iv) 80 mg/dL”

And the answer is

A) The disease is diabetes. Diabetes is a life long disease. It is metabolic disorder of high levels of sugar in blood, also called hyperglycemia. It is caused due to deficiency of insulin or resistance of insulin or both.

B) Insulin level is responsible for the diabetes.

• It gives signal to liver, fat cells to take glucose for producing energy.
• It also gives signal to liver to store it in glycogen form when body has sufficient energy.
• If body can’t produce sufficient insulin to regulate blood glucose level or resistance of insulin then it is called diabetes.  

C) Low sugar and high fiber diet.

D) 180 mg/ml.
