Question

Which of the following is a characteristic of type I diabetes mellitus?
A)glucokinase induction
B)low levels of glucokinase
C)excess insulin production
D)over production of liver glycogen

Accepted Answer

Type I diabetes mellitus is characterized by the destruction of pancreatic beta cells, which leads to a deficiency of insulin. This deficiency results in an inability to regulate blood glucose levels. Glucokinase is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in glucose sensing and uptake by beta cells. In type I diabetes mellitus, low levels of glucokinase can be observed.
