Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Most malt flavoring is made from barley. Sorghum, millet, and carrageenan should be safe foods for an individual with gluten intolerance to consume.

Answer to Question 2

A
Hypoglycemia occurs when blood glucose level falls below 50 mg/dL; therefore 40 mg/dL is hypoglycemia. Normal blood glucose levels are about 80 to 100 mg/dL, although levels may in-crease to 140 mg/dL after meals. Blood glucose levels above 180 mg/dL would be considered hyperglycemia. Impaired glucose tolerance is diagnosed when fasting blood glucose levels are >100 mg/dL but <126 mg>
