Question

question 4

in all cases of diabetes, which of these occurs?

blood insulin levels decrease
blood glucose levels decrease
blood glucose levels increase
blood insulin levels increase

Explanation:

Define diabetes mellitus

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by the body's inability to properly regulate blood glucose levels, leading to chronic hyperglycemia.

Analyze insulin levels in different types of diabetes

In Type 1 diabetes, insulin levels decrease due to autoimmune destruction of beta cells. In Type 2 diabetes, insulin levels can initially increase or remain normal due to insulin resistance. Therefore, insulin changes are not uniform in all cases.

Analyze glucose levels in all cases of diabetes

Because cells cannot effectively absorb glucose from the bloodstream (either due to a lack of insulin or cellular resistance to insulin), glucose accumulates in the blood. Thus, blood glucose levels increase (hyperglycemia) in all cases of diabetes.

Answer:

• Blood insulin levels decrease
• Blood glucose levels decrease
• Blood glucose levels increase (Correct answer)
• Blood insulin levels increase
