1. Increased food intake
2. Decreased food intake
3. Increased need for insulin
4. Decreased risk of insulin reaction
1
Rationale:
1. Increased physical activity requires adequate caloric intake to prevent hypoglycemia, so food intake should be increased.
2. Increased activity would not require decreased food intake.
3. Exercise causes the insulin to be used more efficiently, so increased insulin would not be needed.
4. Increased activity would not result in a decreased risk of insulin reaction.
