Answer to Question 1

ANS: C, D, E, F
Gestational diabetic individuals are put into a separate category because of the special clinical features of diabetes that develop during pregnancy and the complications associated with fetal involvement. These women are also at a greater risk of developing diabetes 5 to 10 years after pregnancy. The majority of individuals with gestational diabetes have normal glucose tolerance postpartum. Gestational diabetes patients must be reclassified 6 weeks after delivery into one of the following categories: diabetes mellitus, impaired fasting glucose, impaired glucose tolerance, or normoglycemia. Gestational diabetes is diagnosed in about 4 of all pregnancies in the United States. Gestational diabetes does not include diabetic women who become pregnant.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D
Ketone testing should be done when illness occurs, during pregnancy, and whenever blood glucose is elevated above the individual's usual range. It is not necessary to test urine for ketones before and after physical exercise or every morning upon awakening.
