Question

a patient with type 2 diabetes should be cautioned to skip meals if not hungry. never skip meals. eat high sugar foods. avoid exercise.

Explanation:

For a Type 2 diabetes patient, skipping meals can lead to unstable blood sugar (e.g., hypoglycemia if on medications, or erratic glucose levels). Eating high - sugar foods worsens glycemic control. Exercise is beneficial for blood sugar management and overall health, so avoiding it is incorrect. Maintaining regular meal times helps regulate blood glucose, so the patient should never skip meals.

Answer:

B. never skip meals (assuming the options are labeled as A. skip meals if not hungry, B. never skip meals, C. eat high sugar foods, D. avoid exercise)
