Question

select the correct answer.
glenn has a family history of diabetes. which lifestyle change should he adopt to lower his chances of developing diabetes?
a. avoid sugar and sugar products and undergo regular medical tests every month.
b. exercise for 30 minutes every day and eat nutritious meals that are low in sugar and saturated fats.
c. exercise for 30 minutes every day and undergo regular medical tests every month.
d. eat nutritious meals that are low in sugar and saturated fats and take dietary supplements.

Explanation:

1. Option A is incorrect because completely avoiding all sugar is unnecessary and unsustainable, and monthly medical tests are excessive for prevention.
2. Option C is incorrect as monthly medical testing is not required for routine diabetes prevention for someone with just a family history.
3. Option D is incorrect because there is no standard "diabetes supplement" proven to reliably lower diabetes risk as a primary prevention measure.
4. Option B is correct: daily 30-minute exercise improves insulin sensitivity, and low-sugar, low-saturated fat nutrient-dense meals help maintain healthy blood glucose and weight, both evidence-based lifestyle changes to reduce type 2 diabetes risk for at-risk individuals.

Answer:

B. Exercise for 30 minutes every day and eat nutritious meals that are low in sugar and saturated fat.
