© 2026 Assignment Expert
2h PG in a 75g OGTT >/= 11mmol/L
Guru01 - Stuvia
random PG >/= 11.1mmol/L
Prediabetes (i.e. at high risk for developing diabetes) - A1C Ans: 6-6.4%
what medical conditions can cause A1C results to be misleading? Ans: -
hemoglobinopathies
-iron deficiencies
-hemolytic anemia
-severe hepatic or renal disease
Impaired Fasting glucose (IFG) Ans: FPG - 6.1-6.9mmol/L
Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) Ans: OGTT (w/ 75g of glucose) 7.8-
11mmol/L

2
Screening for T1D is .... Ans: NOT recommended
Screening recommendations for T2D Ans: use FPG and/or A1c every 3
years in individuals >/=40yo or in individuals at high risk (using risk
calculator)

nephropathy
macrovascular complications Ans: coronary, cerebrovascular,
peripheral
Guru01 - Stuvia
Pharmacological therapies for PREVENTION of T2D (include by how
much % it is reduced by) Ans: 1. Metformin (~30%)
2. Acarbose (~30%)
3. Thiazolidinediones (~60%)
ACCORD, ADVANCE and VADT were the three major trials that
concluded what? Ans: intensive glycemic control - lowering A1C <6%
resulted in higher mortality, severe episodes of hypoglycemia - therefore
targets should individualized!!
TARGET for A1C, FPG and RPG for MOST Diabetic (T1D and T2D) patients?
Ans: A1c <7mmol/L
FPG 4-7mmol/L
,For Expert help and assignment handling,
3
PPG 5-10mmol/L (5-8mmol/L if A1c target not achieved)
Who should have target of A1c <6.5% Ans: in T2D to further decrease risk
of nephropathy and retinopathy (ensure there is a balance so as not to
cause HYPOGLYCEMIA)
Who should have target of 7.1-8.5% (7) Ans: 1. limited life expectancy
2. High level of functional dependency
© 2026 Assignment Expert
3. severe coronary artery disease/ increased risk for ischemic events
4. multiple comorbidities
Guru01 - Stuvia
5. HX of recurrent severe hypoglycemic episodes
6. hypoglycemic unawareness
7. Long standing diabetes that is difficult to reduce A1c<7% - despite
appropriate treatments
How and when should verification of the accuracy of SMBG monitors be
done? What is the acceptable difference? Ans: When: annually or
when A1C results do not match
How: comparing FPG machine results with FPG from lab measurements
acceptable difference is 20%

If on insulin and planning exercise. What is the BG to watch out for to
prevent HYPOglycemia? What should be done if BG is at or past cut off?
Ans: BG < 5.5mmol/L
Take 15-30g of carbs PRE-exercise
exercise recommendation for diabetes? Ans: 150min/week of moderate
intensity aerobic exercise spread over 3 days with no more than 2 days
of sedentary
© 2026 Assignment Expert
2-3 times per week of resistance training
How well can nutrition therapy reduce A1C? Ans: Can reduce A1C by
Guru01 - Stuvia
1-2%
carbohydrates recommendation Ans: no less than 130g/d (to maintain
glucose to brain)
no less than 45% of energy (60% if high in fibre and low glycemic index)
Dietary fiber recommendation Ans: 25-38g for women
21-30g for men
>51yo w/ diabetes
Recommended added sugars intake? Ans: no more than 10% of total
daily energy (aka. 50-65g/day for a 2000-2600kcal/day diet)
