Which of the following complications is more likely to be present at or before diagnosis in Type 2 Diabetes compared to Type 1 Diabetes? A) Microvascular complications B) Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) C) Hyperosmolar hyperglycemic syndrome (HHS) D) Macrovascular complications
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to compare the prevalence of certain complications at or before the diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes versus Type 1 Diabetes, and to identify which one is more common in Type 2 Diabetes.
Answer
Hyperosmolar hyperglycemic syndrome (HHS).
The final answer is Hyperosmolar hyperglycemic syndrome (HHS).
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is Hyperosmolar hyperglycemic syndrome (HHS).
More Information
HHS is primarily associated with Type 2 Diabetes and often occurs before or at the time of diagnosis since it is related to extremely high blood sugar levels.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing DKA with HHS, as both are serious diabetic complications, but DKA is more common in Type 1 Diabetes.
