Question

a patient has diabetes, a disease that causes high blood sugar levels. which macromolecule will a dietician monitor most closely in a patient that has the disease?
carbohydrates
nucleic acids

Explanation:

Carbohydrates are broken down into sugars (like glucose) during digestion. In diabetes, the body has trouble regulating blood sugar levels. So, a dietician would monitor carbohydrates closely as they directly impact blood sugar. Nucleic acids are related to genetic information (DNA, RNA) and not directly to blood sugar regulation.

Answer:

carbohydrates
