Answer to Question 1

A
Ketosis occurs because of an abnormal accumulation of ketones caused by metabolism of fatty acids for energy with decreased metabolism of glucose due to lack of insulin. Amino acid meta-bolism is not generally involved in diabetic ketoacidosis.

Answer to Question 2

D
Diabetic ketoacidosis may occur in a patient with type 1 diabetes who goes away for the week-end and forgets to take his or her insulin. Missing a meal would cause hypoglycemia. Participa-tion in an all-day sporting event could cause hypoglycemia if he or she did not eat extra food. Accidentally taking a double dose of insulin would cause hypoglycemia.
