Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale
Sweating is incorrect. While sweating can be a symptom of hypoglycemia, it is not a specific indicator of effective diabetes management.
Choice B rationale
Tachycardia is incorrect. Tachycardia can occur during hypoglycemia due to the body’s release of adrenaline, but it is not a specific indicator of effective diabetes management.
Choice C rationale
Polydipsia is incorrect. Polydipsia, or excessive thirst, is a symptom of hyperglycemia, indicating poor blood sugar control.
Choice D rationale
Polyuria is correct. Polyuria, or frequent urination, is a symptom of hyperglycemia. Effective diabetes management aims to reduce hyperglycemia and its symptoms.

A. Your body will continue producing too much insulin without medicine to counteract it. B. Your body doesn’t process glucose well. C. Your body’s hemoglobin is not binding to the sugar you consume. D. Your body’s immune system has destroyed cells in your pancreas.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A rationale
Type 2 diabetes is characterized by insulin resistance, not the overproduction of insulin. Over time, the pancreas may produce less insulin, but the primary issue is the body’s inability to use insulin effectively.

Choice B rationale
Type 2 diabetes involves the body’s inability to process glucose properly due to insulin resistance. This leads to elevated blood glucose levels and various complications if not managed effectively.
Choice C rationale
Hemoglobin binding to sugar is related to the measurement of HbA1c, which reflects average blood glucose levels over time. It is not a cause of type 2 diabetes.
Choice D rationale
The destruction of pancreatic cells is a characteristic of type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune condition. Type 2 diabetes is primarily due to insulin resistance and is not caused by an autoimmune response.
