1. How many Americans with diabetes are undiagnosed?

A. 8.1 million B. 21.0 million C. 2 million D. 1 million

2. The cost of managing a patient with diabetes is estimated to be how much higher than the cost of treating an age and gender matched individual?

A. it does not cost more B. 1.2 X greater C. 1.5 X greater D. 2.3 X greater

3. Which of the following are significant markers of glycemia and overall exposure of the patient to the dangerous effects of high blood glucose?

A. pre-meal glucose B. post-meal glucose C. neither is significant D. both A and B are significant

4. While patients may test post-prandial glucose levels at any time they should definitely be included in the patient's testing regimen when:

A. When fasting levels are not controlled B. When A1C is controlled C. When preprandial goals have been met and A1C goals have still not been achieved D. When preprandial levels are not controlled

5. What are the three rapid acting insulin analogs that can be used to manage postprandial hyperglycemia?

6. The molecular structure of rapid acting insulin analogs is slightly different from native human insulin. These differences result in increased absorption rates of insulin from the subcutaneous depot. Which of the following is true regarding rapid acting analogs?

A. the molecular differences result in less self-association to the hexameric form B. the analogs tend to remain in the monomeric form C. the monomeric form is the one that is primarily absorbed from the subcutaneous depot. D. all the above are true

7. The primary side effects of insulin therapy include:

A. hypoglycemia B. weight gain C. none of the above D. both A and B are true
