Passed the module exam

It’s time to fully review and put your learning to the test!

Below you’ll find a list of open-book, comprehensive, multiple-choice questions related to this module.

You will have 3 attempts to pass (the passing score is 80%).

If you make two unsuccessful attempts, make a note of the areas that are providing challenges for you, then reach out on an upcoming support call or use the Facebook group to find yourself a study partner.

If you are unsuccessful after your third attempt, please contact us for assistance.

#1: Fasting glucose, Fasting insulin, Triglycerides, HDL, Triglyceride//HDL ratio, and Hemoglobin A1C are the only lab markers available related to blood sugar.
#2: ____________ may be used to assess diabetes.
#3: Normal blood sugar level peaks at about 45 minutes.
#4: RBCs coated with lots of sugar result in ______ hemoglobin A1C.
#5: ______________ is when sugar coats the red blood cell.
#6: Hemoglobin A1C measures blood sugar over _________ period.
#7: The following are reasons to run Hemoglobin A1C.
#8: All of the following are true of Fructosamine except:
#9: Some causes of abnormal fructosamine are ________________:
#10: Hemoglobin A1C, Fructosamine, and Insulin can be run as early screening before waiting for fasting glucose to go above 120.
#11: Before fasting glucose goes up, we see insulin, hemoglobin A1C, and fructosamine go up.
#12: Post-prandial elevated insulin is the earliest biomarker for identifying pre-diabetes, type 2 diabetes and increased cardiovascular risk.
#13: ______ gives an indication of how much insulin is needed to keep blood sugar levels in check.
#14: ______ predicts insulin sensitivity
#15: ______ indicates how well the beta cells are making insulin.
#16: ______ measures blood sugar spikes and indicates average maximum glucose over the last 2 weeks.
#17: ________ is/are elevated in Type 1 diabetes and Latent Autoimmune Diabetes of Adulthood.
#18: This antibody causes increased glutamate and decreased GABA in the pancreas and is present in about 75% of people with type 1 diabetes.
#19: These antibodies attack insulin and is usually the first marker in young children at risk for diabetes.
#20: These antibodies attack the islet cells in the pancreas hence decreasing their effectiveness at making insulin.
#21: These antibodies attack the protein responsible for the uptake of zinc in the membrane of insulin secretory granules in beta cells.
#22: These are antibodies against a physiological regulator of glucose homeostasis and energy balance that attack the protein that regulates cytokine-induced pancreatic beta cell apoptosis.
#23: Auto antibody testing is inexpensive.
#24: According to Dr. Ritamarie, when there is suspicion that someone isn’t making enough insulin or is at risk for type 1 diabetes or LADA:
