Answer to Question 1

B
Type 1 diabetes mellitus is caused by autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells. Excessive sugar intake does not cause any kind of diabetes mellitus. Type 2 diabetes is caused by inability of cells to respond to insulin in the bloodstream. In type 1 diabetes the pancreas is not able to keep up with the body's demands for insulin, but the cause of this is destruction of beta cells.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Mild diarrhea lasting 24 to 48 hours usually requires no nutrition intervention other than encouraging a liberal fluid intake to replace losses.
