Which of the Following Most Accurately Represents the Pathophysiological Sequence

question 43

Multiple Choice

Which of the following most accurately represents the pathophysiological sequence of untreated type I diabetes?

• A) Oversecretion of insulin results in hypoglycemia; cells convert to the use of fats for energy resulting in the production of ketone bodies.
• B) Glucose is not absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in hyposecretion of insulin and hypoglycemia. Lack of glucose results in anaerobic metabolism and acidosis.
• C) Hyposecretion of insulin prevents glucose from being broken down in the gastrointestinal tract; too much glucose is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract resulting in hyperglycemia and ketoacidosis.
• D) Hyposecretion of insulin results in inability of glucose to enter cells; blood glucose levels rise, and cells convert to the use of fats for energy, resulting in the production of ketone bodies.
