Why is portion control important in both diabetes and weight management?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It controls food quantity and energy intake
Portion control helps match the amount of food, carbohydrate and total energy to the patient's individual needs. In diabetes, appropriately sized portions can help moderate the rise in blood glucose and make carbohydrate distribution more consistent. In weight management, controlling portions can reduce excess energy intake without requiring the elimination of all food groups. It should be combined with nutritious food choices and professional advice, so A is correct.
