Answer to Question 1

3

Rationale 1:The age and pain are not related to type 2 diabetes.
Rationale 2:The age and normal weight are not related to type 2 diabetes.
Rationale 3: Type 2 diabetes mellitus usually begins in middle age with increasing numbers of children being diagnosed. It is more common in those who are overweight and those with low HDL-cholesterol and high triglyceride levels.
Rationale 4:The age and developmental delay are not related to type 2 diabetes.

Global Rationale: Type 2 diabetes first appeared in middle-aged adults, but increasing numbers of children are being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is common in patients who are overweight and those with low HDL-cholesterol and high triglyceride levels.
