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.

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

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.

This was easy for me, a type 1 diabetic. My body produces absolutely no insulin.

Although I knew the answer, my brain just couldn't come up with it. Brain fog, I guess. I felt a little silly at seeing the answer. For all diabetics, you are in my prayers. I'm working hard to keep my body in the pre-diabetic stage.

AwesomeAnnie7, (1) I'm sorry to hear of memory loss. (2) I'm 65 and have memory, recall and confusion issues... so you've made me feel better and more normal. (3) May you, me and others in umm... err.... older midlife, enjoy good health - including good (enough) memory! ;-)

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.

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!

Yep, I knew this one, because unfortunately, I've been Type 1 diabetic since I was very young.

SeventhAverage4, you can't "contract" diabetes in any form. It's not a flu. You can "develop" diabetes. I hope you don't.

Player dbwolf, if you haven't already I highly recommend a continuous glucose meter like the Freestyle Libre 2 or Dexcom.
