Waec Model Questions Vol1 2019 Biology Question 49
Practice objective / multiple choice question 49 from the 2019 Waec Model Questions Vol1 Biology examination.
A diabetic patient's blood glucose falls by 15 mg/dL for each unit of insulin injected. The patient's fasting glucose is 180 mg/dL and the target is 100 mg/dL. The pancreas secretes glucagon that raises glucose by 8 mg/dL per unit, and the liver releases glucose at a rate equivalent to 2 units of glucagon per hour. The patient injects 4 units of insulin at 08:00 h. The glucagon effect begins 30 minutes later and continues for 2 hours. Assuming no other influences, what is the blood glucose concentration at 10:30 h? Give your answer in mg/dL.
