A person is declared as a diabetic if his/her blood sugar/blood glucose level exceeds 160 mg/dL when tested 2 hours after meals. In some countries, it is reported in the units of m molL^(-1). If a person has blood sugar of 10 m mol L^(-1), is he/she diabetic or not? Explain.

Answer»


Answer :Molar mass of glucose `(C_(6)H_(12)O_(6))=180G mol^(-1),i.e., 1 mol=180g`
`THEREFORE"1 mmol = 180 mgor1 mmol L"^(-1)=18 ,g//dL`
`therefore"10 mmol L"^(-1)=10xx18mg//dL=180mg//dL`
Hence, he/she is DIABETIC.
