Question

Erika has type 1 diabetes and gives herself insulin injections to help manage her blood glucose level. One afternoon, Erika tested her blood and discovered that her blood glucose level was 260 mg/dl. Based on this information, Erika should (A) give herself a specific dose of insulin.(B) conduct hemodialysis(C) consume more glucose(D) do nothing

Answer 1

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Erika has type 1 diabetes which means there is no insulin production in the body. The normal blood glucose level should not be more than 180 mg/dL after having meal.

If Erika uses insulin regularly and still encounters that one day her blood glucose level is 260 mg/dl then she must give herself a specific dose of insulin as this a hyperglycemic condition.

Hence, the correct answer is option A
