Question

1. which of the following is/are (a) major sign(s) and/or symptom(s) of hyperglycemia?

all of the choices are correct.
poor wound healing
frequent urination
blurred vision

1. insulin shots or an insulin pump are essential for all individuals with __________.

gestational diabetes
type 1 diabetes
all types of diabetes
type 2 diabetes

Explanation:

1. Hyperglycemia can cause poor wound - healing as high blood sugar affects blood flow and immune function. Frequent urination occurs as the body tries to get rid of excess glucose. Blurred vision is due to swelling of the lenses in the eyes from high blood sugar. So all are symptoms.
2. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease where the body does not produce insulin, so insulin shots or an insulin pump are essential. Gestational diabetes may be managed with diet and exercise first, and not all type 2 diabetes patients need insulin initially.

Answer:

1. All of the choices are correct.
2. type 1 diabetes
