-serum free T311.0 pmol/L (3.0–7.0)

A TSH receptor antibody concentration was awaited.

  3. observation
  4. propranolol

A 34-year-old woman with a 21-year history of type 1 diabetes mellitus had started treatment with subcutaneous insulin pump therapy 18 months previously. Her haemoglobin A1c before starting pump therapy was 77 mmol/mol (20–42) and she had experienced severe hypoglycaemic events without warning symptoms over the previous 4 years.

At review in clinic, she reported continuing episodes of severe hypoglycaemia without warning symptoms despite regular monitoring and advice from her insulin pump nurse specialist.
On examination, her blood pressure was 134/80 mmHg and fundoscopy revealed moderate background diabetic retinopathy. Examination of the feet revealed strong, palpable pedal pulses and early evidence of sensory neuropathy.

Investigations:
-estimated glomerular filtration rate (MDRD)24 mL/min/1.73 m2 (>60) haemoglobin A1c56 mmol/mol (20–42)
-24-h urinary total protein2.3 g (<0.2)

What is the most appropriate next step in management?

  1. change to intensified subcutaneous insulin injections
  2. refer for allogeneic pancreas transplantation
  3. refer for allogeneic pancreatic islet cell transplantation
  4. refer for combined pancreas and kidney transplantation

question 35 is incorrect, the correct answer is c, it even states so: explanation: when a vm is infected with ransomware, you should not restore the vm to the infected vm. this is because the ransomware will still be present on the vm, and it will encrypt the files again. you should also not restore the vm to any vm within the companys subscription. this is because the ransomware could spread to other vms in the subscription. the best way to restore a vm that is infected with ransomware is to restore it to a new azure vm. this will ensure that the ransomware is not present on the new vm.
