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.

Answer to Question 2

A

Feedback
A Correct. To reduce the risk for diabetes and heart disease, the serum triglycerides value should be under 150 mg/dl.
B Incorrect. The cholesterol value should be under 200 mg/dl to reduce risk for heart disease and diabetes.
C Incorrect. HDL level should be over 40 mg/dl to reduce risk for heart disease and diabetes.
D Incorrect. Fasting blood glucose value should be under 126 mg/dl.
