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.

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%
I need to see a line graph for the following data and which (if any) of the individuals (A or B) has diabetes? Also, if the time period was extended to six hours, what would the expected glucose level for Person B be?
describe why fehling's test is not an accurate for blood-glucose levels?

- 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 PaCO2 was suggestive of metabolic acidosis.
