Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

Type 1 and type 2 diabetes have similar manifestations, especially polyuria and polydipsia. Polyphagia is not often seen, and weight loss is uncommon. Vision changes are seen in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

Physical inactivity is a major risk factor for type 2 DM. Patients with obesity, defined as being at least 20 over desired body weight or having a body mass index (BMI) of at least 27 kg/m2, are at major risk for type 2 DM. A blood pressure of 120/70 is normal and carries no increased risk for type 2 DM. A high waist-to-hip ratio is a risk factor for type 2 DM. A low waist-to-hip ratio carries no increased risk of the disease.
