The nurse emphasizes that nutrition therapy is the basis of treatment for all diabetics in the nutrition class. Which of the following nutrition recommendations for diabetics is true?
A) Together, total carbohydrate and monounsaturated fat should provide less than 50% of total calories.
B) Glycemic control is dependent on matching carbohydrate intake with the action of insulin or other medication.
C) Natural sources of fructose (fruits, vegetables) should be restricted.
D) Gram for gram, sucrose cannot replace starch without causing a deleterious effect on glucose levels.
B
Feedback:
Glycemic control is dependent on matching carbohydrate intake with the action of insulin or other medications. The AMDR of total carbohydrates should be between 45% and 65% of total calories. Sucrose and sucrose-containing foods are not restricted but should be substituted for other carbohydrates and not eaten as "extras." The use of fructose as an added sweetener is not recommended; however, there is no reason for diabetics to avoid naturally occurring fructose in fruit and vegetables.
