Diabetes
True or False
Eating too many sweets can give you Type 1 Diabetes.
What is False?
The condition has nothing to do with diet or lifestyle. It's a disease that happens when the immune system destroys the cells in the pancreas that make insulin. That’s a hormone you need to get energy from food. Without insulin, your blood sugar levels become higher than normal, and that causes health problems. People with type 1 diabetes need to take insulin for the rest of their lives.
True or False
You can’t have desserts if you have diabetes.
What is false?
You can still have treats, but save them for special occasions. When one comes up, have a small scoop or a thin slice. Sugar is a carbohydrate. Carbs make your blood sugar go up quicker than protein or fat. If you have diabetes, track your carbs. If you crave something sweet on an ordinary day, have a piece of fruit.
True or False
You should warm up before exercising.
What is True?
Each workout should begin with a warm-up. A warm-up should include 5 to 10 minutes of exercise such as walking, slow jogging, knee lifts, arm circles, and/or trunk rotations. Warming up is important to help prevent injury. It also helps to maximize benefits from exercise.

Which of these affects blood sugar levels the most?
A. Fat B. Carbohydrates C. Protein
What is Carbohydrates?
Carbs give you energy and affect your blood sugar levels. Proteins and fat have little or no effect. For most people, 40% to 60% of the day’s calories should come from carbs. A dietitian can help you figure out how many you should have at each meal and snack. To best control your blood sugar, eat the same amount of carbs for each meal, from day to day. That means you eat the same amount of carbs for breakfast every day. Keep your daily lunch carbs the same, too.
It is okay to snack if ______.
Knowing when to eat and what to snack on can help keep your blood sugar in check. Pick snacks that combine carbs, protein, and fat to keep you full and help control blood sugar. Good choices include: a piece of fruit, half a turkey sandwich on whole wheat bread, or a few cups of low-fat microwave popcorn.
True or False
Maintaining physical fitness requires major lifestyle changes.
What is false?
Fitness can be achieved through small changes in what you eat and your level of activity. It's really that simple. Remember that you can start out slowly; work your way up to a higher level of activity, and implement more dietary changes over time.

What percent of people with diabetes have type 1?
A. 5-10% B. 35-40% C. 70-75%
What is 5-10%?

People with diabetes should eat foods that are high in _____.
What is fiber?
Fiber is an essential part of every healthy diet, but especially for those with diabetes. It helps promote regularity, and helps keep blood pressure, glucose and cholesterol in a healthy range. Fiber can be found in a variety of plant foods including fruits, vegetables, legumes (beans, peas, lentils), and whole grains.
True or False
The more you sweat during a workout, the more fat the body is burning.
What is False?
"This is false," says Cedric Bryant, chief exercise physiologist for the American Council on Exercise. "The amount you sweat is indicative of your body's ability to maintain its normal body temperature. You sweat when your body starts to store heat so you can experience cooling via evaporation of that sweat. So it doesn't correlate to how much energy, or calories, is being expended."

People with type 1 diabetes have a higher risk of:
A. Dry skin B. Insomnia C. Celiac
What is Celiac?
The estimated prevalence of celiac disease in patients with type 1 diabetes is approximately 6%, and about 1% in the general population. Due to the significantly higher prevalence of celiac disease in diabetes patients, many doctors recommend getting screened for celiac disease after a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes, as well as celiac disease patients getting screened for type 1 diabetes.
True or False
You can eat as much sugar-free food as you want.
What is false?
Sugar-free isn’t the same as carbohydrate-free or calorie-free. Some sugar substitutes don’t have carbs, but many do. And some sugar-free food can affect your blood sugar as much as foods with the sweet stuff. Check the label to see how many grams of carbs are in each serving.

Which is a better choice if you are going to have a potato?
A. White potato B. Sweet potato C. Either
What is a sweet potato?
You don’t need to give up carbs, but you do need to pick healthy ones. Both white and sweet potatoes are good sources of vitamins, potassium, and fiber. But sweet potatoes have an advantage: They don’t raise blood sugar as much as white ones.
True or False
