What factor is least likely to lead to hypoglycemia?
a. overuse of alcohol
b. uncontrolled type 2 diabetes
c. pancreatic cancer
d. excessive insulin administration
e. well-controlled type 1 diabetes?
The answer to this question would be: b. uncontrolled type 2 diabetes
All the option listed has a risk for hypoglycemia. Alcohol could cause hypoglycemia thus overuse of alcohol will have a high risk of hypoglycemia. Uncontrolled type 2 diabetes will result in high blood glucose which called hyperglycemia. Pancreatic cancer can cause excess insulin production. Diabetes type 1 that well-controlled means that the patient got insulin regularly. If the patient stops eating the insulin is still working the blood glucose will drop.
