Answer to Question 1

D

Feedback
A Incorrect. The white bread breaks down to glucose quickly and therefore tends to cause a rapid, brief rise in the blood sugar. Whole grains provide a more sus-tained release of glucose and are a better source of carbohydrates.
B Incorrect. The blood glucose level increases after eating baked beans, but the rise will occur more slowly, reaching a lower level of hyperglycemia and remaining for a longer period.
C Incorrect. Furosemide (Lasix) and thiazide diuretics increase blood glucose le-vels.
D Correct. Famotidine (Pepcid) is unlikely to cause an increase in blood sugar.
