Answer to Question 1

1 . The characteristics of type 1 include: the usual age of onset is childhood or young adulthood; body build is normal; plasma insulin is absent or low; ketoacidosis is a possible complication; response to insulin is normal; there is no response to oral antidiabetic drugs. 2 . The characteristics of type 2 include: the usual age of onset is middle age or later; the body build is overweight; plasma insulin is normal or high; hyperosmolar coma is a possible complication; the response to insulin is reduced; this type is responsive to oral antidiabetic drugs.

Answer to Question 2

In acute blood loss, assuming that the individual has sufficient iron stores, the bone marrow is promptly able to replenish blood cells, and if the newly formed cells are normal, the resulting anemia is normocytic, normochromic. Chronic blood loss with inadequate stores of iron and continuous depletion of these stores results in a microcytic, hypochromic anemia.
