Question 2 of 5

Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In managing diabetes mellitus, one of the key principles is proper macronutrient distribution in the diet. The recommended dietary intake for a diabetic client typically includes a moderate amount of carbohydrates (30% to 35% of total calories) in order to help control blood sugar levels. Including higher amounts of fat (around 40%) can be beneficial in managing this condition as well. Adequate protein intake (25% to 30%) is also important for overall health and satiety. This balanced macronutrient distribution helps in maintaining stable blood sugar levels throughout the day, supporting optimal diabetes management.
