CARBOHYDRATES 1. Following overnight fasting, hypoglycemia in adults is defined as a glucose of: - <45 mg/dL (<2.5 mmol/L) 2. The following results are from a 21 year-old patient with a back injury who appears otherwise healthy: Whole Blood Glucose: 77 mg/dL (4.2 mmol/L) Serum Glucose: 88 mg/dL (4.8 mmol/L) CSF Glucose: 56 mg/dL (3.1 mmol/L The best interpretation of these results is that: - All values are consistent with a normal healthy individual 3. The preparation of a patient for standard glucose tolerance testing should include: - A high carbohydrate diet for 3 days 4. If a fasting glucose was 90 mg/dL, which of the following 2-hour postprandial glucose results would most closely represent normal glucose metabolism? - 100 mg/dL (5.5 mmol/L)5. A healthy person with a blood glucose of 80 mg/dL (4.4 mmo
