A 25-year-old man became nauseated and vomited 90 minutes after receiving a
standard 75 g carbohydrate dose for an oral glucose tolerance test. The best course of
action is to: - ✔✔draw blood for glucose and discontinue test
Cerebrospinal fluid for glucose assay should be: - ✔✔analyzed immediately
Which of the following 2 hour postprandial glucose values demonstrates unequivocal
hyperglycemia diagnostic for diabetes mellitus? - ✔✔200 mg/dL (11.0 mmol/L)
Serum levels that define hypoglycemia in pre-term or low birth weight infants are: -
✔✔lower than adults
A 45-year-old woman has fasting serum glucose concentration of 95 mg/dL (5.2 mmol/L)
and a 2hour postprandial glucose concentration of 105 mg/dL (5.8 mmol/L). The
statement which best describes this patient's fasting serum glucose concentration is: -
✔✔normal: reflecting glycogen breakdown by the liver
Pregnant women with symptoms of thirst, frequent urination or unexplained weight loss
should have which of the following tests performed? - ✔✔glucose tolerance test
In the fasting state, the arterial and capillary blood glucose concentration varies from
the venous glucose concentration by approximately how man mg/dL (mmol/L)? -
✔✔5 mg/dL (0.27 mmol/L) higher
, The conversion of glucose or other hexoses into lactate or pyruvate is called: -
✔✔glycolysis
Which one of the following values obtained during a glucose tolerance test are
diagnostic of diabetes mellitus? - ✔✔fasting plasma glucose= 126 mg/dL (6.9
mmol/L)
Monitoring long-term glucose control in patients with adult onset diabetes mellitus can
best be accomplished by measuring: - ✔✔hemoglobin A1C
A patient with Type I, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus has the following results:
Fasting blood glucose test
Patient level: 150mg/dL
Range: 70 - 110 mg/dL
Hemoglobin A1c test
Patient level: 8.5%
Range: 4.0% - 6.0%
Fructosamime test
Patient level: 2.5 mmol/L
Range: 2.0-2.9 mmol/L
After reviewing these test results, the technologist concluded that the patient is in a: -
✔✔improving state of metabolic control as indicated by fructosamine
Total glycosylated hemoglobin levels in a hemolysate reflect the: - ✔✔average blood
glucose levels of the past 2-3 months
