The normal osmolarity and glucose level of plasma are 300mmol/L and 1g/L, respectively. Estimate the difference between the osmotic pressure of the plasma of a diabetic patient, who has a glucose level of 8g/L, and a patient that has a normal glucose level. Provide the result in atmospheres and meters of water. Ignoring possible physiological compensation mechanisms, what would you expect to happen to the body cells? How would the cells compensate if they could?
