If a patient’s laboratory report shows high blood sugar, what will be focused on first in diet planning?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Carbohydrate amount and meal timing
High blood glucose requires attention to the amount, type, and distribution of carbohydrate, together with regular meal timing. Consistent meals can help coordinate food intake with medication and physical activity and may reduce large post-meal glucose rises. Planning should also consider total energy, fibre, protein, weight goals, medicines, and laboratory trends. Diet changes must be individualized rather than based on the report alone.
