Answer to Question 1

 Weight  weekly
 Nutritional intake  24-hour recall, food diary, interviews
 Nutrition-focused physical assessment (presence of subcutaneous fat and muscle wasting and hand-grip strength)

Answer to Question 2

Carbohydrate counting is extremely important when monitoring diabetes through nutrition therapy, because it is carbohydrate sources that provide the greatest contribution to blood glucose levels. Carbohydrates are the major macronutrient in food that causes postprandial glucose variability. Consistent carbohydrate intake is generally needed when fixed dosages of insulin are prescribed for meals. Fixed insulin dosing is easier for patients to follow and is commonly prescribed.

This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
