Q1 QUESTION 1 OF 33
Type of diabetes where there is a glucose intolerance?
CORRECT ANSWER
Pre-diabetes Mellitus
RATIONALE
Pre-diabetes mellitus is characterized by glucose intolerance, indicating impaired glucose regulation that has not
yet reached the diagnostic threshold for type 2 diabetes. This state signifies a precursor condition where blood
glucose levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as overt diabetes.
Q2 QUESTION 2 OF 33
What type of diabetes has an abnormal secretion of insulin, resistance to the action of insulin in the target
tissues, and/or inadequate response at the level of the insulin receptor?
CORRECT ANSWER
Type 2 diabetes mellitus
RATIONALE
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is characterized by a combination of impaired insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells
and insulin resistance, where target tissues like muscle and adipose tissue do not respond effectively to insulin's
signal. This complex pathophysiology leads to hyperglycemia due to the body's inability to utilize glucose efficiently.
Q3 QUESTION 3 OF 33
What is the type of diabetes where there is severe insulin deficiency resulting from beta cell destruction,
which produces hyperglycemia due to the altered metabolism of lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins?
CORRECT ANSWER
Type 1 diabetes mellitus
