1) Following overnight d (Diagnosis of hypoglycemia in adults.)
fasting, hypoglycemia in
adults is defined as a
glucose of:

c. <55 mg/dL (<3.0mmol/L)
d. <45mg/dL (<2.5mmol/L)

3) The preparation of a a (GTT diet preparation.)
patient for standard
glucose tolerance testing
should include:
a. a high carbohydrate diet
for 3 days
b. a low carbohydrate diet
for 3 days
c. fasting for 48 hrs. prior to
testing
d. bed rest for 3 days

4) If a fasting glucose was b (Normal 2 hour postprandial value.)
90 mg/dL, which of the
following 2 hr. postprandial
glucose result would most
closely represent normal
glucose metabolism?
a. 55 mg/dL (3.0 mmol/L)
b. 100 mg/dL (5.5 mmol/L)
c. 180 mg/dL (9.9 mmol/L)
d. 260 mg/dL (14.3 mmol/L)

,5) A healthy person with a b (Ratio of CSF glucose to blood glucose)
blood glucose of 80 mg/dL

simultaneously determined
cerebrospinal fluid glucose
value of:
a. 25 mg/dL (1.4 mmol/L)
b. 50 mg/dL (2.3 mmol/L)
c. 100 mg/dL (5.5 mmol/L)
d. 150 mg/dL (8.3 mmol/L)

6) A 25 yr. old man became c (Use of partial GTT information.)
nauseated and vomited 90
mins after receiving a
standard 75 g carbohydrate
dose for an oral glucose
tolerance test. The best
course of action is to:
a. give the patient a glass of
orange juice and continue
the test
b. start the test over
immediately with a 50 g
carbohydrate dose
c. draw blood for glucose
and discontinue the test
d. place the patient in a
recumbent position,
reassure him and continue
the test.

glucose assay should be:
a. refrigerated
b. analyzed immediately
c. heated to 56C
d. stored at room
temperature after
centrifugation

d. higher than a normal full-
term infant
