Question

Which of the following best describes what happens to hormones in Type I Diabetes?

A. increased insulin in the bloodstream negatively feeds back onto amylin secretion, which means a person feels more hungry. Also, the low levels of amylin can cause glucagon levels to increase, which will raise blood sugar.

B. decreased insulin in the bloodstream positively feeds back onto amylin secretion, which means a person feels less hungry. Also, the low levels of amylin can cause glucagon levels to increase, which will raise blood sugar.

C. decreased blood sugar levels can lead to inhibition of glucagon activity via increased action of amylin.

D. None of these is an accurate description of the endocrinology of diabetes.

Answer 1

Answer; B) decreased insulin in the blood stream positively feeds back onto amylin secretion, which means a persons feels less hungry, also the low levels of amylin can cause glucagon level to increase, which will raise blood sugar.

Reason ; In the given description its been stated that the condition is type 1 diabetes, therefore the individual would experience decreased level of insulin rather than increased level of insulin in the blood stream. Because of the changes in amylin level there will be increase in the glucose level rather than decreased blood glucose level. Therefore the above mentioned statement best suit the given condition.
