A. 6 million B. 10 million C. 15 million D. 22 million

2. Health care costs for a patient with diabetes are estimated to be how much higher than the costs for an age- and gender-matched individual without diabetes?

A. It does not cost more B. 1.2 times higher C. 1.5 times higher D. 2.3 times higher

3. Which of the following are significant markers of glycemia and a patient's overall exposure 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 postprandial glucose levels at any time, these levels should definitely be included in a patient's testing regimen:

A. When fasting levels are not controlled B. When hemoglobin A_1c (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 3 rapid-acting insulin analogs that can be used to manage postprandial hyperglycemia?

A. Insulin glargine, insulin aspart, and insulin degludec B. Insulin glargine, insulin aspart, and insulin lispro C. Insulin lispro, insulin aspart, and insulin glulisine D. Insulin NPH, insulin glargine, and insulin aspart

6. The molecular structures of rapid-acting insulin analogs (RAIAs) are 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 RAIAs?

A. The molecular differences result in less self-association to the hexameric form B. RAIAs 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. A recent review of rapid-acting insulin analogs reported that the pharmacokinetic profiles for the 3 currently available insulin analogs were similar but that ________ had a slightly more rapid onset than the other 2 analogs.

A. None; they were all identical B. Insulin glulisine C. Insulin lispro D. Insulin aspart

8. If a patient has an insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio of 1:10, how much rapid-acting insulin is needed to cover the glycemic excursion caused by a meal containing 60 grams of carbohydrates?

A. 6 units B. 3 units C. 2 units D. 20 units

9. The ultra-rapid-acting insulin that is formulated with nicotinomide and arginine is:

A. Afrezza B. FIAsp C. VIAject D. Nicotinoject

10. When studied in patients with type 1 diabetes, the inhaled insulin Afrezza was shown to cause which of the following compared to injected insulin aspart?

A. Higher hemoglobin A_1c(A1C) levels and more hypoglycemia B. Lower A1C levels and more hypoglycemia C. Lower A1C levels and less hypoglycemia D. Higher A1C levels and less hypoglycemia
