Short explanation

In the subtopic Control of blood glucose concentration, this learning objective focuses on evaluate information about diabetes, obesity and lifestyle in social, economic or ethical contexts. Within Hormonal coordination in humans, students should explain this idea in the exact curriculum context rather than as an isolated fact.

Avoid students often fail to connect how obesity increases the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, focusing only on individual factors rather than the broader lifestyle context; instead to fix this, students should study the relationship between obesity and insulin resistance, and understand how lifestyle choices such as diet and exercise impact both obesity and diabetes risk. For exam answers, when evaluating information about diabetes, obesity, and lifestyle, consider the social, economic, and ethical implications of each factor.
