higher rates of lung cancer than the control group
the fragment of preponinsulin called c- peptide
is not essential, people can live decades without it
The fragment of preproinsulin called c-peptide:
is not essential, people can live decades without it.
Engineered E. coli bacteria containing recombinant DNA is not dangerous to humans because:
it is incapable of surviving outside well controlled laboratory environments.

One conclusion from the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial was that tight control:
minimized long term complications
A continuous glucose monitor measures blood glucose approximately once every:
minute
NPH insulin is a modified form of insulin. The modification results in a longer acting activity. The modification is done by:
mixing insulin with a protein called protamine
Arnold Beckman invented and sold one of the first integrated
pH meters
From the 1920s through the 1960s, insulin used by patients with diabetes came from which sources:
pigs and cows
the first home pregnancy test was called
predictor
Neuropathy in patients with diabetes is cased by
prolonged high blood glucose levels
the label of a prescription drug
summarizes all the scientific information known about the drug.
in 1921, the best way to measure glucose in blood was based on
the final color of a mixture of blood and some reagents
Afrezza and Exubera are two different insulin delivery systems. The most notable difference between the two is:
the inhaler for Exubera is much larger than the inhaler for Afrezza.
In the 1960's, the annual supply of insulin was limited by:
the number of cows and pigs slaughtered each day
When recombinant DNA technology was developed in the 1970's, a group of prominent scientists proposed a national ban on it, until:
the risks were better understood
James Collip, at the University of Toronto, developed a method to isolate insulin based upon
the solubility of insulin in alcohol/ water mixtures
the best treatment for diabetes about 1915 was known as
the starvation diet
Several insulin analogs, like Lispro, Aspar, and Glulisine, are produced by Eli Lilly. These insulin analogs differ from normal human insulin by:
they act quicker or slower after injection
an insulin molecule in circulating in your blood stream consists of
two chains of amino acids linked together by disulfide bonds
Today, most insulin in produced in a large factory by which types of organisms:
yeast of bacteria
The University of Toronto licensed a patent on the production of insulin to Eli Lilly. The agreement allowed Eli Lilly to manufacture and sell insulin. In return, Eli Lilly would give the University of Toronto
5% of Eli Lilly's net sales from the insulin
The HbA1c test is named after
A line of hemoglobin observed on a gel.
James Collip discovered that if he injected too much insulin into a rabbit it developed convulsions. This effect is known as:
Hypoglycemia
Diabetes was first described
Independently by many different cultures
Fred Banting grew up
On a farm
Immediately after his one year of surgical residence at Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children, Fred Banting
Opened his own practice to see patients
In 1921, how would you diagnose diabetes?
With a urine test
this technique reveals the structure of complex molecules
X-Ray crystallography
off label prescribing is when
a physician prescribes a drug to treat a condition that was NOT approved by the FDA.
Fred Banting died in 1941 from
a plane crash
If a patient with diabetes was seeing Dr Elliot Joslin during the 1950's, which is more likely to characterize the patient's treatment plan:
a strict diet and multiple injections of insulin each day
When Professor Katrine Whiteson was 11 years old, she learned how to control her diabetes by herself by going to:
a summer camp
The self-orienting millimeter scale applicator (SOMA) is a device that might allow oral delivery of insulin, or an insulin pill. The shape of the SOMA is based on the shape of which animal:
a turtle
a protein is a chain of
amino acids
a closed loop system for insulin delivery contains
an insulin pump and a continuous blood glucose meter
the birth control drug Nexplanon is usually implanted under the skin of a woman's
arm
a complete lack of vitamin A in a persons diet can lead to
blindness
Afrezza and Exubera are two different insulin delivery systems. These two systems both:
deliver insulin through the lungs
X- Ray crystallography can be used to
determine the three dimensional structure of a protein
Around 1920, the amount of glucose in blood could be measured by an electronic meter
