Even though the normal range for serum glucose is 60–100 mg/dL, the body usually tightly regulates this level to:
1. 90–100 mg/dL.
2. 80–90 mg/dL.
3. 60–70 mg/dL.
4. 70–80 mg/dL.
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: The body does not regulate blood glucose at this level.
Rationale 2: The body attempts to maintain tight glucose control between 80 and 90 mg/dL to prevent complications associated with hypo- or hyperglycemic states.
Rationale 3: The body does not regulate blood glucose at this level.
Rationale 4: The body does not regulate blood glucose at this level.
Global Rationale: The body attempts to maintain tight glucose control between 80 and 90 mg/dL to prevent complications associated with hypo- or hyperglycemic states.
