The school nurse is concerned about Jim, a 12-year-old student with type 1 diabetes. He has recently had three episodes of hyperglycemia during school hours and had to be brought to the nurse's office for care
When discussing Jim's food choices the nurse realizes that he does not understand what foods are classified as carbohydrates because he told her he could eat an unlimited amount of: 1. Orange juice.
2. Hot dogs.
3. Peanut butter.
4. Popcorn.
Orange juice
Rationale: Orange juice has high-fructose content and may contain added sugar and would be classified as a carbohydrate. Hot dogs contain protein, fat, and a moderate amount of filler that could include carbohydrates. Peanut butter is considered fat and protein, but can also have added sugar. Popcorn is a carbohydrate but because of the high-fiber content will be metabolized slower than orange juice.
