Question

Match the diet change to the related health impact which is specifically supportive of DIABETES. SAMPLE MEAL:
2 cups white pasta

¾ cup marinara sauce

1 cup whole milk

Italian bread w/ butter and garlic

Fresh strawberries with the meal

Instead of 2 cups white pasta, choose a smaller portion of whole grain pasta. Instead of plain marinara sauce, add beef, chicken or shrimp to the sauce. Instead of whole milk, choose reduced fat milk. Instead of Italian bread w/ butter and garlic choose a leafy garden salad.    Instead of eating fresh strawberries with the meal, move this item to enjoy as a sweet snack a few hours later.

A. This change will add protein which helps slow the digestion of carbohydrate and slow the rise in blood sugar. B. This change can help to cut calories which assists with weight loss and ultimately helps with blood sugar control. C. This change will reduce the carbohydrate at the meal and the fiber will help slow the rise in blood glucose as carbohydrate is digested. D. This will space out the carbohydrate intake and help balance the blood sugar during that time period. E. Omit this side item because pasta is enough carbohydrate at this meal. A high fiber low calorie side dish will help provide satiety and also will provide fiber which slows the digestion of carbohydrate and the rise of blood sugar.
