A 50-year old man with diabetes presented with vomiting, abdominal pain, and polyuria. On further enquiry, he gives a history of missing 2 doses of insulin since morning. Examination reveals HR of 120/min, BP of 80/50 mm Hg, RR of 30/min, fruity breath odor, and dehydration. Blood glucose was 350 mg/dL. The clinical picture is suggestive of diabetic ketoacidosis. Which test, done here will give a positive result? A. Hay's test B. Fouchet's test C. Ninhydrin test D. Rothera's test

In the initial stages of the disease, type 2 diabetes is treated with Metformin only, and insulin is not needed. In later years, insulin treatment is often needed. Please help explain the progression of the disease, describing the initial role of Metformin as a drug, and the eventual need for insulin.
A 36-year-old, alcoholic woman presents with a 1-week history of yellow skin and sclerae. She has suffered persistent headaches. Her vital signs are normal. Physical examination reveals jaundice.

ENDOCRINE SYSTEM CASE: A 68-year-old male patient with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus has received optimal metformin monotherapy for the last 2 years (current dose of 2000 mg/day) and tolerates the treatment well. Hypoglycemia has not been an issue to date. His body mass index (BMI) is 28 kg/m2, which he has worked hard to reduce from 35 kg/m2 over the last 2 years. He has mild hypertension, which is well- controlled on a thiazide plus an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor. His blood lipids are well-controlled on atorvastatin 10 mg daily. He now presents at the clinic with an HbA1c of 7.6%. After reviewing the available therapeutic choices and using a shared decision-making model, a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor is selected as add-on therapy based upon simplicity of use, tolerability, and the patient’s wish to avoid anything that might cause weight gain. What specific parts of the endocrine system is affected in this case? What are the normal functions of the body…

A 6-year-old boy is brought to the physician by his mother because of intermittent upper abdominal pain during the past 5 weeks and a rash for 1 week. Vital signs are normal. Physical examination shows yellow nodules over the extensor surfaces of the upper extremities. There's hepatomegaly and tenderness on palpation of the epigastric region. Serum studies show an increased amylase activity, increased chylomicron concentration, and a markedly increased triglyceride concentration. 3 months after beginning a fat-restricted diet, his serum chylomicron and triglyceride concentration decreased significantly, and the skin lesions resolve. A deficiency of which of the following enzymes is the most likely cause of these findings? a. Acetyl-CoA carboxylase b. HMG-CoA lyase c. HMG-CoA reductase d. Hormone-sensitive lipase e. Lipoprotein lipase
