glucose levels do not tend to rise significantly Metabolic actions of insulin include all of the following except: increased glycogenesis decreased gluconeogenesis increased basal metabolic rate increased skeletal muscle amino acid up-take all of the above are metabolic actions of insulin
Which of the following statements about glucose regulation is FALSE? *Glucagon is released by the alpha cells when blood glucose levels are low.Insulin is released by the beta cells when blood glucose levels are high.Glucagon stimulates the formation of glycogen in the liver.Individuals with Type II diabetes produce insulin, but the insulin receptors don’t work.Insulin makes body cells more permeable to glucose.
While insulin levels are primarily regulated by blood glucose, other factors are also able to influence insulin levels. Briefly describe the major positive and negative factors.
