Regarding DM: a) Adrenaline and growth hormone improve insulin action b) Fasting blood sugar > 100 is diagnostic for DM c) RBS > 160 is diagnostic in asymptomatic patients d) RBS > 100 is diagnostic in symptomatic patient e) Blood glucose after 2hrs of 75 g of 180 is impaired glucose intolerance
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the diagnostic criteria and relevant information regarding diabetes mellitus (DM). It presents multiple statements related to DM and seeks clarification or confirmation of their validity.
Answer
All statements are incorrect.
a) False, adrenaline and growth hormone do not improve insulin action. b) False, fasting blood sugar > 126 mg/dL is diagnostic for DM. c) False, RBS > 160 mg/dL is not diagnostic in asymptomatic patients. d) False, RBS indicative of DM is > 200 mg/dL with symptoms. e) False, impaired glucose tolerance is 140-199 mg/dL.
Answer for screen readers
a) False, adrenaline and growth hormone do not improve insulin action. b) False, fasting blood sugar > 126 mg/dL is diagnostic for DM. c) False, RBS > 160 mg/dL is not diagnostic in asymptomatic patients. d) False, RBS indicative of DM is > 200 mg/dL with symptoms. e) False, impaired glucose tolerance is 140-199 mg/dL.
More Information
Hormones like adrenaline and growth hormone counteract insulin. Diabetes is diagnosed with fasting blood glucose ≥ 126 mg/dL, or RBS > 200 mg/dL with symptoms.
Tips
Ensure understanding of diagnostic glucose thresholds and effects of specific hormones on insulin.
