Eating at regular times Eating low-glycemic foods Avoiding regular physical activity Medication Question 7 0 / 1 pts People with diabetes need to make healthier food choices. In today's society, foods that are readily available and easy to access tend to have a low nutritional value. The availability, or lack thereof, of healthy foods in one's community falls within which Bronfenbrenner model? Microsystem Mesosystem Macrosystem Chronosystem Question 8 1 / 1 pts Match the following terms and definitions. This study source was downloaded by from CourseH on :00:34 GMT -05:00 exposure to nutritional stresses or stimuli during critical development periods that affects the body's metabolism much later in life Insulin resistance a state that precedes the onset of diabetes, in which sufficient amounts of insulin are produced, but cells do not respond to it properly Type 1 diabetes a disorder in which the body's own immune system attacks and kills beta cells in the pancreas that produce insulin, resulting in the body producing too little or no insulin. Previously called insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus or juvenile diabetes Closed-loop system a system that continuously monitors circulating glucose levels, using software to determine how much insulin should be delivered. It then automatically delivers that amount of insulin. Also known as an artificial pancreas Question 9 0 / 1 pts What factor(s) within the meso level have been known to contribute to the increasing prevalence of obesity and Diabetes in the U.S? Genetics Proximity to a fast-food restaurant Access to nutritional programs Proximity to a health food store Question 10 1 / 1 pts Match the following terms and definitions. Autoimmune disease This study source was downloaded by from CourseH on :00:34 GMT -05:00 organs or tissues Prediabetes also known as impaired glucose tolerance or impaired fasting glucose, this is the condition that precedes diabetes; blood glucose levels are elevated beyond the normal range but are not yet at diabetic levels Gestational diabetes excess blood glucose that appears later in pregnancy in women who did not have diabetes before they became pregnant. It appears to be a form of insulin resistance that develops in response to a hormone produced by the placenta. Type 2 diabetes A disorder in which the body produces enough insulin at first, but cells do not respond to it properly. As a result, more and more insulin is required, and the beta cells of the pancreas become exhausted and lose their ability to produce it. Previously called non-insulin-dependent diabetes or adult-onset diabetes. Question 11 1 / 1 pts Long-term complications of hyperglycemia (high blood glucose levels) are: Neuropathy Kidney disease Cardiovascular disease Dementia All of the above Question 12 0 / 1 pts This study source was downloaded by from CourseH on :00:34 GMT -05:00 to receive shots for her condition.
