Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Increasing fiber intake gradually may be better tolerated than increasing fiber intake quickly. Nuts and seeds are high in fiber and fat and should be used sparingly. Bran should be added slowly (up to 3 tablespoons per day), and the skin of fruit adds fiber and should be eaten whenever possible.

Answer to Question 2

D
The main difference between the different types of exogenous insulin is the length of time they take to act in the body. Their shelf life, concentration, and type of solvent are standard for all types of insulin.
