Answer to Question 1

B
Minerals are important in body structures and influence the function of muscles and the central nervous system. Proteins are structural components and form part of muscles, but are less in-fluential in the central nervous system. Vitamins and carbohydrates do not have structural func-tions.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Mastering the art of eating for diabetes occurs over time from learning the basic facts to assimilating and implementing information. Individuals differ in how much information they want and how motivated they are to improve their eating habits. Periodic and ongoing follow-up improves compliance.
