Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2

1. Anxiety is most likely not the cause for the nightmares.
2. The Somogyi phenomenon involves nighttime episodes of hypoglycemia, which cause tremors, restlessness, and night sweats, followed by a morning rise in blood sugar. They are a likely cause of the nightmares.
3. Dawn phenomenon is a rise in blood sugar between 5 and 8 a.m.
4. The Somogyi phenomenon involves nighttime episodes of hypoglycemia, which cause tremors, restlessness, and night sweats, followed by a morning rise in blood sugar. They are a likely cause of the nightmares.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4

1. Nerve damage and infection are not related to rotation.
2. Nerve damage and infection are not related to rotation.
3. Site selection affects rate of absorption; insulin will reach all body parts eventually.
4. If the same injection sites are used repeatedly, lipodystrophy and lipoatrophy of the tissue can result, which will alter insulin absorption.
