Module 8: Advanced Blood Sugar Testing

Pre-Test

 

1
 Completed the Pre-Test.

The purpose of the pretest is to see how much you know about a topic from the start. The results will help you to determine where to focus your energy in studying.

The test is not graded. You will never be "penalized" even if you get nothing correct. If desired (and you want to reveal the correct answers), you can repeat the pre-test as many times as you wish.

I repeat for the perfectionists: This is a learning tool only; no grading!

 

Pre-Test:

#1. Normal blood sugar level peaks at about 45 minutes.
#2. Hemoglobin A1C measures blood sugar over _________ period.
#3. Some causes of abnormal fructosamine are ________________:
#4. Post-prandial elevated insulin is the earliest biomarker for identifying pre-diabetes, type 2 diabetes and increased cardiovascular risk.
#5. ______ indicates how well the beta cells are making insulin.
#6. This antibody causes increased glutamate and decreased GABA in the pancreas and is present in about 75% of people with type 1 diabetes.
#7. These antibodies attack the protein responsible for the uptake of zinc in the membrane of insulin secretory granules in beta cells.
#8. Auto-antibody testing is expensive.
