When are laboratory reports useful in follow-up review?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: When the diet is intended to influence blood glucose, lipid, or electrolyte levels
Laboratory values provide objective evidence of how a therapeutic diet is affecting the body. Blood glucose, lipid profile, electrolytes, renal markers, or other relevant tests can be compared over time to guide dietary adjustment. Preferences help with acceptability, but they cannot by themselves demonstrate biochemical improvement or safety.
