Ted coordinates his carbohydrate intake from all sources to balance with the insulin injection that he gives himself each time he eats. Based on this information, Ted must have which of the following diseases?

a. Diverticulitis
b. Type 2 Diabetes
c. Ketosis
d. Type 1 Diabetes

Respuesta :

Answer:

d. Type 1 Diabetes    

Explanation:

Type 1 Diabetes attacks the beta cells in the pancreas. The beta cells produce insulin, a hormone that allows glucose in our bloodstream to enter the cells for their functions and to store it for when the body needs it in the future. In type 1 diabetes, the body does not produce insulin, so there are high concentrations of sugar in the blood, which can be dangerous. A person with type 1 diabetes has to inject insulin, coordinating it with the carbohydrate intake so that glucose can enter the cells.
