(a)
To predict: The level of glucose in the blood of patient having insulin-dependent diabetes, before treatment in the emergency room, relative to levels maintained during adequate insulin treatment.
Introduction:
Insulin dependent diabetes or type 2 diabetes is a form of diabetes mellitus in which enough insulin is not produced by the body. It results in elevated blood sugar levels in the body. Glucose is a monosaccharide which is absorbed from the digestive tract. It is the energy source for the body.

To determine: The level of

Ketone bodies are synthesized from acetyl-CoA during cellular
(c)
To determine: The level of free fatty acids in the blood of patient having insulin-dependent diabetes before treatment in the emergency room, relative to levels maintained during adequate insulin treatment.
Introduction:

Fats are organic molecules which are made up of three fatty acid chain and a glycerol. When fats are broken down into fatty acid and glycerol it releases acetyl-CoA which is used in the process of glycolysis to release energy.
