Monitoring Glucose When Exercising - Quiz

Exercise and Blood Sugar

Questions and Answers

1.

100mg/dL to 250mg/dL is a safe glucose range before beginning an exercise.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
A glucose range of 100mg/dL to 250mg/dL is considered safe before beginning an exercise because it indicates that the blood sugar levels are within a normal range. This range ensures that the body has enough glucose to provide energy during the exercise without the risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) or hyperglycemia (high blood sugar). It is important to maintain stable blood sugar levels during exercise to prevent any adverse effects on performance or health.

2.

300mg/dL is not a safe glucose range before an exercise.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
A glucose level of 300mg/dL is considered high and falls within the hyperglycemic range. High blood glucose levels before exercise can be dangerous as it may lead to dehydration, fatigue, and an increased risk of complications such as diabetic ketoacidosis. It is recommended to have blood glucose levels within a safe range (usually between 100-250mg/dL) before engaging in physical activity to ensure optimal performance and reduce the risk of adverse effects. Therefore, the statement that 300mg/dL is not a safe glucose range before exercise is true.

Rate this question:
3.

The following blood glucose may not be safe before an exercise.
- A.
  
  50
- B.
  
  70
- C.
  
  90
- D.
  
  100
- E.
  
  All of the above
Correct Answer
E. All of the above

Explanation
All of the given blood glucose levels may not be safe before exercise because they are all relatively low. Exercise requires energy, and low blood glucose levels can lead to fatigue, dizziness, and difficulty in maintaining physical activity. It is generally recommended to have blood glucose levels in the range of 100-250 mg/dL before exercise to ensure adequate energy supply to the muscles.

Most successful weight loss programs include:
- A.
  
  Diet
- B.
  
  Exercise
- C.
  
  Behavioral Modification
- D.
  
  All of the above
- E.
  
  None of the above
Correct Answer
D. All of the above

Explanation
The most successful weight loss programs include a combination of diet, exercise, and behavioral modification. Diet plays a crucial role in controlling calorie intake and promoting healthy eating habits. Exercise helps in burning calories, improving metabolism, and building muscle. Behavioral modification involves changing unhealthy habits and adopting new ones, such as managing stress, improving sleep patterns, and developing a positive mindset towards weight loss. Therefore, a successful weight loss program should incorporate all three components for optimal results.

Resistance training can decrease A1C by 1.1-1.2% and studies have show it to be safe in cardiac patients.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Resistance training, also known as strength training, has been found to have positive effects on reducing A1C levels, a measure of long-term blood sugar control in individuals with diabetes. Studies have shown that resistance training can lead to a decrease in A1C levels by 1.1-1.2%. Additionally, it has been determined to be safe for individuals with heart conditions. Therefore, the statement is true.

6.

Studied have not revealed that flexibility training are beneficial to decrease risk of injury or blood glucose
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
- C.
  
  Maybe
- D.
  
  Not sure
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
The given statement suggests that studies have not found any evidence to support the benefits of flexibility training in reducing the risk of injury or blood glucose levels. Therefore, it can be concluded that the statement is true.

Rate this question:
7.

Vigorous activity should be avoided in presence of Ketosis
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Ketosis is a metabolic state in which the body starts using fat as its primary source of fuel instead of carbohydrates. During vigorous activity, the body requires a quick and readily available source of energy, which is usually obtained from carbohydrates. In the presence of ketosis, the body may not have enough carbohydrates to meet the energy demands of vigorous activity, leading to fatigue, weakness, and potential health risks. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid vigorous activity when in a state of ketosis.

8.

In most Type 2 Diabetes patients, the type of physical activity does not interfere with the medications they take
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
The statement suggests that the type of physical activity does not have any negative effects on the medications taken by Type 2 Diabetes patients. This means that regardless of the specific type of physical activity they engage in, such as walking, swimming, or cycling, it will not interfere with the effectiveness or safety of their medications. It is important for Type 2 Diabetes patients to stay active and exercise regularly, and this statement reassures them that they can choose any type of physical activity without worrying about potential medication interactions.

9.

Physical Activity can increase urinary protein excretion and blood pressure
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Physical activity can increase urinary protein excretion and blood pressure. When we engage in physical activity, our muscles require more oxygen and nutrients, leading to an increase in blood flow. This increased blood flow can put additional stress on the kidneys, causing them to excrete more protein in the urine. Additionally, physical activity can temporarily increase blood pressure as the heart works harder to pump blood to the muscles. Therefore, it is true that physical activity can increase urinary protein excretion and blood pressure.

Rate this question:
10.

There is no scientific evidence that vigorous exercise can increase the progression of kidney disease
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
The statement is true because there is currently no scientific evidence to suggest that vigorous exercise can increase the progression of kidney disease. In fact, exercise is generally recommended for individuals with kidney disease as it can have numerous benefits such as improving cardiovascular health, maintaining muscle strength, and enhancing overall well-being. However, it is important for individuals with kidney disease to consult with their healthcare provider before starting any exercise program to ensure it is safe and appropriate for their specific condition.
