A 45-year-old male complains of fatigue and increased frequency of
urination. Questioning reveals that he is somewhat confused. Physical
examination reveals a 5'10", 240 lb. individual whose fat is centrally
distributed. Urine is positive for glucose, but negative for ketones.
A blood sample drawn from this patient is likely to exhibit which of
the following compared to that of a normal individual?
A. Decreased concentration of C-peptide
B. Decreased pH
C. Increased antibodies against islet cell proteins
D. Increased concentration of b-hydroxybutyrate
E. Increased osmolarity
doubt B or E

A-.nope he's got type 2 (fat, older,)
B-nope nothing in stem about acidosis + no ketones in urine
