OET READING DAILY
Passage:
The incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus has escalated dramatically in recent decades, posing a significant global health challenge. This chronic condition is characterized by insulin resistance, where the body’s cells become less responsive to insulin, leading to elevated blood sugar levels. Obesity, sedentary lifestyle, and genetic predisposition are primary risk factors contributing to the development of type 2 diabetes. Lifestyle modifications, including weight management, regular physical activity, and dietary changes, are crucial for preventing and managing the disease. While oral medications can effectively control blood sugar levels in many patients, insulin therapy may be required for those with advanced disease.

ANSWERS
LISTENING
Answer: B) The potential for harmful drug interactions.
Rationale: The physician explicitly states that polypharmacy increases the “risk of adverse drug interactions and side effects.” This clearly indicates that the primary concern is the potential harm that can occur when multiple medications are taken together. While safe disposal and regular health reviews are important, they are secondary to the immediate risk of drug interactions.
READING
Answer: C) Provide a comprehensive overview of type 2 diabetes.
Rationale: The passage covers the definition, causes, risk factors, and general treatment approaches for type 2 diabetes. This comprehensive scope indicates that the primary purpose is to provide a broad understanding of the condition. While it does touch on specific aspects like lifestyle modifications and treatment options, these are presented within the broader context of the disease itself.
WRITING
Ms Mihiraa has a history of recurrent bronchitis. She has had diabetes since March 2021. Additionally, she experiences hay fever and has a pollen allergy.
SPEAKING
Mihiraa, managing your medications effectively is crucial. To help you stay on track, we can explore a few options. One option is to use a medication organizer. It’s a simple tool with compartments for each day of the week, allowing you to sort your pills in advance. Another strategy is setting reminders on your phone. You can set alarms for each medication to remind you, and even include a photo of the pill bottle for extra help. Involving family or friends can also be beneficial. They can help remind you to take your medications, or even assist with managing your medication routine.
