1. Which of the following accurately compares the role of glucagon and insulin in regulating blood glucose levels? a. Glucagon stimulates organs and tissues to increase their uptake of glucose, whereas insulin stimulates organs and tissues to release glucose. b. The primary function of both glucagon and insulin is to facilitate the uptake of glucose into body cells. c. Glucagon stimulates organs and tissues to release glucose, whereas insulin stimulates organs and tissues to increase their uptake of glucose. d. Glucagon reduces blood glucose levels via glycolysis, whereas insulin increases blood glucose levels via glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis.
Glucagon: a. Increases glucose transport to skeletal muscle cells b. Increases glycogen synthesis in liver cells c. Inhibits gluconeogenesis in liver d. Increases cellular cAMP level e. Inhibits glucose synthesis in hypoglycemia

1. Insulin.....a. Carries glucose into the muscle cellb. signals the muscle cell to take up glucose c. signals the synthesis of glucose in the liver d. carries lactate from the muscle to the liver 2.In the fasting, state, the Liver helps maintain a normal level of blood glucose by: a. Making ketones and storing them for later.b. stopping glycolysis and using alternative fuels for energyc. speeding up glycolysis because it needs energy to make glucose d. Beginning glycogenesis to build up glucose storage
Insulin therapy has all of the following effects, except:A. Increases concentration of free fatty acids in blood plasma B. Stimulates glucose uptake by tissuesC. Inhibits lipolysisD. Activates protein synthesis
A patient diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus is admitted to the medical unit with pneumonia. The patient's oral antidiabetic medication has been discontinued and the patient is now receiving insulin for glucose control. Which of the following statements best explains the rationale for this change in medication? acute illness like pneumonia will cause increased insulin resistance b. stress-related states such as infections increase risk of hyperglycaemia c. insulin administration will help prevent hypoglycaemia during the illness d. infection has compromised beta cell function so the patient will need insulin from now on

None of the above is correct.
