CHECKING FOR UNDERSTANDING

Multiple Choice

1. a. Broth, c. Coffee, d. Vegetable juice, e. Gelatin,

Rationale: A clear liquid diet consists of clear liquids — such as water, broth, plain gelatin, bouillon, popsicles, ice chips, sweetened
tea or coffee (no creamer), carbonated beverages, strained tomato or vegetable juice — that are easily digested and leave no
undigested residue in your intestinal tract. 

2. d. All of the options listed are correct

Rationale: Both genetic and acquired factors contribute to the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. Among the latter, overnutrition with a
high intake of saturated fat, and sedentary lifestyle play a major role since they are able to impair insulin secretion and to
worsen insulin resistance.

3. c. Losing 5-7% of body weight through a hypocaloric low fat diet and 30 minutes of daily activity
Rationale: Two intervention trials, one in the USA and the other in Finland, have clearly shown that a lifestyle intervention, including
moderate weight reduction together with increased physical activity, reduction intake of saturated fat, and increased
consumption of dietary fibre, is able to reduce the incidence of diabetes by 60% in high risk individuals.

4. c. Pancreas
Rationale: Type 1 diabetes happens when your pancreas stops making insulin. Insulin is a hormone that helps the body's cells use
sugar (glucose) for energy. It also helps the body store extra energy in muscle, fat, and liver cells. Without insulin, this sugar can't
get into your cells to do its work. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

5. d. a and b
Rationale: People with diabetes are more likely to develop heart disease and nerve damage than people who don't have diabetes.
