This quiz is to test how well the students understood the Type 1 Diabetes lesson.

Questions and Answers

1.

Type 1 diabetes results from the body's acceptance to produce insulin, the hormone that locks the cells of the body, allowing glucose to enter and fuel them.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The given statement is false. Type 1 diabetes actually results from the body's inability to produce insulin, rather than its acceptance to produce insulin. Insulin is necessary for the cells of the body to absorb glucose and use it as fuel. In type 1 diabetes, the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, leading to a lack of insulin production. As a result, glucose cannot enter the cells, leading to high levels of glucose in the blood.

Which type of diabetes is easier to prevent?
- A.
  
  Type 1
- B.
  
  Type 2
- C.
  
  Type 3
Correct Answer
B. Type 2

Explanation
Type 2 diabetes is easier to prevent compared to type 1 diabetes. This is because type 2 diabetes is largely influenced by lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, and weight management. By adopting a healthy lifestyle, individuals can reduce their risk of developing type 2 diabetes. On the other hand, type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition that cannot be prevented as it is not linked to lifestyle choices.

Which treatment cannot cure type 1 diabetes?
- A.
  
  Pancreatic transplantation
- B.
  
  Exercise and dieting
- C.
  
  Islet cell transplantation
Correct Answer
B. Exercise and dieting

Explanation
Exercise and dieting cannot cure type 1 diabetes because type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Exercise and dieting can help manage the condition by regulating blood sugar levels and improving overall health, but they cannot restore or replace the damaged insulin-producing cells. Pancreatic transplantation and islet cell transplantation, on the other hand, involve replacing the damaged cells with healthy ones, offering a potential cure for type 1 diabetes.

Who was the main researcher for pancreatic transplantations?
- A.
  
  Dr. Kaufman
- B.
  
  Dr. Shapiro
- C.
  
  Dr. Raj
Correct Answer
A. Dr. Kaufman

Explanation
Dr. Kaufman was the main researcher for pancreatic transplantations.

What treatment did Dr. James Shapiro research to find a cure for type 1 diabetes?
- A.
  
  Islet cell transplantation
- B.
  
  Pancreatic transplantation
- C.
  
  Eat more healthy
Correct Answer
A. Islet cell transplantation

Explanation
Dr. James Shapiro researched islet cell transplantation as a treatment for type 1 diabetes. Islet cell transplantation involves transplanting clusters of cells from the pancreas (islet cells) that produce insulin into the patient's body. This procedure aims to restore the body's ability to regulate blood sugar levels and eliminate the need for insulin injections. Dr. Shapiro's research focused on refining the transplantation technique and improving the outcomes for patients with type 1 diabetes.

6.

Which is not a negative effect of islet cell transplantation?
- A.
  
  Possible rejection
- B.
  
  Increased kidney function
- C.
  
  Decrease WBC count
Correct Answer
B. Increased kidney function

Explanation
Islet cell transplantation is a procedure used to treat type 1 diabetes by replacing the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. The transplantation of islet cells can have several negative effects, such as possible rejection due to the body's immune response. However, increased kidney function is not a negative effect of this procedure. In fact, improved kidney function is often observed in individuals who undergo successful islet cell transplantation, as it helps to stabilize blood sugar levels and prevent further damage to the kidneys caused by diabetes.

Rate this question:
7.

Which is a negative effect of pancreatic transplantation?
- A.
  
  Weight loss
- B.
  
  Decrease insulin levels
- C.
  
  Possible death
Correct Answer
C. Possible death

Explanation
Pancreatic transplantation can have negative effects, one of which is possible death. This is because pancreatic transplantation is a major surgery that carries risks such as infection, bleeding, and organ rejection. In some cases, these complications can be severe and life-threatening, leading to possible death. It is important for patients considering pancreatic transplantation to weigh the potential benefits against the risks involved and make an informed decision in consultation with their healthcare provider.

Rate this question:
8.

Islet cell transplantation and pancreatic transplantation are the best treatments for type 2 diabetes.
- A.
  
  False
- B.
  
  True
Correct Answer
A. False

Explanation
Islet cell transplantation and pancreatic transplantation are not the best treatments for type 2 diabetes. These procedures are more commonly used for type 1 diabetes, where the body does not produce insulin. Type 2 diabetes is typically managed through lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, oral medications, and sometimes insulin therapy. Islet cell and pancreatic transplantation are considered more invasive and are usually reserved for severe cases of type 1 diabetes that are not well-controlled with other treatments. Therefore, the statement that these transplantations are the best treatments for type 2 diabetes is false.
