  7. 18. Two words without a space meaning what is used in finalizing digestion in the small bowel, with fats being broken down into smaller fatty acids
  8. 19. What happens to an infant's birth weight in the first year
  9. 21. Microscopic hair-like projections that line the intestinal tract absorb nutrients into capillaries
  10. 22. Produced in the liver and stored in the gallbladder, is involved in fat digestion by modifying dietary fats into emulsions for better absorption.
  11. 25. This is enhanced with adequate fluid, fiber intake, and physical activity.
  12. 26. Two words without a space meaning what breaks down proteins into amino acids and carbohydrates into simple sugars in the stomach
  13. 27. Refers to a state of elevated BG levels, generally defined as greater than 100 mg/dL in the fasting state or greater than 140 mg/dL 2 hours postprandial.
  14. 28. Term used to describe a BMI between 25.0 and 29.9
  15. 29. An excess of this can contribute to insulin resistance
Down
  1. 1. Two words without a space referring to what is now added to flour processed in the United States and in many countries, resulting in fewer neural tube defects
  2. 2. Three words without a space referring to the group of coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral arterial disease which are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality for individuals with diabetes
  3. 4. The process of mechanical and chemical breakdown of food matter and complex macronutrients
  4. 5. Two words without a space refers to a state in which the body cells respond abnormally to the signaling action of insulin.
  5. 6. Refers to a plant compound that has antimicrobial, antioxidant, antiinflammatory, and immune-boosting properties.
  6. 8. Term for skin tags, which are commonly found on the neck and axillae, are also thought to be related to insulin resistance.
  7. 10. Excess hunger
  8. 11. Refers to a state of insufficient or low BG levels, defined as less than 70 mg/dL.
  9. 13. This is defined as a BMI greater than the 95th percentile.
  10. 14. This is twice as common in those with diabetes compared with those who do not have diabetes, with both sharing a common mechanism of high oxidative stress and inflammation
  11. 16. A mucous-like fluid that contains the digestive enzyme amylase, which assists with food breakdown and aids the chewing and swallowing process
  12. 17. This also provides kilocalories, but it is not considered a macronutrient because it cannot support or maintain bodily functions.
  13. 20. Two words without a space which describes a group of disorders characterized by chronic hyperglycemia and disturbances in carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolism.
  14. 23. These are the kilocalorie energy-containing nutrients known as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
  15. 24. Two words without a space meaning an example of starvation-related malnutrition
