Why is it important to maintain suitable levels of blood glucose?

High blood glucose concentrations can damage organs
Low blood glucose concentrations prevent the body from getting energy from respiration
High blood glucose concentrations cause increases in awareness and response time

How does insulin control the level of blood glucose concentration?

Insulin is released by the pancreas which stimulates cells in the liver to take in glucose, lowering blood glucose concentration
Insulin is released by the pancreas which stimulates cells in the liver to convert glycogen to glucose and release it, raising blood glucose concentration
Insulin is a hormone related to reproduction and has no effect on blood glucose concentration

How does glucagon control the level of blood glucose concentration?

Glucagon is released by the pancreas which stimulates cells in the liver to take in glucose, lowering blood glucose concentration
Glucagon is released by the pancreas which stimulates cells in the liver to convert glycogen to glucose and release it, raising blood glucose concentration
Glucagon is a hormone related to reproduction and has no effect on blood glucose concentration

Which type of diabetes is caused by the immune system destroying the pancreatic cells that produce insulin?

Type 1 diabetes
Type 2 diabetes
Type 3 diabetes

Which type of diabetes is caused by insulin-producing cells not producing enough insulin, or target organs not responding properly to insulin?

Type 1 diabetes
Type 2 diabetes
Type 3 diabetes

What methods do people use to control type 1 diabetes?

Eating a low-sugar diet
Injecting insulin into the fat layer under the skin
Being physically active
Taking medicines that reduce the amount of glucose released by the liver

What methods do people use to control type 2 diabetes?

Eating a low-sugar diet
Being physically active
Injecting insulin into the fat layer under the skin
Taking medicines which reduce the amount of glucose released by the liver

What is the best way to describe the relationship between BMI and type 2 diabetes?

Positive correlation
Negative correlation
No correlation

Which type of diabetes is correlated with waist to hip ratio?

Type 1 diabetes
Type 2 diabetes
Type 3 diabetes

Blood glucose levels are controlled with insulin and glucagon to maintain suitable levels of blood glucose concentration. What type of feedback mechanism is this?

feedback, since a change in blood glucose after the release of each hormone, brings the blood glucose concentration back to an average level. e.g. if it gets too high, it is lowered by the correct hormone.
