Answer #1

Answer. The normal body temperature of 18 year old boy would be  98.6 F or 37 degree Celsius. The body temperature of a 55 year old with type 1 diabetes would be slightly higher than the normal range of 38 degree Celsius, due to heat flashes or thermal issues because of an impaired capacity to dissipate heat.

. The pulse rate of the boy would be between the range of 60-100 beats per minute. And the range of pulse rate in diabetic person is of 60-70 beats per minute. It is lowered due to the effects of diabetes on cardiovascular system.

. The normal respiratory rate for 18 year old would be between 12-16 per minute. And for the elder person of 55 year of age with type 1 diabetes the respiratory rate decreases due to the acidosis effect that results in shortness of breath and causes shallow and deep breaths.

. Blood pressure in normal 18 year old boy is studied to be 50-80mm Hg. And in diabetic case, the blood pressure in higher than the normal range of 70-90mHg according to the age. High blood pressure or hypertension is always observed in diabetes due to elevated glucose levels in body.
