Mrs. Salma, a 55-year-old diabetic patient, experiences slow wound healing and peripheral neuropathy. Investigation reveals alterations in the Pentose Phosphate Pathway. How might dysregulation in the PPP contribute to complications such as slow wound healing and peripheral neuropathy in diabetic patients? Impaired nucleotide synthesis. Elevated insulin sensitivity. Lactic acid accumulation. Reduced oxidative stress

A person is suspected with diabetes mellitus. He checks his blood glucose level by gluceose oxidase method. After the experiment, OD of his blood sample was obtained as 0.08. Based on the glucose standard curve seen in the virtual lab, calculate his blood glucose level. Is he had diabetes mellitus? (Note: Normal blood glucose level in our body is 70-110mg/dl).

In the initial stages of the disease, type 2 diabetes is treated with Metformin only, and insulin is not needed. In later years, insulin treatment is often needed. Please help explain the progression of the disease, describing the initial role of Metformin as a drug, and the eventual need for insulin.
The hormones insulin and glucagon play an important role in the regulation of plasma glucose. b) People with Type II diabetes mellitus can manage their condition (maintain adequate glycaemic control) through use of oral hypoglycaemic drugs. Provide a rationale for how two hypoglycaemic drugs, with different mechanisms of action, can both work to lower blood glucose levels in Type II diabetes.
