Answer to Question 1

B
To facilitate compliance, patient meal plans should be based on their usual eating habits. Includ-ing some favorite foods each week may improve quality of life, achieving weight-loss goals may minimize the effects of the disease, and including meals and snacks at the same time each day may improve glycemic control, but these measures would not have so much effect on compliance.
