    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Metformin, a commonly prescribed medication for diabetes, has been associated with a potential risk of lactic acidosis. Lactic acidosis is a serious condition characterized by the buildup of lactic acid in the body, which can be life-threatening. Patients with heart failure and renal impairment are already at a higher risk of developing lactic acidosis. Therefore, caution should be exercised when prescribing metformin to these patients to minimize the potential risk. Hence, the given statement is true.

    A one percent reduction in HgA1-C results in:

    • A 14% decrease in all- cause mortality

    • A 43% decrease in amputations

    • A 21% decrease in diabetes related deaths

    • A 24% decrease in renal failure

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    A one percent reduction in HgA1-C, a measure of blood sugar control, has been shown to have significant positive effects on various health outcomes. It leads to a 14% decrease in all-cause mortality, indicating a reduced risk of death from any cause. It also results in a 43% decrease in amputations, indicating a lower risk of limb loss. Additionally, it leads to a 21% decrease in diabetes-related deaths, indicating a reduced risk of death specifically related to diabetes. Lastly, it results in a 24% decrease in renal failure, indicating a lower risk of kidney failure. Therefore, all of the given options are correct.

    Which of the following should be included in sick day management instructions to Diabetes patients?

    • Discontinue diabetes medication

    • Test blood glucose less often than every 2 to 4 hours

    • Try to eat foods from their meal plan and drink plenty of fluids

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Try to eat foods from their meal plan and drink plenty of fluids
    Explanation
    During sick days, it is important for diabetes patients to continue managing their condition. Discontinuing diabetes medication can be dangerous as it may lead to uncontrolled blood sugar levels. Testing blood glucose less often than every 2 to 4 hours can also be risky as it may result in missed episodes of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. On the other hand, trying to eat foods from their meal plan and drink plenty of fluids can help maintain stable blood sugar levels and prevent dehydration. Therefore, the correct answer is to try to eat foods from their meal plan and drink plenty of fluids.

    Which of the following is true regarding exercise guidelines for Diabetes patients?

    • They should not exercise if blood glucose >250mg/dl with ketosis

    • They should postpone exercise and treat hypoglycemia if blood glucose is below 70mg/dl

    • A. and B.

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. A. and B.
    Explanation
    For Diabetes patients, it is true that they should not exercise if their blood glucose level is above 250mg/dl with ketosis. This is because exercising in this condition can further increase blood glucose levels and worsen the ketosis. Additionally, if their blood glucose is below 70mg/dl, they should postpone exercise and treat hypoglycemia first. Exercising in a hypoglycemic state can be dangerous and may lead to further drop in blood glucose levels. Therefore, both options A and B are correct regarding exercise guidelines for Diabetes patients.
