  1. 1Diabetes is diagnosed when:
    - The fasting glucose level is [blank_start]_____[blank_end] (on 2 separate occasions);
    - Glucose is [blank_start]_____[blank_end] 2 hours after a glucose drink (on 2 separate occasions);
    - The HbA1c level is [blank_start]_____[blank_end] (on 2 separate occasions).
    (HbA1c is glycosylated haemoglobin (occurs when Hb exposed to high glucose concentrations). It’s considered indicative of CHRONIC hyperglycaemia.
    1. A>7 mmol/L
    2. B>7%
    3. C>11 mmol/L
    4. D>11%
    5. E>6.5%
    6. F>6.5 mmol/L
  2. 2All 3 types of diabetes are increasing in prevalence (in Aus). They are:
    Type 1 diabetes (accounting for [blank_start]_____[blank_end] of diabetes);
    Type 2 diabetes (accounting for [blank_start]_____[blank_end] of diabetes);
    Gestational diabetes (also increasing).

  5. 5The link between impaired glucose metabolism and microvascular pathophysiology (e.g. diabetic retinopathy) is through the [blank_start]__________[blank_end] pathway.
    (in the presence of hyperglycaemia, aldose reductase catalyses the conversion of glucose into [above])
    1. ASorbitol
