Answer: True

Explanation:

Ischemia is the reduction in blood flow to a tissue resulting in decreased oxygen and nutrient supplies to the tissue which may lead to cell death if not reversed.

Risk factors to ischemia includes:

1. Vascular diseases

2. Trauma

3. High blood pressure

4. Tobacco

5. Physical inactivity

6. High cholesterol.

Ischemia can be acute or chronic depending on its course of action. Acute ischemia occurs when there is a sudden decrease in the flow of blood to a tissue while chronic ischemia occurs when there is a gradual decrease in blood flow to a tissue.

Ischemia can be reversible when blood flow to the tissue returns. When irreversible, it leads to cell death.

kupik [55]

Diabetes is a disease that affects the body’s ability to process sugars in food. Someone with diabetes can suddenly become ill if he has an abnormal quantity of sugar in his blood, Either too low or too high.

A person’s blood sugar can drop too low if he is taking insulin and in this case he or she might have trouble walking or might feel weak or have trouble seeing clearly.

In such a situation quickly give him sugar: fruit juice, soda or any sugar and If he is unconscious, place a pinch of sugar or honey under his tongue. If still you can see an unusual behavior take him or her to a doctor.
