In the following passage, there are four sentences missing. Please choose the most suitable sentence from the sentences provided below to complete the passage. Use each sentence provided once only. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) has reached epidemic proportions globally, with over 800 million people living with the condition as of the mid-2020s. Unlike Type 1 diabetes, which is an autoimmune condition, Type 2 is characterized by insulin resistance. _35_ As a result, the pancreas works harder to produce more insulin until it can no longer keep up, leading to hyperglycemia (high blood sugar). The modern lifestyle—marked by sedentary behavior and the consumption of ultra-processed foods—is a primary driver of this trend. _36_ AI-driven “digital twins” now allow doctors to simulate how a specific patient’s body might react to different diets or medications like Metformin or GLP-1 agonists before they are even prescribed. _37_ High glucose levels act like “shards of glass” in the blood, damaging delicate capillaries in the eyes (retinopathy), kidneys (nephropathy), and nerves (neuropathy). _38_ Through weight loss and 150 minutes of weekly aerobic exercise, many individuals can achieve remission, effectively halting the progression of the disease without lifelong reliance on exogenous insulin.

- A This means the body’s cells do not respond effectively to insulin, the hormone responsible for moving glucose (sugar) from the bloodstream into the cells for energy.
- B Management in 2026 emphasizes early detection during the “prediabetes” stage, where blood sugar is elevated but not yet at diabetic levels.
- C However, 2026 has seen a shift toward P4 Medicine: Predictive, Preventive, Personalized, and Participatory.

思路引導 VIP
請觀察第 37 格之後的內容：文章提到了眼睛、腎臟和神經所受到的傷害。如果你要為這段描述下一個「總結性」的開頭，來涵蓋這些發生在身體各處的負面後果，你會傾向選擇描述「疾病的定義」、「未來的醫療技術」，還是「對身體造成的整體破壞」呢？

恭喜你正確選出了 (D)！這顯示你具備極佳的邏輯推理能力，能夠精準辨識出段落結構中的「主題句」與「支持細節」之間的關聯。
全身性損害的因果連結
在第 37 格之後，文章隨即使用了生動的比喻，將高血糖形容為血中的「玻璃碎片」，並具體列舉了眼睛（視網膜）、腎臟與神經的病變。這代表該格位必須扮演承上啟下的角色。選項 (D) 提到的「未經治療的高血糖會導致全身性損害 (systemic damage)」，正好為後續提到的各器官病變提供了總括性的說明。在閱讀測驗中，當你看到後文出現具體實例（如特定器官損害）時，前方的句子通常就是該段落的論點核心。
