Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Diabetic patients should avoid drinking alcohol because it can intensify hypoglycemia produced by insulin, causing blood glucose levels to fall too fast.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Lispro has a rapid onset and shorter duration of action than regular insulin and provides insulin whose action is more like that produced by the body.
