Answer to Question 1

People with gestational diabetes or type 2 are generally obese and have insulin resistance. Insulin resistance that develops with obesity partly originates from metabolic changes initiated in fat cells. High amounts of body fat are related to an increased release of fatty acids from fat cells into blood. High circulating levels of fatty acids stimulate the production of free radicals and other proinflammatory molecules and the development of oxidative stress and chronic inflammation. These and other changes are related to the development of insulin resistance in liver and muscle cells, excessive fat storage in the liver, and increased insulin output by beta cells of the pancreas. Over time, insulin resistance can lead to the exhaustion of beta cells and decreased insulin production, elevated blood glucose levels, and the onset of type 2 diabetes

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt. For the upper point of his scale, he used 96°, which he measured as normal human body temperature (we know it to be 98.6° today because of more accurate thermometers).
