Glucose Tolerance Q# T or F 15 In the detection and treatment of diabetes, a fasting blood glucose specimen will provide the most information

16 Mild forms of diabetes may show a normal fasting blood glucose.

17 The function of insulin is to transport glucose from the blood into various cells.

18 The glucose tolerance test measures the ability of a person to respond appropriately to a heavy load of glucose.

19 Non-diabetics will have glucose present in the urine within 30 minutes of having glucose administered to them.

20 The fasting blood level is considered to be the baseline control.

21 Glucose will show up in the urine when the renal threshold has been surpassed. (exceeded)

Answer 1

15. In the detection and treatment of diabetes, a fasting blood glucose specimen will provide the most information -----------> TRUE ( >126 mg/dl indicates diabetes)

16. Mild forms of diabetes may show a normal fasting blood glucose. ---> Patients with mild forms of diabetes (prediabetes) show a normal or near normal postprandial blood glucose levels and a slightly higher fasting blood glucose level

17. The function of insulin is to transport glucose from the blood into various cells. -----> FALSE (insulin facilitates the cellular uptake of glucose through the insulin transporters such as GLUT1, GLUT4)

18. The glucose tolerance test measures the ability of a person to respond appropriately to a heavy load of glucose.----> TRUE
