Correct Answer

Aspirin is often taken by diabetes patients in addition to insulin. This is because aspirin can help reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke, which are common complications of diabetes. Aspirin works by preventing blood clots and reducing inflammation in the body. However, it is important for diabetes patients to consult with their healthcare provider before starting any new medications, including aspirin, to ensure it is safe and appropriate for their individual needs.

  20%
- B.
  
  40%
- C.
  
  60%
- D.
  
  80%
Correct Answer
D. 80%

Explanation
80% of Type 2 (Adult-Onset) Diabetes patients are overweight. This means that a majority of individuals diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes are carrying excess weight. This correlation between weight and Type 2 Diabetes is well-documented, as obesity is a significant risk factor for developing the condition. The excess weight puts strain on the body's ability to properly regulate blood sugar levels, leading to insulin resistance and the development of diabetes. Therefore, it is crucial for individuals with Type 2 Diabetes to manage their weight through a combination of healthy eating, regular physical activity, and medical treatment.

  Strokes
Correct Answer
A. Respiratory Disease

Explanation
Diabetes primarily affects the body's ability to regulate blood sugar levels. It can lead to various complications such as kidney disease, clinical depression, and strokes. However, respiratory disease is not directly caused by diabetes. While individuals with diabetes may be at a higher risk for respiratory infections or complications, it is not a direct consequence of the condition itself.

This high number highlights the importance of preventive measures and early intervention to prevent the progression to diabetes.
