Question

Ona has Type I diabetes; Twyla has Type II. Mark each of the following I if it is true of Ona and II if it is true for Twyla. Each statement may have two, one, or no responses, as appropriate. Also explain why your answers are what they are.

A. She’ll certainly have to take insulin injections.

B. With good self-care, she can lessen or perhaps even fix the core problem causing her disease.

C. With poor self-care, she is at higher risk than a non-diabetic (with equally poor self-care) for heart attack, stroke, amputation, blindness, and kidney failure.

D. With good self-care, she can reduce by how much her disease increases her risk of heart attack, stroke, amputation, blindness, and kidney failure.

E. It’s worse for her to eat one big meal a day than six small ones, if the actual food consumed is the same.

Explanation / Answer

A. She’ll certainly have to take insulin injections (I).

Ona's body doesn't make insulin at all, while Twyla's body makes a reduced amount of insulin.

B. With good self-care, she can lessen or perhaps even fix the core problem causing her disease (II).

Since Twyla's body makes a reduced amount of insulin, she could exercise regularly and with regulated glucose intake, she can almost fix the problem. While Ona cannot fix the problem as Type1 diabetes is juvenile which is an autoimmune disorder (no insulin production whatsoever).

C. With poor self-care, she is at higher risk than a non-diabetic (with equally poor self-care) for heart attack, stroke, amputation, blindness, and kidney failure (I and II).

Diabetes people are always at higher risk of heart attack, stroke, amputation, blindness, and kidney failure compared to non-diabetics.

D. With good self-care, she can reduce by how much her disease increases her risk of heart attack, stroke, amputation, blindness, and kidney failure (I and II).

E. It’s worse for her to eat one big meal a day than six small ones if the actual food consumed is the same (II).

Since Twyla's body makes a reduced amount of insulin, she could exercise regularly and with regulated glucose intake, she can almost fix the problem. Ona should take meal right after insulin injections.
