Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. DM2 is also known as

Answer: adult onset diabetes

Adults suffer more from DM2 than children because more adults tend to be overweight (metabolism slows with age), and insulin secretion also diminishes with age. However, because of an increase in childhood obesity, the term "adult onset diabetes" is becoming outdated.
2. Which of the following individuals would most likely have DM2?

Answer: a Chinese woman living in the USA

Asians living in developed countries are predisposed to DM2.
3. What are the cardinal signs of DM2?

Answer: polyuria, polyphagia, polydipsia

Polyphagia or increased hunger, is still considered a cardinal sign of DM2 although it is more common with DM1. Polyuria is increased urination, and polydipsia increased thirst.
4. People with DM2 cannot use insulin efficiently because their pancreas can no longer produce insulin.

This may occur with kidney failure, a complication of diabetes.
9. Which of the following is not a complication of DM2?
