Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The nutritional needs of a child with diabetes mellitus are essentially the same as those of the nondiabetic child, with the exception of the elimination of concentrated carbohydrates such as sugar. Fiber has been shown to reduce blood glucose levels.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
A child who receives regular insulin before meals may have an insulin reaction if food is not eaten within 20 minutes. A snack of graham crackers and milk will prevent an episode of hypoglycemia.
