Q16 (a) Mr. M is a patient with type I diabetes mellitus. He presents with dizziness, rapid breathing, confusion, and weakness. You find out that he forgot to inject his normal dose of insulin this morning. Will his blood glucose concentration be normal? Explain. Your colleague suggests that Mr. Montez needs to ingest some sugar. Is this going to help him? Why or why not? Q16 (b) What has likely happened to the pH of Mr. M’s blood? What does this mean about the hydrogen ion concentration in his blood? How will his buffer systems respond to this change in pH?
