A model of blood sugar homeostasis is shown in the image here. Blood sugar levels are regulated by insulin and glucagon. When an individual has diabetes, their blood sugar levels can remain high without the ability for the feedback loop to control it. One of the symptoms of diabetes is increased urination. Based on the image and the scenario, select ALL of the accurate and true options that apply to blood sugar regulation. A) Individuals with diabetes may lack a functional glucagon molecule, increasing their blood sugar levels permanently. B) An individual affected by diabetes will eventually return to homeostasis since blood sugar levels are tightly controlled. C) Individuals with diabetes may lack a functional insulin molecule, which would reduce the ability of lowering their blood sugar. D) Increased blood sugar levels could draw water from the cells to the bloodstream since the blood is hypertonic to the surrounding cells. E) Increased blood sugar levels will increase the osmolarity of the blood, causing water to be retained in the blood. This could lead to increased urination to rid the body of the water and glucose.

In BUN, and the absence of ketones distinguish this condition from diabetic ketoacidosis. Other forms of impaired glucose metabolism that do not meet the criteria for diabetes mellitus include impaired fasting glucose and impaired glucose tolerance. These forms are discussed in the following section. CASE STUDY 14.2: 58-year-old obese man with frequent urination was seen by his primary care physician. The following laboratory work was performed, and the following results were obtained: Casual Plasma Glucose 225 mg/dL, Urinalysis Results (Color and Appearance: Pale/clear, Blood: Negative, pH: 6.0, Bilirubin: Negative, Specific: 1.025, Urobilinogen: Negative, Glucose: 2+, Nitrites: Negative, Ketones: Negative, Leukocyte esterase: Negative).

In humans, a blood sugar level less than 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L) is normal. A reading of more than 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) after two hours indicates diabetes. A reading between 140 and 199 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L and 11.0 mmol/L) indicates prediabetes. Let's assume a person has an average reading of 250 mg/dL for a day. The person has the GFR and urine production from problem 3, and you find that the concentration of glucose in the urine is 0.2 mg/mL. What is the rate at which this person reabsorbs glucose?
