What proportion of pregnant women with gestational diabetes go on to develop type 2 diabetes?

Correct! Wrong!

Explanation:
Women who are African-American, Hispanic/Latina, or Native American are more likely than white women to develop gestational diabetes. Women who have gestational diabetes are more likely to develop diabetes in the ten years after giving birth.

Diabetes patients are more likely to develop heart disease if they also:

Correct! Wrong!

Explanation:
Because both diabetes and smoking restrict blood arteries, people with diabetes who smoke have a higher chance of getting heart disease. Additionally, smoking is linked to an increased risk of eye issues and may harm leg circulation.

Diabetes can lead to all of the following, with the exception of:

Correct! Wrong!

"Explanation:
Untreated diabetes also may result in loss of lower limbs to amputation and death."

Except for: All of the following are risk factors for type 1 diabetes.

Correct! Wrong!

Explanation:
The primary cause of type 1 diabetes is a lack of insulin production by pancreatic beta cells. It is unrelated to nutrition and primarily impacts children and young adults.

Except for one of the following problems, untreated hyperglycemia can cause:

Correct! Wrong!

Explanation:
Chronic hyperglycemia or excessive blood sugar levels can lead to diabetic ketoacidosis, a state in which the body burns fat for energy and releases ketones into the urine. When available insulin is inefficient and blood sugar levels are too high, diabetic hyperosmolar syndrome develops. As a result, glucose is expelled in the urine since the body is unable to use it or fat as an energy source. Both diseases could end in a coma or death if emergency medical care is not received.

Prediabetes is linked to all of the following, with the exception of

Correct! Wrong!

Explanation:
Prediabetic individuals are those who have raised glucose levels but do not yet satisfy the criteria for diabetes and are more likely to acquire type 2 diabetes. People with prediabetes may be able to delay or avoid the onset of type 2 diabetes by losing weight and increasing their physical activity.

What proportion of all instances of adult diabetes are type 2 diabetes, on average?

Correct! Wrong!

Explanation:
The vast majority of adult instances of diabetes diagnosed are type 2 occurrences. It starts out gradually with insulin resistance, and as the body's need for insulin rises, the pancreas' capacity to make it declines.

Symptoms of excessive thirst and large amounts of urine that is highly dilute include:

Correct! Wrong!

Explanation:
In diabetes insipidus, the kidneys are unable to save water, frequently as a result of a lack of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) or a failure of the kidneys to react to ADH. Although the symptoms of diabetes mellitus and other illnesses may be similar, they are not the same. In diabetes insipidus, hyperglycemia is not present.

The following may be the initial symptom of type 1 diabetes in female children and teenagers:

Correct! Wrong!

Explanation:
Excessive thirst, hunger, urination, weight loss, weariness, irritability, impaired vision, and candida albicans infection are among the warning signs and symptoms of type 1 diabetes (also known as yeast infections).

All of the following are risk factors for type 2 diabetes, with the exception of:

Correct! Wrong!

Explanation:
A family history of diabetes, poor glucose metabolism, a history of gestational diabetes, and race/ethnicity are additional risk factors for type 2 diabetes. Compared to white people, people of color, Hispanics/Latinos, Asian Americans, Native Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders are more likely to get diabetes.

Hemoglobin A1C indicates that blood sugar is under good control when:

Correct! Wrong!

Explanation:
A1c calculates the average blood glucose over the two to three months before testing and assesses the amount of hemoglobin that is glycated. A1C readings of 6.5 percent or greater on two tests are used to diagnose diabetes. A1C levels between 6% and 6.5% are regarded as prediabetes.
