In Type 1 Diabetes, the body is unable to maintain homeostasis of blood glucose because the pancreas does not make insulin. Draw a graph to predict how blood glucose levels (mg/dl) would change with time in the 2 hours after consuming sugar in a person with Type 1 Diabetes versus a healthy person.
A researcher is curious whether 30 minutes of daily exercise can decrease the blood glucose levels back to normal in patients with type 2 diabetes.  what would be the Control Group of this?
A diabetic's blood sugar cannot be controlled because their pancreas can not produce enough insulin. To treat the illness, a person must keep track of their blood sugar levels and, if they are too high, inject insulin. What treatment do you think they'd require for low blood sugar?
