Answer to Question 1

B
Intensive therapy is most effective in decreasing and delaying the complications of diabetes be-cause it allows better control of blood glucose levels. Psychotherapy may help patients cope with psychological concerns about their disease, but will not delay complications. Conventional ther-apy may help prevent complications if blood glucose levels are well controlled, but this is less likely than with intensive therapy. Combined therapy is not a recognized term.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Individuals with celiac disease should avoid wheat, barley, and rye. The tapioca pudding will be the only safe item on the list. It's possible the instant cocoa has gluten included, but the client will have to read the label to be sure.
