Why is diabeties so prevalent and what technologies are used to treat diabetic patients?
Some pre-diabetics wish to eat like diabetics so that they do not get diabetes. I was one of these. I am 5'10" and used to weigh 195 pounds. Please come up with a diet plan for one day for that person consisting of one breakfast, lunch, dinner, and two (2) snacks.
A doctor has three patients who he suspects may be diabetic. On two occasions, each patient was administered a sugar test (i.e., was asked to consume a very sugary beverage) and their blood sugar levels were monitored for 120 minutes according to the graphs shown below.
a) Which of the three patients does not have diabetes? How do you know?
b) Which of the three patients has Type I diabetes? How do you know?
c) Which of the three patients has Type II diabetes? How do you know?

- It is estimated that 6.8% of Canadians suffer from either Type I or Type II diabetes, which can be controlled with insulin therapy. However, an estimated 2% of the Canadian population are allergic to medicinal insulin and would require alternative treatments to control the condition. Estimating the current Canadian population at 35 million, determine the number of diabetic patients who also have an allergy to insulin. patientsarrow_forwardYou are a nurse in an acute care hospital.
