Answer to Question 1

B
Glucose provides the most efficient form of energy for the brain (and muscles too). Fructose and sucrose are both sweeter than glucose so it is not the sweetest sugar. Various other carbohydrates are found in fruits and sugars. Avoiding glucose does not prevent diabetes.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Acute illnesses, even mild ones, can significantly raise blood glucose levels. A daily intake of 150 to 200 g of carbohydrates divided into approximately 45 to 50 g every 3 to 4 hours is recommended.
