Question

All of the following are symptoms of diabetes except:

a. polyuria.
b. polyphagia.
c. polydipsia.
d. polyglycosuria.

Answer 1

The correct answer is d. polyglycosuria.

Polyuria (excessive urination), polyphagia (excessive hunger), and polydipsia (excessive thirst) are all common symptoms of diabetes. However, polyglycosuria (excessive glucose in the urine)

Answer 2

The symptom of diabetes not associated with the condition is 'polyglycosuria', as it is not a recognized medical term. Polyuria, polydipsia, and polyphagia are actual symptoms of diabetes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question relates to the symptoms of diabetes, and among the four options provided, the symptom that is not associated with diabetes is 'polyglycosuria'. In diabetes, individuals experience various symptoms including:

• Polyuria: an increase in the frequency of urination.
• Polydipsia: excessive thirst and fluid intake.
• Polyphagia: increased appetite and food consumption.

'Polyglycosuria' is not a recognized medical term and therefore does not represent a symptom of diabetes. The term likely incorrectly combines 'poly-' (meaning 'many') with 'glycosuria,' which refers to the presence of glucose in the urine—a condition known as glycosuria, which is, in fact, a symptom of diabetes. However, the prefix 'poly-' is not typically used with 'glycosuria' to describe this condition.
