ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔What role do community support programs play in diabetes management? -
✔✔They facilitate weight loss and diabetes management efforts.
✔✔Why is long-term strategy important for weight management? - ✔✔It is essential for
reducing diabetes risk.
✔✔How does regular exercise affect glucose uptake? - ✔✔It improves glucose uptake
by muscles, enhancing insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control.
✔✔What types of exercise are beneficial for metabolic health? - ✔✔Both aerobic and
resistance training.
✔✔What is the Glycemic Index (GI)? - ✔✔A ranking of carbohydrate foods based on
their impact on blood glucose levels, from 0 to 100.
✔✔What is the difference between high GI and low GI foods? - ✔✔High GI foods cause
rapid spikes in blood glucose, while low GI foods provide a steady release of glucose.
✔✔What does glycemic response refer to? - ✔✔The actual rise in blood glucose after
eating, influenced by GI, portion size, and meal composition.
✔✔What dietary components are linked to obesity? - ✔✔A low-fiber diet, excessive fat
and sugar intake, and large portion sizes.
✔✔What is a recommended minimum caloric intake for weight loss? - ✔✔1200
kcal/day.
✔✔What is the safe rate of weight loss per week? - ✔✔About 0.5 to 1 kg (1 to 2 lb).
, ✔✔What is the connection between obesity and type 2 diabetes? - ✔✔Obesity is a
major risk factor, with approximately 80% of individuals with diabetes being obese.
✔✔How can exercise impact the risk of developing type 2 diabetes? - ✔✔Regular
physical activity improves insulin sensitivity and can reduce the risk by 40-50%.
✔✔What type of fiber is particularly effective in reducing post-meal blood glucose
spikes? - ✔✔Viscous fiber.
✔✔What are some examples of high GI foods? - ✔✔White bread, sugary cereals, white
rice, and potatoes.
✔✔What are some examples of low GI foods? - ✔✔Whole grains, legumes, vegetables,
and most fruits.
✔✔What lifestyle changes have been observed in migrant studies? - ✔✔Adopting
Western diets can lead to increased health issues like type 2 diabetes and certain
cancers.
✔✔What is a key behavior modification strategy for weight loss? - ✔✔Eating only at the
kitchen table to avoid distractions.
✔✔What are the primary explanations for obesity in Canada? - ✔✔Overeating and low
physical activity levels.
✔✔What is the impact of sugar-sweetened beverages on obesity? - ✔✔They contribute
to increased energy intake and are linked to weight gain.
✔✔What is the role of dietary fiber in diabetes prevention? - ✔✔It slows digestion and
glucose absorption, reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes.
✔✔What does the National Weight Control Registry suggest about physical activity? -
✔✔Successful weight-loss maintainers engage in about one hour of physical activity
daily.
✔✔What is the importance of community programs in dietary education? - ✔✔They help
individuals understand and manage their glycemic response.
✔✔How does a high-fiber diet affect diabetes risk? - ✔✔Higher fiber intake is
associated with a lower risk of developing diabetes.
✔✔What are the implications of obesity on chronic diseases? - ✔✔Obesity is linked to
increased risk of type 2 diabetes and other chronic diseases.
