Question
Chapter 19, Problem 17RA
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The effect of insulin resistance.
Introduction:
The insulin hormone plays a pivotal role in maintaining the glucose levels in the blood. The increased blood glucose level triggers the release of insulin hormone which in turn decreases the blood glucose level. Glucagon hormone works in the opposite direction of insulin. Glucagon raises the level of glucose in the blood.

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
Neuropathy is a potential complication of diabetes.

Select one:
A.
Viral infection in the nerves
B. Lack of glucose production by the nerves o
C. Blockage of blood vessels that supply the
nerve fibers
O
D. Excessive production of glucose by the
brain and spinal cord
E. Overproduction of ketone bodies by the
liver
