Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Nutrition therapy and exercise are capable of controlling glucose levels for the majority of people with type 2 diabetes. However, due to the progressive nature of diabetes, most individuals with type 2 diabetes eventually require oral agents, insulin, or both to manage blood glucose levels.

Answer to Question 2

B
DRIs combine the classic concerns of deficiency diseases that were the original focus of nutrient recommendations with the contemporary interest to reduce the risk of chronic diet-related dis-eases such as coronary artery disease, cancer, and osteoporosis. UL is the level of nutrient intake that should not be exceeded to prevent adverse health risks. The EER aims to maintain good health by providing energy intake levels to maintain individuals' body weights within specific age, gender, height, weight, and physical activity categories. Healthy People 2020 seeks to strengthen policy and practice to improve health.
