Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

Studies of patients with DM who have gastrointestinal surgery for morbid obesity show complete remission of type 2 DM in over three-quarters of the cases. The procedure is performed to decrease body weight.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

The results of a 10-year DM Control and Complications Trial (DCCT), sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), have significant implications for the management of type 1 DM. People in the study who kept their blood glucose levels close to normal by frequent monitoring, several daily insulin injections, and lifestyle changes that included exercise and a healthier diet reduced by 60 their risk for the development and progression of complications involving the eyes, the kidneys, and the nervous system. Effective foot care, yearly eye exams, and prompt reporting of infections are all important but are not the priority for reducing the development of complications.
