Carbohydrates are important macronutrients found in the diet. Carbohydrate molecules come in many sizes and form different structures. The table lists three different carbohydrates- Sucrose, Starch, Fructose Select whether each carbohydrate is a monosaccharide, disaccharide, or polysaccharide.
Sucrose: Disaccharide Starch: Polysacharide Fructose: Monosaccharide
Dietary fiber is also an important consideration when discussing the impact of carbohydrate sources on blood sugar levels. In this example, soda is a poor source/good source of fiber and broccoli is a poor source/ good source of fiber.
Poor source Good source

Mario decides that there is no time like the present to begin managing his diabetes. The doctor explains that if Mario commits himself to actively tackling his diabetes with a healthy lifestyle, he may be able to reverse it. The key is that he will have to maintain a healthy lifestyle for the rest of his life.Which of the following is NOT a key component of the prevention and management of type 2 diabetes? a. healthy dietary pattern b. increased consumption of coffee c. regular physical activity d. adequate vitamin D e. weight loss if overweight
b. increased consumption of coffee
Adequacy of which nutrient is considered especially important for prevention and management of metabolic system? a. vitamin C b. vitamin D c. iron d. magnesium e. calcium
b. vitamin D
Diabetes mellitus is characterized by too much glucose buildup in the blood. In TYPE 1 or TYPE 2 diabetes, which is associated with obesity, this is because the target cells of the body's tissues fail to respond to insulin. In later stages of this type of diabetes, the pancreas begins to fail and eventually stops secreting the hormone INSULIN OR GLUCAGON, which is required to decrease blood glucose levels. In TYPE 1 or TYPE 2 diabetes, which is not associated with obesity, this is because there are a decreased number of ALPHA OR BETA cells available to secrete insulin; this results in an insufficient amount of insulin to meet the demands of the body.
TYPE 2 INSULIN TYPE 1 BETA
