Player #158499, just cause we aren't in the medical field does not mean we are all dumb.... I did not get this correct but love learning these things!! Don't know about everyone else but i play these games to learn all this stuff!!! You're lucky you already do!!!
Player dbwolf
My grandson was diagnosed at 4 with type 1 diabetes. He is 6 now but it's been a scary road and we all have to pay close attention every hour of every day to keep him alive. This was an awesome answer to this question. Love this game, always learning new things :)

I don’t think the non medical field public should be underestimated. For one, if you like this game, you’re interested in factual information. Second, I’m an LVN and even my children know the human body very well.

Player #2160135, yes, but at 62 I've forgotten a lot of what I once knew.

In case no one else pointed it out: once glucose gets into cells it is only built (anabolized) into glycogen or fat IF the cell does not need it for energy. If the cells needs energy the glucose is immediately broken down (catabolized) for the energy!

I have been hospitalized with pancreatitis three times, in the past couple of years. I think I'm lucky that my blood glucose levels are normal, so far no chance of contracting diabetes
Player Eeyore
I had better have gotten it correct. I'm a former RN and a Type II diabetic. It's nice to have an easy one accasionally.
Duneboy
This was easy for me, a type 1 diabetic. My body produces absolutely no insulin.

can't believe how much I learned from one question. thank you creators of this game!

Diabetes is a devestating illness, both type I and type II. It's a crime how pharmaceutical companies raise the costs of insulin that so many of us need. The cost of insulin is insane and many of us that need it are not wealthy. Even with insurance it is almost $400 a month. There are several medications I, personally, have to take to be able to live and survive. Insulin is the most needed and expensive. It's a travesty.

With me suffering from diabetes and I knew the answer to this one.

I am a ty]pe 2 diabetic and yes it can cause a lot of issues if it is not treated. I am on pills but my nephew was a type 1 had to take insulin. sadly we lost him last year.i try to keep the diabetes under control.

I play to learn new things. I'm not an expert in any field!!!! For someone to comment negatively about someone else because they didn't get the answer correct, is very immature on they're behalf. I would love to see them try an answer basic questions about another's field of work or study. Let's see how smart they think they are 🤔
Jass
I am read about it in 9th class
jazzly
I am in fifth class and I don't have any idea that was written
Kate
That question was so hard.

K9Queen , and when they reduced prices so seniors could pay for them, the companies jacked up prices of other meds. they make it sound like they're the nice guys, helping with seniors' health costs. but in fact, they're just spreading their robbery to others that are just as dependant on their meds.

Ziela1313, I play this game for the same reason. And the laughs I get from so many comments is the icing on the cake. Never stop learning.
Micki
I was recently diagnosed as pre-diabetic, so this answer explained a lot for me and I found it very interesting. Thanks!

Cat Mom
Player dbwolf, Type 1 is the worst kind! It starts at childhood & lasts the rest of their life! I pray that we'll one day find a cure, for all, but especially for the children!
Aishu

Azu
SeventhAverage4, Good for you 👍
Sadie Lynn
Yep, I knew this one, because unfortunately, I've been Type 1 diabetic since I was very young.
ScifiCole
SeventhAverage4, you can't "contract" diabetes in any form. It's not a flu. You can "develop" diabetes. I hope you don't.
ScifiCole
Player dbwolf, if you haven't already I highly recommend a continuous glucose meter like the Freestyle Libre 2 or Dexcom.
Eshxxkaydzee
