Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 3, 4, 5
To diagnose premenstrual dysphoric disorder, five or more symptoms must be present most of the time during the last week of the menstrual luteal phase: feeling sad or hopeless; feeling anxious; mood swings; increased sleep; and anger. Thirst is not a symptom of this disorder.

Answer to Question 2

The glycosylated hemoglobin (hemoglobin A1c) test measures the amount of glucose attached to hemoglobin molecules and red blood cells over their life span of approximately 120 days. This test provides information about long-term control. The other options give current glucose information.
