Diabetes questions
29.
Reduced risk of Type 2 diabetes has been associated with coffee consumption.
A compound called C-peptide is found in the bloodstream when insulin is released.
Increased C-peptide levels are associated with Type 2 diabetes.
The following study investigated the effect of coffee consumption on blood plasma
concentration of C-peptide in women. The subjects were grouped according to their
weight and their level of coffee consumption. The study investigated both total coffee
consumption (caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee) and consumption of caffeinated
coffee.

Diabetes questions
(a)
Describe the relationship between C-peptide concentration and total coffee
consumption.
The relationship between the C-peptide is that there are a regular amount of normal
weight people, whereas in the second graph, there are a lower amount of
obese people, than the first.
(2)
(b)
Compare the effect on C-peptide concentrations in women who drink more than 4
cups of caffeinated coffee per day with those who drink no caffeinated coffee.
Obese people tend to drink 4 cups of coffee.
(2)
(c)
Using the data provided, suggest advice that could be given to women in order to
reduce the incidence of Type 2 diabetes.
Drink less coffee, and exercise more, also do not smoke.
