Chapter 26, Problem 6TYK
Summary Introduction
To compare: The results of the test for a diabetic and a healthy individual.
Introduction:
The blood glucose level is regulated by two hormones namely insulin and glucagon. One hormone increases the blood glucose level and the other one decreases the blood glucose level. Insulin is responsible for decreasing the blood glucose level and glucagon hormone is responsible for increasing the blood glucose level. Increment in the blood glucose level leads to diabetes and decrement in the blood glucose level can take a person to coma.

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).
If 85% of diabetic patients are correctly identified by a urine test for glucose, but 25% of non-diabetic
patients are false-positives by this test, then the urine test for glucose has:
a sensitivity of 85%, and a specificity of 75%
a sensitivity of 25%, and a specificity of 85%
a sensitivity of 75%, and a specificity of 85%
a sensitivity of 15%, and a specificity of 25%
a sensitivity of 75%, and a specificity of 15%
Based on the result in the test, identify which of these tests are important basis for determining glucose levels of diabetic patients from blood and/or urine and how is a modern method used glucose monitoring different? (Qualitative Analysis of Carbohydrates)

- CC was taken to hospital breathing but unresponsive after two days of heavy alcohol consumption and limited food intake. According to CC's past medical history they had a history of chronic alcohol addiction and fatty liver disease. Analysis of CC's serum glucose returned a value of < 20 mg/dL, indicating severe hypoglycemia. The attending physician prescribed a bolus of D-glucose to help re-establish CC's blood glucose to within normal bounds. Analysis of the CC's serum electrolytes and PaCCh was suggestive of metabolic acidosis. Analysis of CC's blood suggested metabolic acidosis.
