Q

T/F use of non-nutritive sweeteners is not acceptable in those with diabetes

A

False!

Is acceptable within defined acceptable daily intake levels

26
Q

What is there a potential for when using non-nutritive sweeteners?

A

Potential to reduce overall calorie and CHO intake if substituted for caloric sweetener

Without compensation of additional calories from other foods

27
Q

2 ways to treat diabetes with carbohydrates

A
  • insulin to carb ratio

- fixed daily insulin doses (with meals)

28
Q

Insulin to carb ratio

A
  • Education program using CHO counting can result in improved glycemic control
    Improves ability to match insulin to CHO intake
  • allows for more flexibility based on lifestyle, meal schedule, food choices and activity
  • utilized with rapid acting insulin
  • based on amounts of CHo eating and units of insulin used to meet target BG goals
29
Q

Fixed daily insulin doses (with meals)

A

Consistent CHO intake with respect to time and amount can result in improve glycemic control

30
Q

T/F individuals with T2D identified to have health and numeracy literacy concerns may better suited for simple diabetes meal planning approach

A

True

31
Q

T/F fat quantity is more important than quality

A

False!

Quality > quantity

32
Q

Large intake of ____ can affect insulin response and may slow decline in blood glucose after meal

A

Fat

33
Q

T/F recommendations for saturated fat, cholesterol and trans fat intake in diabetic is the same as general population

A

True

34
Q

What type of eating pattern may benefit glycemic control and CVD risk factors?

A

Mediterranean

Increased intake of monosat FA
Effective alternative to lower fat, higher carb eating pattern

35
Q

What type of fats is recommended to prevent or treat CVD

A

Long chain omega 3 FA

Nuts/seeds

36
Q

T/F ingested protein may increase insulin response without increasing plasma glucose concentrations

A

True

37
Q

T/f avoid use of CHO food source low in protein for treating or preventing hypoglycemia

A

False!

CHO high in protein

38
Q

T/F for people with diabetes and diabetic kidney disease, reducing the amount of dietary protein below usual intake is NOT recommended

A

True!

Not recommended because it does not alter glycemia measures, CVD risk or course of GFR decline

39
Q

T/F there is evidence of benefit from vitamin or mineral supplementation in people with diabetes who do not have underlying deficiencies

A

False!

No clear evidence

40
Q

A

True

43
Q

A
  • understand components of healthy eating
  • how to apply current meal/snack plan to their medication plan
  • importance of monitoring CHO intake
44

A
  • integrate insulin into nutritional and physical activity patterns
  • adjust meal/snack insulin doses based on CHO content when using rapid acting insulin
  • use consistent CHO with fixed meal doses
  • planned exercise requires adjusting insulin or additional CHO intake
45
