This goal directly addresses the management of diabetes and is crucial in preventing complications associated with high blood sugar levels.
Choice B focuses on weight loss, which may be beneficial but is not as critical as controlling blood sugar levels.
Choice C, distributing calories throughout the day, is important for glycemic control but not as immediate as reaching a target HbA1c level.
Choice D, stating the reasons for eliminating simple sugars, is a good educational goal but not as urgent as achieving glycemic control.
