Diabetes Quiz

What are the genetic and environmental factors that contribute to the development of Type 1 diabetes?

• Vaccines and medication

• Genetic and environmental factors

• Age and gender

• Diet and exercise

How does an autoimmune reaction in the body lead to the destruction of insulin-producing cells in Type 1 diabetes?

• The immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas.

• Insulin injections cause the immune system to attack beta cells

• Type 1 diabetes is caused by a virus that destroys beta cells

• The body produces too much insulin, leading to the destruction of beta cells

Explain the role of viruses and other infections in triggering Type 1 diabetes.

• Viruses and infections have no role in triggering Type 1 diabetes

• Type 1 diabetes is triggered by excessive sugar consumption

• Viruses and other infections can trigger Type 1 diabetes by causing the immune system to attack the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.

• Type 1 diabetes is only caused by genetic factors

What is the significance of HLA genes in the development of Type 1 diabetes?

• HLA genes have no impact on Type 1 diabetes

• HLA genes are only found in people without diabetes

• HLA genes only affect Type 2 diabetes

• HLA genes are associated with the development of Type 1 diabetes.

Discuss the potential role of cow's milk in the development of Type 1 diabetes.

• Cow's milk consumption in early childhood may increase the risk of developing Type 1 diabetes.

• Cow's milk consumption has no impact on the development of Type 1 diabetes

• Type 1 diabetes is caused by factors unrelated to cow's milk consumption

• Drinking cow's milk reduces the risk of Type 1 diabetes

What are the common symptoms of Type 2 diabetes?

• Increased thirst, frequent urination, increased hunger, fatigue, blurred vision, and slow-healing sores

• No symptoms at all

• Decreased thirst, infrequent urination, decreased hunger, high energy, clear vision, and fast-healing sores

• Increased thirst, frequent urination, decreased hunger, fatigue, clear vision, and slow-healing sores

How does excessive thirst and frequent urination indicate the presence of Type 2 diabetes?

• Low blood sugar levels cause excessive thirst and frequent urination

• High blood sugar levels cause the kidneys to work harder to filter and absorb excess glucose, leading to increased urination and dehydration, which in turn causes excessive thirst.

• High blood sugar levels cause the kidneys to absorb excess glucose, leading to decreased urination and thirst

  leading to low urination and dehydration, which in turn causes low thirst.

• Type 2 diabetes has no impact on urination or thirst

Explain the relationship between Type 2 diabetes and unexplained weight loss.

• Type 2 diabetes is only associated with weight gain, not weight loss due to the body's inability to properly use insulin.

• There is a relationship between Type 2 diabetes and unexplained weight loss due to the body's inability to properly use insulin.

• There is no relationship between Type 2 diabetes and unexplained weight loss due to the body's inability to properly use insulin.

• Unexplained weight loss is a sign of Type 1 diabetes, not Type 2 due to the body's inability to properly use insulin.

What are the warning signs of Type 2 diabetes related to vision changes?

• Double vision, color blindness, and tunnel vision

• Seeing through walls, night vision, and X-ray vision

• Blurred vision, seeing floaters or spots, and difficulty in focusing

• Perfect vision, no changes, and improved eyesight

Discuss the impact of numbness or tingling in the hands or feet as a symptom of Type 2 diabetes.

• Eating too much sugar is the cause of numbness or tingling in the hands or feet as a symptom of Type 2 diabetes.

• High blood pressure is the cause of numbness or tingling in the hands or feet as a symptom of Type 2 diabetes.

• Lack of exercise is the cause of numbness or tingling in the hands or feet as a symptom of Type 2 diabetes.

• Diabetic neuropathy is the cause of numbness or tingling in the hands or feet as a symptom of Type 2 diabetes.
