1. jerry has a family history of type 2 diabetes. all of the following are signs or symptoms of type 2 diabetes that jerry should monitor except ______.

○ breath that smells like fruit
○ excessive thirst

○ numbness

Explanation:

For question 3, exercising daily can help control weight and blood - sugar levels, reducing diabetes risk. A Western diet high in red meat, processed meats, refined sugars and starches, and foods with high glycemic index increase diabetes risk, so only exercising daily is a good choice. For question 4, excessive thirst, blurry vision, and numbness are common symptoms of type 2 diabetes. Fruity - smelling breath is more associated with diabetic ketoacidosis in type 1 diabetes rather than a common symptom of type 2 diabetes.

Answer:

1. Exercising daily
2. breath that smells like fruit
