NSG 3000 Exam 1 Questions with Correct
Answers 2026 Graded A+
1
What produces insulin?
B cells in the islets of Langerhans of the pancrease
2
What is the normal glucose range
70-120
3
What produces glucagon?
Alpha cells of the pancreas
4
What does insulin do?
lowers the blood glucose level by allowing the transport of glucose into body cells
5
What does glucagon do?
Raises the blood glucose level by stimulating the release of glucose from the liver
6
Type 1 Diabetes: Patho
Person was born with genetic predisposition to the disease, making it more likely for them to get
the disease. Overtime they were presented with an environmental trigger (virus) to have an
autoimmune response / causing the creation of T cells to destroy the Beta cells so no insulin is
produced
7
How does a person get Type 1 Diabetes?
Genetic/virus. Person with certain HLA is exposed to a viral infection they create T Cells which
destroy the B cells.
8
How long does the destruction of Beta cells last?
months to years
9
What is the onset of symptoms of Type 1?
rapid onset
10
NSG 3000
, NSG 3000
Key symptoms of Type 1
polydipsia, polyuria, polyphagia
11
Type 2 Diabetes:
Pancreas continues to produce some insulin how ever the insulin that is produced is insufficient
or is poorly used / Insulin resistance
12
What is the onset of Type 2?
Gradual
13
Risk factors of Type 2?
Genetics, obesity, hypertension, increased age, ethnic population
14
What is prediabetes?
Impaired glucose intolerance / impaired fasting glucose / dont have symptoms but have damage
to heart and vessels
15
What are the symptoms of Type 2?
classic symptoms + fatigue, recurrent infections, recurrent vaginal yeast or candida infections,
prolonged healing, and visual changes.
16
What four methods is Diabetes diagnosed by?
-A1C of 6.5 or higher
-Fasting plasma glucose greater that or equal to 126 mg/dl
-Two hour plasma glucose level greater than or equal to 200 mg/dl
-Random Glucose tes grater than or equal to 200 mg/dl + classic symptoms
17
What does A1C measure?
amount of glycosylated hemoglobin as a percentage of total hemoglobin / glucose attaches to
hemoglobin as blood glucose increases / provides a measurement of glycemic control over the
previous 3 months
18
What is the equation for A1C?
eAG = 28.7 x A1C - 46.7
19
What is the acute presentation of Type 1
DKA - becomes sick after a couple days, nausea, vomiting, and confusion - 30%
