- 1.15- Graphing Practice Graph: Diabetes Case Study on Diabetes Diabetes is a disease affecting the insulin-producing glands of the pancreas. If there is not enough insulin being produced by these cells, the amount of glucose in the blood will remain high. A blood glucose level above (40 for a long time is not considered normal. This disease, if not taken care of, can lead to severe complications like coma and even death. Answer the following questions concerning the data below and then graph it: Blood Glucose Patient B (mM of glucose/ Liter of Time After Blood Glucose Patient A (mM of glucose/ Liter of Blood) Eating (hours) Blood) 0.5 170 180 1 155 195 1.5 140 230 2. 135 245 2.5 140 235 135 225 4 130 200 1.

Calculate the number of aspirin tablets that would be a LD50 dose for this child. • The oral LD50 of aspirin is 200mg/kg. • 1 kg equals 2.2 pounds. What is John's weight in kg? What is the LD 50 of aspirin for John's weight? One aspirin tablet is equal to 325 mg. How many aspirin tablets are required to reach that LD50 quantity?

Margarita tells her nurse that since the surgery, she has noticed bilateral temporal pain. Her hemoglobin drops dramatically, and she has been newly diagnosed with giant cell arteritis. The cure is large doses of prednisone. Large doses of prednisone cause steroid-induced diabetes. The doctor prescribed a 1,200-calorie diabetic diet.
