Answer:

C- She takes insulin for her sugar.

Explanation:

Being submerged in water, increases the oxygen requirement of the body. This causes metabolism rate to increase and the body requires more glucose to drive these compensatory processes involving organs such as the lungs, as well as her muscles. The information about her sugar condition, gives a knowledge of the kind of treatments that should be given and care is taken to avoid administering glucose solutions and gives insight into the required need for insulin when it arises.  

Without this prior information, administering glucose will further distort the metabolic processes in the body as the sugar levels in the body will be increased further than her sugar conditions already will cause.

KATRIN_1 [288]
Contraception has many methods but each artificial method may not protect all kinds of STD's. Other methods may only protect the bacterial type but not those that viral type or vice versa.  The best way to protect oneself from STD is to have a monogamous relationship with an infected partner with full awareness of the fertility cycle.
