Answer to Question 1

C
Patients with type 2 diabetes are most likely to maintain good metabolic control if they space their meals evenly throughout the day. Avoiding all sources of simple carbohydrates does not address other dietary excesses of kcals, fat, and complex carbohydrate. Avoiding eating during the evening and at night may help control kcal intake, but would not help control blood glucose levels. Eating one large meal and two small meals each day would result in uneven metabolic control.

Answer to Question 2

D
To prevent hypoglycemia after exercise, patients with type 1 diabetes should increase their intake of carbohydrate-based foods. Decreasing or omitting an insulin dose would essentially starve cells and could be dangerous. Increasing intake of protein-based foods would not prevent a de-crease in blood glucose level as effectively as carbohydrate-based foods.

The Romans did not use numerals to indicate fractions but instead used words to indicate parts of a whole.

Did you know?

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. 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.
